Have you guys ever heard of Afrika Burns? It’s the South African version of it. Probably a bit smaller (around 5,000 people) but the spirit of creativity, gifting, radical inclusion and immediacy is alive and well. Happening 22-27 of April this year (soon!). Check it out:

Tell that to the guy from Minnesota who I hung out with there who drove for 33 hours and arrived 10 minutes early only to get stuck in the aforementioned D Lot for 7 hours, while listening to Gate people hissing “We’re gonna make you pay!”

Welcome home?

That said, despite the somewhat puzzling beginning, it was “the best burn ever” for me.

Some people were excited coming in, and some cantankerous. The shop vac was hilarious. Remember: The Party Starts in D Lot and GATE ARE NOT GREETERS. No, we will not hug you. Thanks.
