It is hard to tell you all the many things about Kathanika and it's inhabitants. I think the first thing an outside observer might notice is their fondness for dirt. People in Kathanika love to roll and play in dirt. It's as if they were wandering alone in a desert for weeks, surviving only on the sweat from their baby camel's underbelly, and happened upon an oasis and now they are wallowing in what they think is a soothing lake. But no, it's just dirt. Hmm. I'm not sure if that's "Kathanikans" per se, but it sounded good.

Kathanikans are from all over the West Coast mainly, with some other folks coming from out of the other parts of the country and world. Many of the members have been attending Burningman for over 7 years and have no plans of ever stopping.

The Kathanika camp is represented by many things. I think one of the most dominant "items" that the camp has had as a trademark is the hookahs at storytime shisha. Click on the menu item to the left for more on storytime shisha.

Another thing that Kathanika has is a pretty ass kicking bar and many people that like to drink from that bar.

Lately it seems that all the members of Kathanika can think of is things to wrap in bacon, make taste like bacon, or turn into bacon. Really, you might expect to see some Kathanikans this year eating some bacon wrapped dirt pies or something, maybe.

So if you are out and about on the playa and make your way to our camp, please do us the honor of stopping in, having a puff on our hookahs, having a sip of our whiskey, and if we are grillin', snack some of our grubs.
