why the outfits and costumes though?
The event is about "radical self expression."

some people make sculpture, some spin records, some sing, some dance, some cook, many decorate themselves. EVERYONE contributes in some way. EVERYONE is responsible for clean up, safety, etc.

the tickets say, "PARTICIPANTS ONLY. NO SPECTATORS."

If you show up in bermuda shorts with a camera around your neck - hoping to take pics of "weird people," expect to be body painted by the end of the day.
