PlayaQ 2008

Plans are under way for PlayaQ 2008. Read up on Salome and don't look for us near the Esplanade. We are going to go underground a bit this year to cut down on the crowds.

Updates later.

Who is the Q?

Who is Q?

The campers at the Q work hard and play hard. We are dedicated to maximizing our Playa experience and believe that every second in Black Rock City is a valuable. The Core (the Core Planning Committee) works 12 months out of the year organizing the Q village and Playa Q art in order to create magical experiences on and off playa. Our goal to attract campers with the same mind set.

Our kitchen is filled with folks who chase strangers out with meat cleavers if they 're slowing us down. The Admiral of the Armada plans our attacks down to one-second increments. Those certifiably insane Ubercarnies, yeah, the ones who built the Roaster Coaster, run our bar, hand out the beatings, and take bacon very very seriously. Our Executive Chef cooked for Madonna and the Dead. Our Smokemaster won the New York State Rib Competition in only his second BBQ contest. Our Maitre 'D sat Al Gore on his first night of work at opening of the Red Room in New Orleans.

Get the picture? We 're a dedicated group of highly focused, obsessively driven and multi-talented individuals committed to the creation of a truly unique form of art, that combines the most basic human activity, with constantly evolving collaborative stimulation, to create magical experiences.

Think you 've got Q Stuff?

If you 're a chef, a cook, or a back yard grill ninja. If you get joy from serving others. If doing dishes puts you in a Zen state of mind. If you love pork, porn, PBR, gumbo, ice cold ceviche and the best wine on the playa. If you can rig a tent and trouble shoot 7 refrigerators in the middle of the night on zero sleep to keep our meat cold. Or if you soul gets a thrill by generating happiness in others, the Playa Q IS the place for you.

What is the Q?

From two guys and a grill to 150 campers, multiple art projects and some serious vision, the Playa Q has grown dramatically.

The Playa Q creates multi-sensory performance art. We cook the best BBQ on the playa. We celebrate the artists and do-ers that create Burning Man. We take food and drink and sensory celebrations to new levels. We build a State of Nevada health department certified restaurant quality kitchen in the desert. We serve thousands of meals. We create magic.

We run on two driving principles:

  • We look forward to serving you!
  • We did not come here to fuck around.

Q Timeline

  • 2003 - the Soss Boss launches the Playa Q with Grill master Kinski, a Grill Squire and a Witch they rock the conglomerate village with a range of tasty BBQ treats.
  • 2004 - Playa Q grows into an enclosed restaurant space with nightly multi-course gourmet BBQ dinners.
  • 2005 - Playa Q spins off from the Glom and begins public food give-aways.
  • 2006 - Playa Q grows to 140 campers, hauls in 2 tons of food and 6 tons of restaurant quality gear to feed over 3,000 meals, the Carne Armada sets sail.
  • 2007 - The Q is stronger than ever and ready to serve. Carne Armada will sail again. Camp lunch will celebrate and nourish those who give their energy to the Q to make magic on the playa. Cooking competitions will pit the best against the best for the coveted title belt. Reverend Smoke and Ubercarney's Pork Protection Patrol ups the ante with the founding of the Chapel of Smoke and an enhanced Fire Bar. Rock Star Dinners will celebrate the people who make the best art, the best camps, and do the hardest work on the Playa. More public engagement. More art. More BBQ. The Q did not come here to fuck around.
