Flipside, a regional version of Burning Man, takes place every year in the Texas Hill Country, about 45 minutes West of Austin. The rugged terrain is transformed into a community campers, grouped into theme camps varying from "Camp Smack That Ass" where visitors are gifted with a firm walloping of the buttocks and a souvenir paddle to the "Snuggledome" where intimacy is cultivated but no sex allowed.
Flipside adheres to the Burning Man tradition of a gift-only economy. If you need something just ask, but bring something to offer! Theme camps pool their efforts to offer a gift to the community. Many have full bars or breakfast cereals, some offer homebrew, domes filled with balloons, or costumes.
First-time attendees frequently camp solo and contribute in varied ways like supplying iced coffee, leading outdoor yoga, offering personalized tours of the night sky, and creating art.
Days are spent in the clothing-optional swimming hole or "sleeping it off", nights in varied revelry. Raves, live bands, drum circles, and conversation by the fire with no bedtime tempt the dawn.
