Philosophical Statement


Legend has it that roughly 27 years ago, strange extra-terrestrial beings landed on a beach along the West coast of the United States.  They brought with them the gift of creativity and impregnated that on the people gathered there that night.

It was a short,  but powerful visit - and the other-worldly beings promised to revisit some day to see that the newly gained power was being utilized properly.  Word immediately spread and every year since then, more and more people have gathered in a ceremony of creativity and action, sending their prayers through ritualistic dance and music waiting for the god-like beings to return.

The beings have received these prayers and have been very impressed with everything that has been done in their name.  They will return this year via the annual ceremony and as a token of their appreciation will bring their own interactive creative care packages.

"Cargo Drop!" is a creativity care package from a far away friend.  It rewards curiosity and promotes unique interactions.    The aliens will fly over the desert where the annual "Burning Man" ceremony is held and drop their care packages to the ground.

Participants that spot these packages may be confused at first as to what wonderful gifts they contain, but upon closer inspection and interaction they will realize that it is them, the participants, who make the gift what it is.
