Just wanted to share this. I went last year and it was a blast. Thanks. Correction: The Apocalypse is actually Sept 23-25, 2011 The Judgement Day cultists may have been wrong about May 21st, but the apocalypse IS coming. And it’s going to feature lots of young Californians in mohawks and leather. Experience the Apocalypse Sept 23rd–25th at Wasteland Weekend 2011, a 3-day post-apocalyptic party in the Southern California desert. Slated to occur in the Mojave desert north of Los Angeles, the costumes-mandatory event promises to build on the success of Wasteland Weekend 2010, an event which brought out some 400 people, was covered by G4 and the Associated Press, and was honored by a special acknowledgement from Mad Max film franchise director, George Miller. Wasteland Weekend features themed vehicles, post-apocalyptic sports, Bartertown vendors and hundreds of impressively costumed attendees. Nightfall brings live music, stunt shows, metal grinders and fire dancers. This year, the organizers already expect the turn-out to double, and are adding live bands, a Thunderdome for combat, and bigger and better set pieces as they progress towards a 360-degree immersive post-apocalyptic environment.

Cool, thanks for reminding us about that event. We had some reports from people who went last year, but I hadn't heard what the 2011 dates were yet.

Badhammer - they will most likely put photos up in a gallery on the website and on their FaceBook page. Hopefully you can make it out one year!!

Well we have a $200,000,000 lottery draw going on here in the UK tonight and I have a couple of tickets so if my numbers come up I will happily stump up for everybody on here to fly there, sort out their tickets and accomadation and even throw in a few beers and grilled stuff. Always looks like great fun.

That would be awesome. We should all make a pact that if any of us ever win the lottery we'll do exactly that.

Well the lottery draw here was not won so its now $266,000,000 so my offer stands but this time, well I will even cover the cost of breakfasts as well. Never let it be said that I aint a generous soul
