THE GÄVLE GOAT HAVEN'T BURNED SINCE 2016 AND WE'VE ALL SEEN AND FELT THE CONSEQUENCES. LAST NIGHT A BRAVE MARTYR CLIMBED THE TWO WOODEN FENCES AND WITH FIRE FINALLY ENDED THE FOUR YEAR REIGN OF CHAOS. THE FUTURE IS SAVED, ALL HAIL THE GOAT OF FIRE!
PS. I'M ON A INTERNET BREAK UNTIL JANUARY BUT HAD TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS. LOVE YOU ALL, SEE YOU IN 2022
A recreation of this tradition has actually caused a massive controversy at the Boston Burn regional, including some event board resignations. Talking about “the goat” is still taboo in some circles I hear. Glad to see it on fire 🔥 There is something so visceral and enjoyable about big scale fires for me, even before I got into the burn scene. It’s literally my favorite thing.
Santa Feans have had Burning Man since 1924.
