Ok, this year’s Burning Man is going to be great. First of all, there’s going to be that 40-foot tall pink flamingo. Now I’m hearing that a 20-foot long, LED-lit mutant vehicle –based on Chris Torres’ popular 2011 meme Nyan Cat— will be roving around the desert. It’s a project of the Astro Cats camp who plan to serve up “toaster pastries” (I guess they can’t say “Pop-Tarts”) and pump out “Nyan-Cat inspired dance music” as they drive the giant space-cat around the event.
The name of the vehicle? Nyan Car, of course.
The Astro Cats are currently crowdfunding Nyan Car on GoFundMe. One of the pledge rewards is for a “special ‘toaster pastry'” that can only be redeemed on-playa.
Even if you’re not a Burner, give their pitch video a watch, it’s pretty spectacular.
