In our efforts to appease the atomic octopus that lives beneath the Black Rock Desert, in hopes that it bestows great weather conditions at Burning Man 2026, we humbly offer this. An Octopus Of The Day, or Occo The Day. We think the more fun weird pictures we make, find, or post… the better the chances are for a great weather year. Today we’re taking a look back, offering an Occo Flashback if you will.

That kind of challenge sounds like our kind of fun. We may not have a post every single day, but we’ll be thinking about it. We’ll share some of our favorites as often as we’re able to. Today’s Occo The Day entry is a a flashback to 2025! Here are all the parts of the Atomic Octopus, cut and stacked and ready to be sanded and painted before heading to the Black Rock Desert.
