A Burning Man art car fundraiser, dance party, underwater adventure, and performance art “casino” with absurdist vegas and carnival games!
That’s right, Euro SeaWorld's finest traveling underwater casino is coming to Brooklyn. A steamy night of DJ’s, dancing, underwater fire spinning, bottle service, double or nothing, glitz and glamour.ATLANTIS CITY, UNLOST, TOTAL LIQUIDITY, spy thriller drama...
Where everybody’s a winner… Nobody’s a winner.. So everybody’s a winner… so try your luck!
Come swim through two rooms of dj’s, with vinyl all night in the Deep End and fire from midnight to two in Liminal Space, and oodles of interactivity with us at our last big NYC fundraiser before we head out West next month to the first Burning Man in three years! This is a Burning Man art car fundraiser, for Thunder Gumbo and her massive roaming ghost whale art car "B.O.O.G.A," the most loved rig on the playa.
Ostentatious glamour, spy drama, underwater vibes, and chancey games. Go double or nothing with some probably-rigged roulette in the rotting hull of a sunken ship, infiltrated by foreign spies attempting to steal priceless relics from our Right Reverend’s Charles Entertainment Clams's (similar but legally distinct from Chucky cheese mascot "Chucky Cheese's) infamous treasure horde!
With a mix of classic glamor, spy drama, underwater vibes, and games aplenty, we can’t wait to help you go double or nothing with some clearly rigged roulette in the rotting hull of a sunken ship that’s being infiltrated by foreign spies attempting to steal priceless relics from the Right Reverend’s Charles Entertainment Clams infamous treasure horde in the name of national security!

A NOTE FROM OUR LAWYERS: EVERYBODY WINS...EXCEPT EVERYBODY.... TRY YOUR LUCK
This is not gambling, this is performance art. But you might win an art prize! Bring an extra shirt, you might lose it.
SAFER SPACES: We exist to be a safe container for radical self expression, and to that end we have a zero tolerance policy for violence, harassment, or speech that is racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise a shitty waste of our collective human potential.
WHO ARE WE? Thunder Gumbo is a volunteer-run non-profit with an ever-changing crew of collaborators, centered around a giant art car, a legendary boat, and a shared desire to cultivate containers for a sense of wildness and possibility in the Burning Man community of NYC and beyond. It is a fragrant and electric stone soup, it's a puppet occupied and brought to life by all who choose to animate it, and all guests who arrive are heartily encouraged to bring their own flavor.
