Toilet Replacement Lids - Burning Man What Worked for the Bathrooms in 2013' - This Old Toilet - 650-483-1139









Return the Bathroom Beacons to Burning Man in 2013— brighter, blinkier, and more fun than ever!
Don’t you hate wandering across the inner-playa at night in hopes of finding a bathroom? Let the Bathroom Beacons light your way!
The Bathroom Beacons make it easier to find the portapotties at night with three unique art installations located the Temple and the 3:00 & 9:00 promenades. Each installation is lit at night to guide you to the nearest restroom, while contributing to the unique artistic aesthetic of Burning Man– quirky, ironic, amusing, interactive, beautiful, and blinky! 

Better, Brighter, and Blinkier than ever!

In 2013, we're bringing back upgraded versions of our two favorite beacons from last year-- Welcome to Fabulous (thanks in part to an honorarium grant from Burning Man!)  as well as The Toilet Bowl lanes.  And we have a NEW beacon for 2013-- Twisted Bristles-- a 15' tall toilet brush with bristles that light up!  Also new for 2013, we'll have special deep-cycle-battery-powered safety lights on the installations to ensure they stay visible to explorers and art cars alike, even when the generators don't want to cooperate.

About the Installations

Welcome to Fabulous.  Our flagship beacon from 2012 is back with a fresh coat of paint, plus a new professional marquee around its edge.

The Toilet Bowl.  Everyone's favorite pastime while waiting for your friends at the potties is back, featuring upgrades to the ball return and new super-blinky full-color programmable LED light strips down the lanes that are sure to amuse, if not improve your game.

Twisted Bristles.  Imagine a 15-foot tall toilet bowl brush with over 1200 bristles made of 18" acrylic rods, backlit by LEDs dancing in a variety of blissful patterns.  That's Twisted Bristles! The prototype in the Beacon laboratory looks amazing-- this may be everyone's new favorite.
