The H.A.L. crew joined the Shanghai Burning Man Decompression (put on by the people behind the Dragon Burn) at Inferno this past Sunday. From afternoon and into the evening, H.A.L. solicited lines for a massive collaborative poem (see the full poem below) and mad H.A.L. poets targeted members of the crowd for spontaneous poetry performances.
More photos (and a giant poem) after the jump….
