Trump cancels Burning Man 2017
Heard this rumor last week and in retrospect I'm surprised it took as long as it did. Of course we thought that the next logical step, should this happen, would be to have Burning Man on the National Mall this year. Being the first burn without a lottery for about ten years, I figure attendance shou...

Re: Law Enforcement in 2105
'had a random, charming guy converse with me one night for some twenty minutes, as happens, and I was enjoying the company until he abruptly asked me where he could "buy some molly." I made some sort of joke and he redirected his question until I let him know it was time for him to move on. He could...

Re: Lack of Art this Year
As they say...there was more art next year. I was a little snappy, probably because I worked over several months on a piece that never physically made it out there. This is, I believe, the first year that the Burning Man population didn't get bigger and maybe we are used to seeing More every year, t...

Re: Temple Burn -- one hour of silence and reverence possibl
Personally I'm so exhausted by Sunday night I am both very quiet and too tired to care what anyone else does... Part of the unique experience of Burning Man is the fact that the temple has been gifted to the playa and belongs to everybody. We are so cultured into a system of following rules it is re...

Re: Lack of Art this Year
Dude...really? Lack of art? and I suppose there wasn't enough amazing tits, free music and drinks for you out there either. Check your entitlement meter before you post a diss on the artists that sweat blood out there and max out their credit cards. Venting aside...this year felt like it was about c...

Zum I'm a perennial lurker but since you're a newbie I'm compelled to reply. If you are expecting to have a good time at The Burning Man you might want to reconsider the trip. If you are the kind of person that has a good time no matter where they go then you might be okay. Seeing that you are getti...

Nice post bunny dude but I worry about what I didn't hear and that is how you are gonna get out (or further in) of your suit and become part of playa next time instead of observing it. In retrospect, the best experience I had my first time was helping a theme camp breakdown all day Monday. Sweat and...

I thought this was one of the quietest years ever, almost too quiet- way fewer of the smaller rave camps in the 'burbs and fewer art cars roaming around.
