BRC won't rise from the dust this year, but maybe this video can take you back home for a few minutes. Hope you enjoy!

We Started The Fire - a song and video about Burning Man
I rewrote Billy Joel's, "We Didn't Start The Fire" to be all about Burning Man and its history up until now, roughly, had someone who can sing record it, and made a video out of it with the help of many, many people's photos and video. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/5rtM95aWuOo Annotated lyrics and credits...

Weirdout Wednesday - Keeping Burning Man Weird
Wrote a little article about our camp's attempt to get Weirdout Wednesday going, by heading to Distrikt in adult diapers and photobombing Instamodels.

Re: "Burning Man's Culture is in Danger"
If BMORG is straight up saying that they want fewer frat bros and woo girls out there, then they should stop providing services that make it really easy for unprepared people to attend Burning Man, or easy for camps to provide services for people who want to buy the experience. Stop the Burner Expr...

Re: "Burning Man's Culture is in Danger"
Yeah, that's something that's been kicked around here that I probably should have mentioned. Ticket resale outside of STEP needs to be gone. Tickets need to be made non-transferable. If you can't go, then sell the ticket back to the Org at face value minus a few bucks for administrative fee so it c...

A visit to Fly Ranch (and a request for feedback!)
I had the opportunity to visit Fly Ranch during the Burn this year, and put together an article on it with pics and video.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on what we could do with the ranch!

Re: Vandals Strike 2016 Sound Camp Infrastructure
I would probably be marginally disappointed if the big sound camps went away, but they are such a small part of the burn for me that their disappearance wouldn't make me reconsider my decision to attend even for a second. Getting rid of plug n' plays wouldn't get rid of all the sound camps, just on...

Re: Vandals Strike 2016 Sound Camp Infrastructure
I don't think that what's going on will continue much longer. The glitteratti will find a new "thing" to throw money at. Others will tire of the the event itself for all kinds of reasons and stop coming. Numbers will dwindle. 5-6 years from now we'll be back to 40-50 thousand people who just LOVE t...

I really liked David Bowie & wish I could have been there this year. I don't know if he ever went to the Playa but I suspect he would have enjoyed it.
I'm pretty sure he never went, but I certainly agree.

Totally agree with you trilobyte! I hope that the BMorg changes this in years to come so it is no longer an outlet to potentially have people abuse. No reason for people to be buying several presales and main sale tickets as well. Radical Self-reliance! The BMORG isn't interested in radical self-re...
