Uhhhhh...........Isn't Burning Man a LLC now?? I'm not completely sure on their business status BUT someone is making a lot of money here and I'm not saying that is wrong either. As far as the scalpers go that category would probably include a lot of BM participants i.e. people who purchased more ti...

Okay, so the current premium is $200 above the highest priced tier. Given the situation of so many people not winning the lottery that premium isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Consider what the average person will spend at buring man (transportation, supplies, BM extras, ect ect) and the curre...

Okay, so I didn't get a ticket in the lotto which isn't too surprising given the math (over 150,000 registered). Stubhub has tickets starting at $625 which is $235 more than the highest priced tier (not that bad when you think about it). I'm thinking the secondary market will be very big b/c so many...

It's pretty obvious that a lot of people purchased extra tickets and when those tickets eventually hit the market (and they will) the price should come down a bit. I wouldn't be surprised to see tickets in the 450-550 range...........maybe less if more potential buyers become discouraged which is al...

ctys20 -- I'm not certain that the original poster was talking about being homeless in the city, it sounded more like going and living in the wild (as in "Into the Wild", but without the starving to death stranded in a remote part of the world.) Moving to an off-grid community was suggested as an a...

There is a burner who bought up 100 acre's and is inviting any and all burners to live on the land, for a pittance of price and manual labor to make the land usable. Or just go from one piece of BLM land to another and stay the 14 day max or whenever the park ranger starts counting days.......eithe...

I think the best solution to dangerous drivers in general is for the police to write more tickets. Over 33,000 died last year on the highways and I doubt most of them were "accidents" i.e. aggressive drivers willing to take the ultimate chance for the smallest gain. What I dont understand is when th...

In this case I bet "most of the public" is just your opinion. Are you sure that most of the public doesn't despise you? They might you know. Basically just my observation. And what's with all the personal attacks on here, I thought everyone was supposed to be "enlightened" after the "burn." You sou...

Yeah, cause, damn. :? You think a simple "fuck you" is out of place yet you subscribe to economic bigotry? Sumpin' wrong there, buddy... First of all I never said the public's perception was right or ethical. I'm just stating facts that apparently MANY people aren't acknowledging. As for this FU st...

So that makes it OK to label all homeless people as bums... If a person is really homeless and the worst thing that happens to them is being called a "bum" then by god they would be extremely fortunate. If you're homeless you are already an outlaw - engaging in behavior that is illegal. I wouldn't ...

Having been briefly homeless before, I think that anyone who automatically puts "Homeless" and "Bum" into the same catagory needs to lose a job they left the military for due to 'unannounced' corporate bakruptcy after a divorce that costs you approx. $1300 a month in court ordered alimony and see i...

Not all bums are homeless.
And, to my knowledge, the org does not reject bums. Or homeless people.

What's the real answer? Could a REAL homeless person attend BM? Of course not.

Keep in mind even a "dead" car has value. I sold an 18 year old toyota truck with a burned out engine (278k miles) for $700 at auction. The junk yard offered $50. Some people are really good at popping in new engines/transmissions ect. Craigslist has quite a few ads for burned out cars in that price...

This is one of the more interesting subjects - and like burning man itself is just unrealistic (non monetary system operating inside a for profit corp). The "drop out" I think you are referring to is called a bum, a homeless person, the same person who is rejected by this org (for profit LLC) called...
