Zaphod You certainly seem to feel touchy about someone questioning the sanctity of Burning Man. Hope you you're just as full of piss and vinegar in a few years when all the domes hire bouncers, regular limosines are allowed as art cars, the bars all start a cash-only policy and the entirity of black...

This has just become another rainbow gathering.

I love you.

A village huh? I'll opt just to have the tight little village expereince minus the ticket price, trip through rural Nevada, LEOs and undercover cops. No need to stick with something just because it's supposed to be the happiest place on earth. All this stuff everyone has described for a "successful ...

while i know this makes me sound like a total bitch; if i need to bring my own friends,have shit planned out, if i need to be able to tell people i have some kind of occupation, and be careful not to go in some places because when in doubt i'm not welcome... i can sure as fuck do all that shit witho...

At the risk of sounding like some idealistic drama queen i had the notion that BRC was a place where you DIDN"T have to come with a group of friends to have a good time. I thought that was a big chunk of what made the thing so special.[/i]

This is going to take a while, you'd better get some snacks. On many occasions over the course of the past year I found myself defending BM to non-fans with every last ounce of wit and passion I had. "Oh but aren't they greedy bastards with that ticket price." And of course "They're a bunch of Nazis...

The whole reason I started this whole meme is because two weeks ago i met this burner girl with this repulsive personality and seemed to believe that BM was only for a very select group of people that did not include "fat frat boys" or "hippies." I just thought that types like her could have there o...

Funny thing RS wants to bash BM. With their affinity for plastering their covers with scantily-clad teenage, pop-wenches you'd think they'd snap up a billion shots of shirtless playa-princesses and they'd give us a 12 page story!

We have a little regional Burn at our spot in New Mexico. The place is Three-Sided Whole and the biggest event of the year is commonly referred to as "the May event." I'd been to three events previous and been very involved with the community beforehand and was egarly awaiting the big event. When it...

I think the camp needs some mantra along the lines of "we are beautiful, original, spontanious and Special." They'll need uniforms too, all clad in rainbow versions of prussian uniforms. The re-education center will program captured "spectators" that unlike a frat party, no-one gets drunk, and also ...

Whadya know, it is spelled d-e-m-a-g-o-g-u-e. You learn something knew everyday. Must incorperate more strategery when writing inflamitory posts.

I'm so sick of hearing everyone moan about the fabled "evil fat frat boys" and the "selling out of burning man" that I think it's time all these snotty whiners should start there own theme complete with a 1984-esq re-education center and "rally-car" art car with a podium for a leader to speak from a...

I'm working on a collage project and i would be very glad to have at least one negtive image from BM as a part of it. Of course, nobody usually wants to focus on anything truly negative to do with BM but such images would be so unique i think Burners would find them extremely provokative. I'm also o...

i just came to SF after the burn after having come from New Mexico because I needed a change of scenery. I have a part time right now for accomodation but I need another part time to get some cash flow. I'm inside the city at Taylor and Sutter. San Fransisco- put me to work! :D
