...when people ask you about Burning Man you get that glow, your heart swells, visions appear before your eyes and suddenly you can smell the dust again, but what you say is: "It really sucks, don't go."

I haven't gone that far yet, but, oh I have been tempted... :oops:

. . . When digging at random through your desk, you find your temporary I.D. from the last time you renewed your driver's license, and it's cause for celebration . . .

Expendable I.D.!!

In 2012:

When you're coming home from BRC and get pulled over, you've got the ID, license and registration; you keep your meds (and original prescription bottles) in plain sight, and you bust the cop for profiling.......

In 2013:

When you're coming home from BRC and you get pulled over, and the cop asks why you're going so slow, and you say, "We're in a work zone, why were you speeding?" and he lets you go as he's clueless.

or, simply when you learn that you have rights that you can assert in the face of pathetic attempts to profile you and bust you.

Also,

1.When you look at anything in Defaultia and say,

"Oh, that's so last year.........."


2.When you know what 'playadipity' is.......

3. When you prefer Radio Electra or Radio Free Burningman to BMIR.

4. When you stay at camp to watch everybody's stuff because you think the main burn blows, but the Temple is important. <<<REALLY burnier-than-thou stays at camp during both.

Just don't go to the Grand Sierra after the Burn unless you want to deal with Douchecompression. Daytime is okay, night-time feels like being in the middle of the nastiest "Hipper-Than-Thou" Burning Man Pose-Off. I'm trying very hard not to judge how people Burn, but that doesn't mean I want to spend a night in a hotel full of them once I'm off-playa...

Black Rock Weekly could do a review of hotel/casino decompressions.

Or not.

They're more concerned with what's hot and what's not. Now the Black Rock Beacon might handle such an article. You'd have to ask Mitch.
