"Burning Man" is; giving people permission to dream the impossible is possible

The magical phrase "for Burningman" will make anything possible

Well isn’t that just super special.
Hey I dream of a day when the borg won’t have their noses so far up the plug and plays arseholes...letting them get away with shit behavior

And sadly, the limits of many people’s dreams begin and end with a sound system blaring shitty EDM. And Coachella feathers.

I gave myself permission to start a commie party thanks to Burning Man

Actually, there is some basis for saying that they do give people permission to dream and even more so, create. I met my true love there and we've just celebrated our 11th burn together. And when we saw the great art and MV's that people had made we actually said, "why don't we try to make some art ourselves?" And we did. The first few years were interesting but we got better and better. And we have enjoyed some modest success from our art. Burning man has been incredible in supporting that growth, through honorariums and contacts with public art outside the playa where we could exhibit. I've always said that BM has given permission for ANYONE to try to create art, and they let you exhibit the biggest gallery in the world. I do get the criticism. But I don;t want that to overshadow all that the Org does. In my opinion, they are pretty good.
