3. Cups of eccentric people
2. Table spoon of rainbow dust
1. 64 color box of Crayolas
4. Cloves of party tunes

There's nothing on the playa except dust, wind and dreams.

Not very original I'm sure, but after my first burn (2007) I explained it to the unaware/uninitiated (colleagues, family, and some friends abroad) as Mad Max meets the Erotic Exotic Ball, meets the Star Wars bar scene, at Woodstock, on the Moon.

Burning Man is the largest temporary synchronicity accelerator in the world.

It's like Comic Con, The Mermaid Parade, New Years and your birthday happen for a week on the moon.

Also, at Burning Man, no matter what is happening, a rave is also happening.

Also, the whole place always feels to me like what would happen if Salvador Dali drew Spongebob Squarepants.

Uh... somebody named Fuzzy (not sure) who was a nuclear mechanic on a Navy ship at some point told me, at The Heart Machine:

"BurningMan is the greatest thing I never could have imagined."

Burning man is a place where if you can imagine it, someone is building it, mixing it up, handing it out, painting it, has a camp about it, dresses like it, cooking it, teaching it, practicing it, driving around in or on it, has a crush on it, wants to sleep with it, will teach it to a group, dance with it...

A place where you feel like you're on drugs when you're sober.
