As for sound pollution issues, yeah this is the wrong thread. That topic was actually beaten (to death) a few months ago in the Experiences At Burning Man forum, you may want to go check that section out. Hopefully you also answered the call from a few months back to take that feedback survey and let Burning Man know what you think.
trilo: Let me clarify what I meant in my earlier post about the differences between the information that BMORG gave in last week's and this week's JRS about the holiday ticket. (BTW, I just went back and re-read both of those emails just to confirm that I was not crazy when I wrote my last post). In this week's JRS BMORG speaks in detail about how the extra funds raised from the holiday ticket sale will benefit the Burning Man Project. It's clear that between last week and this week the folks at BMORG saw that people were questioning both the $650 ticket price and the 3% donation figures mentioned in last week's JRS. This week's JRS went out of it's way to expand upon the limited info in last JRS about how the elevated prices of the holiday tickets would benefit the non-profit. It is that additional information that I was speaking about when I wrote my last post in this thread.
As for the "Experiences At Burning Man" thread you spoke of I added my 2 cents in a post-burn thread that was centered around the sound pollution issue I mentioned in my earlier post.
As for the feedback survey you mentioned, my brain, as usual, was soup post-burn and thus my ability to properly interface with my email was at that time was severely compromised. Honestly, I tend to not start looking at BM related email until November or December because I usually can't focus on the concept of BM for a while once I've started my personal decompression.
