BM illusions are funny. Don't buy the hype (Leave no trace/radical free expression). hahahahaha.
Too many people were walking/biking across the playa without water, looking like zombies.
30,000+ people isn't amazing. Any given Sunday more than 30,000 pack a stadium. And yes, there are "festivals" around the world similar to bm. Or is it that bm is similar to them?
The best thing about bm is the people, the regular folk, why they come/came from and where they're going.
