Haha! Cool video. That certainly captures some of the elements of BMAN that few people talk about.

The best advice anyone ever gave me about BMAN was said to me six years ago when I stepped out of my car onto the playa for the first time. We arrived to the queue early in the morning before sunrise. After hours of being on the road, I stepped out of the car and looked down at the think dusty playa. The winds were calm at the time. The ground felt like I was standing on a few inches of talc. I remember thinking... this feels like what I imagine the surface of the moon must be like.

My friend (with several burns under his belt) just smiled and said... "Learn to love the dust".

He certainly wasn't kidding. I've passed that advice on to every virgin we've taken.
