    Burning Man: Any GFY Burners Hitting It This Year?

    Two weeks till BurningMan... and I can feel the dust in my shorts already.

    Just checking in to see if any GFY'ers are making the pilgrimage. It's my first year hitting it--though I'm not sure how I've held off for so long. I'm chilling at a mostly-Canadian camp at 5:15 and Basra. If you're making the trek, come by to play the piano in the lounge or try Whack-a-Canuck--with brave humans to trounce instead of moles.

    So... Anyone? Anyone??

    I want to go at some point, but can't this or next year. Next year going to the Sturgis rally for their 75th!
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

                  A large chunk of my friends go every year, just never seems to work out time and money wise for me.

                    Sometimes... but those aren't looked at as one of the positives for some reason. They had one at a recent Burning Man-like festival. The good news is that the "participants" make their own choice.

                    This may be so. I'll try and report back, should I survive.

                      I'm not sure it's working out for me either. I've had a bunch of time off this summer already and, for a party in the desert with no REAL amenities, it's pretty pricey (okay, most of my cash is going into costumes... but whatever). But... what price can you put on the experience?? Time will tell...

                          We have a tent in a tent... there's a small shower, couches, a piano, and some other fun stuff. Zero places to dive, mind you, but plenty of sun. You should try, brother. You may just like. I'll have a full report come the Euro shows.

                            I'm a 5x burner and the experience is priceless.

                            Lots of water and sunscreen and hats! Follow the packing list diligently.

                            Enjoy!

                                And thanks for the tips. I think i have the list memorized by this point. The possibility of death tends to make me much more studious than imaginable.

                                          Yes it is made for me! I'm all about it but for some reason or another I've had other things going on. My Burning Man trip will come in time and we'll be stomping up dust like nobody's business!

                                            I've been wanting to go for years but somehow never manage. A few friends of mine go once every 2 years or so and love it.

                                              I assume I'll go again... so I look forward to it ;)

                                              Maybe we can do a mini BM at McKibbons this Thursday?? Looks like a costume night ;)

I've had a bunch of time off this summer already and, for a party in the desert with no REAL amenities, it's pretty pricey (okay, most of my cash is going into costumes... but whatever). But... what price can you put on the experience?? Time will tell...
                                                Save the money or share the wealth you would have spent , ditch the costume, your ego will thank you in the end, as will your pride. Keep Burning!

                                                  Ha! I lost my pride many moons ago! I'll see come close of celebrations if the money was ill spent. Something tells me I'll wish I spent more... ;)

                                                        Burning Man is a social experiment as much as it is anything else. My first time there was in 2003. Back then you could buy a ticket at the gate and the event never sold out. In fact, we would check the Playa Info tent once in a while to see what the population had gotten to. 2014 will be my 12th trip to Black Rock City and I've seen the evolution of the event unfold. Despite the naysayers, it has not become "too corporate" and has maintained it's core principles and appeal. It doesn't look that different except that the population has grown, the art has become more elaborate, the participants more international, and tickets harder to come by. With growth comes growing pains, and BMorg is not exempt.

                                                        2012 was the last great contribution I was a part of when we erected a seven story phallus on the esplanade, in keeping with the theme of "Fertility" that year. This year I'll be part of a much less ambitious project in Center Camp. But as always, I'm looking forward to going back to one of the most unique places you can find anywhere. One week only folks... and then gone without a trace.

                                                          I was thinking about it and then I figured id just roll around in dog shit, smoke a bowl and watch mad max movies. No, not those ones. The ones with the racist jew hater.Those are pretty good.

                                                            The commercialization of the event is something I have wondered about. Obviously, I can't compare what's to come to anything, but it's nice to hear that you don't think it's changed. As for the seven-story phallus... that's a nice piece ;) I'm pretty sure that could work every year, fertility or no! Good luck on your build this year. I'll be by to check it out... if I can figure out which one it is

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                            Burning Man is infamously difficult to describe because it is an experience that is without a good reference for most people. But to answer your question, it is a gathering of people from all over the world to one of the most god-forsaken places on the planet. An ancient dry lake bed where nothing can live. There are no plants, no animals, no bugs. It's windy, it's hot, and it's dusty. However, it IS a blank canvas upon which to build and people come there and bring their creativity with them, at their own expense. Even paying to be there. You have to provide everything you need to survive. Nothing is for sale there (except ice and a coffee/tea place in Center Cafe whose proceeds go to local charity). Money is not allowed. No vendors. No (visible) sponsors. No branding. Contrary to popular myth, it is not a barter community. It is a gift economy. You don't trade this for that, you give. And you receive. The only things provided for you are porta potties (let's face it, there's no way around that one), a center cafe where people can get coffee and shade, and the organization of the city plan which includes a hospital, a post office, a fire station, and even an airport. For one week, it is Nevada's third largest city. But, only for one week.

                                                                            Yet, the magic that is the experience of burning man is created by it's participants. It is a non-spectator event. You find your way to contribute (and trust me there are plenty of ways no matter what your personality type). Some camps spend over six-figures to bring their contribution to the city for an event they can't profit from financially.

                                                                            I've been to several festivals but never have I been to one where there are no trash cans. There are NONE at burning man. And yet, it is the cleanest "festival" I've ever attended. The degree of self-reliance and "Leave no Trace" that is part of the core principles of BMAN has created an environment that you just don't see anywhere else.

                                                                            For me, it's great to be in a place where my cell phone doesn't work (and neither does anyone elses), there is no Internet connectivity (well there is some limited but it's not part of your life and is spotty at best if it works at all), where I see no default world advertising, where I'm not getting in my car (but I might be riding a massive mutant vehicle mad-max style across the desert), where I'm not pulling out my wallet all day long, where I'm somewhat disconnected from the rest of the world for a while, all while being surrounded by some of the most creative free spirits, artists, designers, entrepreneurs, and open minded people anywhere.
