Burning Man Cancels 2021 Event at Black Rock Desert

Ever since their 2020 event was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Burning Man Project has spent months debating whether they could safely hold a gathering at Black Rock Desert in 2021. Today, they announced the the answer is no.

Burning Man revealed that despite the restrictions lifting across the United States as vaccination becomes more widespread, they will not hold their yearly event until 2022. A statement released through their website explained the decision:

Advertisement "Humanity is experiencing collective trauma that is unprecedented in recent times, and while for some returning to Black Rock City may feel like 'the answer,' there is very real rebuilding and healing that needs to be done before returning full force to the desert. The physical, psychic, and emotional impacts of this pandemic are real and the recovery from this experience will happen at different rates of speed. This is the time to gather with our friends, crews, families and communities."

“Humanity is experiencing collective trauma.”

True. American Election theft in November 2020 is very traumatic.

Burning man has excellent leadership and administration in San Francisco and I trust they made a prudent decision. Of course, I think Burning Man is 100% boring.

Burning Man = poor, dusty excuse for hook-up weekend = COVID insurance = can’t get it = CANCELLED.

The cancellation did provide an excellent opportunity for some virtue signalling, so there is that.

Looks like the would be participants will have to smoke their weed elsewhere. Do their random Coupling elsewhere. Do their LDS micro-dosing elsewhere. Perhaps top of Mount Tamalpais?

I can go out to the desert, get nekkid, paint myself blue, and get waisted without the consent of Ticket Tron.

I’ve never been there, but I doubt anyone is charging there.
