The ‘69 Woodstock was rainy and muddy.

What you are describing can only happen there now by helicopter.

It won’t dry out quickly. This isn’t sand-—IT is PLAYA—
“dry lakes” material.

Pure pagan debauchery. Drugs, nudity, promiscuous sex, homosexuality. Prove us wrong. Tell us the redeeming thing that would attract a conservative.

...and not think that every purple hair kid with a nose-ring is a loser.

Problem is, most of those have their minds as closed as a steel drum.

Oh I know. It dried out a week before the event opened after the remnants of the hurricane 2 weeks ago flooded the site. It took a week to dry out and become drivable again and the event set up began again. The article said the comedian Chris Rock and a few others hicked their way out on foot to the highway about 5 miles away and were picked up. It will take helos to move anything in and out for a week. It will rain again tonight and tomorrow.

I don’t understand the conservative revulsion against the Burning Man festival. It teaches self-reliance, self-responsibility, and civic coordination. As a conservative hippie myself, this is on my bucket list.

It's Babylon.

---

It attracts salacious headlines for its appearance of iconoclastic self-indulgence – a haven for hedonists, narcissists, exhibitionists and voyeurs.

You can treat it as an eight-day ecstasy-fuelled rave, spinning to the dance music that reverberates morning, noon and night.

You can spend all week in the orgy dome – a 24-hours-a-day “sex-positive consensual space where all can love and be loved”.

That's pretty much every concert there.

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. ;)

80% rain and thunder late tonight and tomorrow. Wonder who has the towing contract. How many busses will it take to transport the burners back to Reno? DOH!

I’d be more worried about typhus and cholera. Diseases of poor sanitation. They can’t service the porta-potties. The place is a literal s**thole.

How could this happen? A small city with no actual infrastructure and no residents with skills other than getting naked and making pithy philosophical pronouncements?

>> I don’t understand the conservative revulsion against the Burning Man festival.

I do understand the progressive sexually immoral doper climatista ATTRACTION to Burning Dope Festival. Maybe that’s why I have a visceral disgust for it.

Then too, I live in the country and practice self-reliance, self-responsibility, and civic participation EVERY DAMN DAY.
