For the first time in the event's 25-year history, tickets to Burning Man have sold out. With more than a month left to go before the gates to Black Rock City open at midnight on Aug. 28, burners have already started a mad scramble for spare tickets through various message boards and online networks.

(I’ve talked to a few of the original freaks, and some up-and-coming freaks of the newer generation, and they all consider Burning Man to be a huge capitalist sell-out.

But that begs the question: Where do the genuine counter-culture freaks go now...? )

Actually, two of the freaks have registered on Free Republic as Flycatcher and Disambiguator

Crashing burning man is difficult. You have to make your approach over more than a mile of alkali flats. They can see you coming even at night.

At which point, the Burning Man security force snipers quickly dispatch you.

Close. They have very good security and support of two Sheriff's Depts. They can(and have) charged people with trespassing.

This is a pagan/Satanic ritual just as was in ancient times in the ME and Europe: No Thanks!

Actually, it’s a Rave to end all Raves. If you want to do dope, dance and party for 3 days......you get a ticket to Burning Man.

Today, two tickets to Burning Man were sold on Ebay for over ten thousand dollars.

They register as Republicans and support the Tea Party. “

Good point. The real free thinking creative people are conservatives.
Liberals are robots.

I lived there at the time and don't recall being invited.

Isn’t the “Burning Man” just a preview of afterlife attractions?

[joelt]

Burning Man was a festival of anarchists, nihilists and freaks. But then got too organized. Didn’t someone burn the burning man way ahead of the “schedule” to protest the schedule?
