COULDN’T PAY ME $1 MILLION TO GO THERE.

LOVED THE WAY THE PAIUTE TRIBAL POLICE HANDLED A GROUP LAST YEAR THAT BLOCKED THE ONLY HIGHWAY IN/OUT.

It's interesting, though, that Burning Man gate receipts are in the tens of millions of dollars each year. I wonder where it all goes.

Considering 1 person and their vehicle cost $800, I'm not surprised they make that much. The Burning Man Board purchased Fly Ranch and Fly Geyser and are supposed to be using it for Burning Man in the future but even by their own admission, that's a “long term goal”. Probably won't happen in my lifetime but for the time being, access to Fly Ranch and geyser is non-existent. I've never been to Burning Man and never will but I do have some friends that have gone. Once was enough for them, LOL.

Yeah, that video was a lot of fun! I’ll see if I can find it.

that’s a pretty impressive line up.
1st big show I went to was in 1980, I was 17 and it was at Bingley Hall in Staffs, England and a 2 hour train ride from where I lived. It was a day long metal fest that started early after noon and went on for about 12 hours. Motorhead was the headlining act, but Saxon put on the best show.
Didn’t get home till about 8am the next morning

Here you go. 16 minutes of schadenfraude! WARNING: Language.

(Paiute) Rangers show up at about 9:30 and hilarity ensues. Enjoy!

I was at the Bull Island Soda Pop festival, until Fyre came along, the worst festival in history. At least we didn’t pay like the suckers at Burning Man.

Every year it's always something with those hippies.

Nah, there's no hippies at Burning Man these days. They've been priced out of it.

Mostly tech bros and Instagram influencers.
