There used to be only two principles for Burning Man.
* Hedonism.
* Do not harm another.
Burning Man ain’t a social Justice thing.
Burning Man? I’ll be (not) burning burgers and hot dogs this weekend..
I’m thinking of setting up a booth on the perimeter next year. I’ll sell Valtrex and penicillin.
I guess I don’t see much difference between this “event” and pagan “festivals” like Walpurgis Night or Saturnalia. Give the attendees some coarse robes and put them at Stonehenge, and this could be something right out of a Druid’s wet dream.
You will want to sell more than that.
Condoms, weed, ecstasy, and DMT?
The Left has ruined it, like they have everything else.
sounds like a good (possibly Divine) idea?

oops, wrong thread, sorry
Burning man is even more boring now....
Soooo, losing one’s self in something like Burning Man is going to help everybody find each other in the same Lost and Found? If I thought I was hopelessly lost in the world I think I might go to one of these things. I’d probably be looking for something “supernatural” about it and not know whether I was still lost or not when it’s time to go home.
What? The aging hippies at Burning Man forgot to do a special memorial of the 50th of Woodstock?
Is nothing sacred?
;^)
Woodstock was not supernatural. It just rained like hell.
>The Left has ruined it, like they have everything else.
Got that right. No one is better then sucking the fun out of things than the left. I’m just sayin’
But weren’t/aren’t both of them major countercultural events?
BTW, every now and then I do see aging hippies, some are couples, others ponytailed loners of indeterminate sex. Talk about age-inappropriate clothing, & beards that look dangerous around machinery!
I’m their age & Vietnam vet, FWIW. But I still shave most mornings, get a haircut monthly, no tatts or metal, and am known to go out in public wearing slacks w/sox & shoes, dress shirt, & a sport coat. Voted for Trump, too.
Guess I represent the new counterculture.
;^)
“Guess I represent the new counterculture.”
Me too!
Reserved camp space is marked on the playa with blue survey flags. Some of these plots are so large that they may appear unclaimed and available, when they actually are not. Be sure to camp outside the blue flagged zones to avoid encroaching on reserved zones and then having to relocate your camp. For walk-in camping — located between 2:00 and 5:00 — park your vehicles across L street at the flag fence, and set up your camp outside the parking flag fence. Note: Walk-in camping is for people who drove their cars into BRC but don’t camp with their cars. You still need a vehicle pass to drive in and park before carrying your gear to walk-in camping.
So there you are! Isn’t it fun being a lonely rebel?
Which means you can think for yourself.
Hope there’s enough of us to reelect PDJT.
