I’ve been DJing at Burning Man for years..it is mostly libs but I have run into a few conservatives like myself out there. The camp I stay with is run by the founder of Monster.com, so yes there is big money out there...I have met the google founders there as well.
It really is a unique event unlike anything else in the world.
Met a photographer last year who turned out to be a supply side Econ professor. Had a nice convo over lunch with his wife. Lots of wannabe hippies indeed, but more artists and mad scientists, which is more the point. Where do you spin?
