Full title: Enter the Thunderdrome: Inside the world's largest post-apocalyptic festival where thousands of Mad Max fans gather in the desert

What are you doing this weekend?

[Regulator]

SoCal version of Burning Man...

Bloody nuts. I thought the mad max world was a hellish vision of the future, not something to seek out.

I do not quite get the modern habit of young folks wanting to live in an imaginary world. Kind of like the comic-cons, where thousands of folks show up dressed up like super heros.

What is it with this need to escape reality, it seems so different from the world I grew up in, and I am 52.

I guess every generation has a hard time understanding the ones coming after.

Now that’s a single property convention I could support.

[Boogieman]

It’s “Thunderdome” not “Thunderdrome” :P

What are you doing this weekend?

Going camping with my Trail Life Scout troop. So, just like this, but without the cars.

I'm just kidding, of course.

Barely.

[mumblypeg]

Of interest to preppers? If for no other reason than to see how ferals view, and prepare for, the apocalypse.
Get my ‘69 El Camino tricked out with a rocket launcher, and I’ll be there. LOL

[Vince Ferrer]

They should move it to Venezuela.

[justa-hairyape]

Ah yes. The restaurant at the end of the universe. Coming soon to a kitchen near you.

Has some explicit language, but pretty sweet video here. First two minutes is another song of theirs, so start at 2min to avoid the language:

Five Finger Death Punch - House Of The Rising Sun

Sounds worth a trip if at least a portion of them look like Arkie Whiteley from the second movie.
