Yup. The burners are out of town but they'll be back starting next weekend. For an event that celebrates burning "THE MAN" and eschewing capitalism be tryng to be "cashless" at the event. nobody finds it odd that silly cone valley execs appear, fly in, have million dollar travel busses etc. Not only that, someone was trying to sell 3 passes and 3 parking permits the other day for face value of $4,500. And we wonder why there are some many burners with signs after the event looking for money or rides to get back to where the came from. Burn baby burn. I suppose we'll see a report on "celebrity" sightings later in the week. Groovy man........

“Off”spring it looks like. Although we do know some folks who attend and have for years.

Burning Man sounds like fun.
Always wished I had gone when I was younger.
I hope they all have a good time.

Then you never will. Just them bein’ themsleves. Or something. Not my scene man. LOL! But, at those prices, even for the cheap tickets (of which there aren’t many), someone is makin’ some money after expenses. HUH? Oh, advertising and such? Fees to BLM? Fees to the county? Fees to LEO? Just as long as nobody get too damaged physically.

How can Liberals celebrate when people are suffering in Texas?
To: wyowolf
It’s about radical self expression (unless your expression offends a Leftist, then it’s banned).

It’s what they do. Lucky for them the playa dried out after the wet winter here. A couple months ago there was 9 inches of standing water out there.

I used to go every year to meet with folks in tech and engineering. We would have talks, workshops and demos. Lots of blasts, lasers, music and vehicles intertwined with the most adventurous people on Earth.
Burning Man is about trying new things with as few nanny state rules
and lawyers as possible. While fully respecting your neighbors. It was once an atmosphere of so much respect that I didn’t see a single scrap of trash or verbal altercation. I walked barefoot the entire time.
Yes, the EDM/Raver crowd has recently taken over and polluted the place. With trash and commercial camps. Us old timers keep in touch and will be back as soon as it’s not “cool” anymore
