The attendees are loving it. They know this will happen every year and consider a part of the experience. Thank the Lord, once again poverty has saved me.
A former coworker, a guy in his 60s, was a diehard burner. It was the high point of his year. Even when I was young, I wouldn’t have wanted to get within 100 miles of that mess for free, much less pay hundreds of dollars to go there.
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.
Hahahahahahahaha!
