The Burning Man 2020 festival has been canceled -- the latest large-scale event to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic.

Organizers of the Burning Man Project, the group that brings the annual arts and music festival to northern Nevada's Black Rock Desert, made the announcement on its website and social media accounts.

The week-long event was scheduled for Aug. 30 through Sept. 7. It will now move online only, organizers said.

Awwwww. No odors of patchouli oil and playa dust from the Black Rock Desert wafting around Reno. It will be a big revenue loss for the city though. The 'burners' are whining already.

It seems like the sort of thing that would be hard to appreciate “virtually.”

How do you do a virtual orgy?

On a side note, this has to be killing business at the Mustang ranch.

Just watch, soon....they will make a huge breakthrough in VR. Possibly entry level Ready Player One...
And.. if this virus issues continues year after year who knows, maybe even Star Trek quality Holo Decks.
Put the entire world behind a singular purpose, and anything can happen.

Will they be watching a rerun of the burning Yule log on the Hallmark channel? and how will they know that it is a rerun?

You need to set your permissions first.

Are they going to mail the drugs to people with their packets so that it can be a real 'experience'?

“Arts & Music festival???

It is a DRUGS/SEX/DRUGS/SEX festival.

Any other description is a hoax.

The following is my own opinion:

The young women of the 60s were...sorry to say, not too bright. Just coming of age where they were making their own decisions and they were easily influenced. Hence, the rise in convincing women that free sex was “freeing” because they didn’t realize that men had been trying for centuries to convince women that being modest was WEIRD and casual sex, living together were men’s dreams for so long. For guys, it was a dream come true.

What is surprising is that with the education of females, and exposure to the down side of casual sex, there are many of our intelligent, sophisticated, street-wise women who still buy the belief, thereby, even today you have:

DRUGS/SEX//DRUGS/SEX/

It’s amazing.
