You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

What is burning Man? I know it’s a festival of some sorts that’s done in a desert, but that’s about all I know.
What happens there?
Rich people travel 1000+ kilometres to gather around and pretend to be not rich and just like common folks! This is my understanding as someone who isn’t american.
Also drugs. Lots of drugs.
Also sex. dusty, dusty sex
Call me Boba Fett because I’m about to enter your sarlacc pit.
That’s what it is today. Use to be more underground and subversive, even if it took money to be involved.
Id say for the past ten years, it’s been a rich person’s fantasy of poor hippy lifestyle
It’s trying to recreate the glorified vision of Woodstock but with more drugs and more money
Burning Man was an amazing event when I stumbled across it on the internet in the late 90’s. I must have been 14 or 15, it used to be a real “go experience, experiment and find yourself” setting. It’s since gone the way of SXSW. It totally goes against what it was intended for.
Burning Man is a festival celebrating creative expression. No one there is pretending to not be rich
Yeah a lot of them stopped pretending.
Lol this thread is so weird. I have several friends who attend. Exactly zero of them could be considered “rich.” Artsy hippie types, sure, but lmao not rich.
idk people here think being rich means you need to own a yatch…
Watch Malcolm In The Middle, season 7 episode 1 “Burning Man”. It’ll give you a fair approximation.
Love that episode, my personal highlight, cracks me up every time.
Good stuff. Thanks
That winnebago has seen some shit.
I think they set somebody on fire every year.
They have a lottery every year for it, it’s part of the thrill. Party likes it’s your last day on earth, because it might be.
Based as all hell
