Yeah, Burning Man would be pretty cool if it weren't for all the people.

So, I'm, a gigantic asshole?

wouldn't that boat have been a lot more useful if it was built in some water

5 for being a completely awesome installation

I've never met you, Aelric.

I want to like them and I want to go some day. I fear I won't like them and I'll be able to only last about five minutes before fagging out and ditching for a buffet in Reno.

To each his own, I guess. Why someone would want to visit this streak of overhyped burnout is beyond me. Cool boat bro

The hate given to Burning Man is a little disproportionate considering there are multiple subcultures represented and encouraged there, including what I'd can a critical, PoETV sort of culture ( and it's a culture, I've been on this site every day for 6 years, I'm not gonna pretend it isn't.). White dred hippies are one thing, and honestly, they are not the only ones there. Hell, they are the end of the week crowd. If you tried it, I bet you anything, you'd like it. I went expecting to hate it, dragged there by friends almost literally, and I ended up having a better time than those that had a positive expectation. Just saying, maybe see for yourself, not just a few youtube videos.

Just talking to personal experience. What might color it is that I've never lived west of New Orleans, so the people whom I've known who go to BM are the kind of people who can take off work for 2+ weeks and fly across the country to hang out at a cash-free utopia: i.e, rich, dilletantish pricks.

That, Billy, is a damn fair point.

This.

He was busy hanging out at the Thunderdome, because yes, there is a Thunderdome at the Burn.

Yes, it would.

It's pretty fucking awesome. This was my fifth year.

Didn't mean to star my own video. Le shame.
