Several family members and a couple of friends are there now. I couldn't get away this year, I do plan on going next year.

I have been twice and had a great time. It all depends on who you are going with. Having a good group to run with helps. I was planning on going this year but life go in the way and I had to choose between burning man and a trip to Aguazu falls in September. Given the wife's airline ticket, hotel and food are covered by her work (citrus conference) for most of the trip..... I am going to Brazil and Argentina.

I am planning on going next year. It could be fun to camp together as a group.

It is a blown out rich yuppie fest, 10 years ago it was something. You are better off setting up camp somewhere in the desert with a group of friends and setting some shit on fire. Eat some mushrooms, roll a few burning tires down some hill, etc.

I was headed out into the desert on Monday and it was a Parade of Hoopty motorhomes headed to Burning Man. Next Monday they will be coming back and look like they got flour bombed.


I have always wanted to go. I would have had a good time in the past, but I don't think I would enjoy it now. It went from my Bucket List to my Fuckit List. :D

I have never had the desire to go. I have a lot of friends here that make the trek out every year and have a great time.

The tickets start off at ~$400 at about 6 months til they jump too about $1200. Its also like $ 100 for your car. Looked hard into going a few years back with my gf, it was going to be like 1500 for tickets. No thanks.

They are bringing in millions no doubt.

That's how my neighbor gets there. They sent the rv's and art cars last week and flew in his buddies plane.

Good friends of mine do communications for this. Have had many invites, but never made the trip.

"One of Burning Man's luxury camps was ransacked by vandals on Wednesday night, according to a post on the camp's Facebook page. The White Ocean camp hosts dozens of free techno-music concerts at its stage on the outskirts of the playa, while also providing lodging and food for its star-studded lineup of DJs. Sometime during or after the group's famous "white party," where ravers dress in all white, vandals entered the camp. They allegedly pulled and cut electric lines, causing food to spoil, stole personal belongings, glued trailer doors shut, and flooded the camp with 200 gallons of potable water, the Facebook post from Thursday reported. "We have felt like we've been sabotaged from every angle, ..."
-Yahoo News

Wonder if the Vandals found the heroin needles?

Why a "luxury camp" exists among a bunch of hippies is beyond me...
