I bet the cloud of patchouli oil scent is visible from space.

Do they even know what that CO2 is going to do? They're literally killing us all.

they got stuck in the mud? Hell, that's every southern festival.


I just had a picture in my head of this freak show contrasted with SEWE here in Charleston

I bet burning man doesn't even have dogs high jumping into pools. Lame.

Imagine the aroma! Even if all of those practiced decent hygiene but you know the vast majority do not.

went in 04 and 05. It’s indescribable but the ticket prices and popularity among lefty billionaires has ruined it.


I thought no money changed hands? It says so in the article

I know someone who is an every year burner. He just had a kid so I’m curious to see if he goes this year and takes his new born because honestly it would shock me. It’s basically exactly what you think it is. I’d probably go once just to say I did it if I got the right kind of invite.

My brother in law goes every year. Sounds like a blast to me. I have always wanted to go.
I’m always on turnaround that time of year.
The big reason I can’t is the hair drug test at work! No way I’m going pass after that party.

They mean inside the actual festival, like vendors etc.

Which is also bullshite. There's an ice truck that sells ice, the only thing for sale there when I went.

Tickets in 05 were, wait for it - $350.

I seriously looked at going for a couple years, but the caustic dust everywhere turned me off.

A fortune 500 corporate executive that is a client of my company goes every year. I was blown away once he opened up to us and showed us the pictures. I'm talking VP Real Estate big wig suit wearing executive from NorCal.

Dude and his other executive friends give free tattoos and host drugged our raves every year. They've built a 2 story building they disassembled at the end and bring back every year. I used to think it was just hippies until he told me how much money people spend to just go there and be a part of the "city" and how much people provide free services.

No one really cares about Burning Man. It’s just a week long frick fest for trust fund babies to feed their addiction.

And I think you can only get that $575 ticket if you're volunteering for pre-post work.

BTW, I checked. I was wrong. They were $250.

I just have no interest in doing drugs and shitting in the desert.
