I learned of Burning Man about 15 years ago and had my chance to go back in my Tahoe days but anymore I just don't think I have the energy. Reading the Slate article on it today made me wish I'd gone. This video might actually get me to change my mind and go. But for now that Bunker Hill rave or Fremont will be the closest thing to this I'll get. Maybe they could have Raining Man out at Chiniak and Dustin Hoffman could be the Grand Marshall.
For the last few years, my friend has been trying to convince me to join her group at Burning Man. It's a place where you can express yourself freely. A mix of people gather in harmony in ways that could never exist off the playa. Creativity abounds, oftentimes birthed from an abundance of sex and drugs (order unimportant).
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, I get it. On the other, I totally don't. Which means, for now, I will continue to appreciate it from afar.
Some cool rides and some cute girls, but you know the rides would eventually maim you and the girls probably smelled like Gibson Cove in late August.
