    Dudes, this is my safe space so I'm gonna have at it. I'm sick and tired of hearing/seeing aboot Burning Man. Like, I read the 'community principles' or whatever...one of them is 'radical self-reliance'...as if these khunts could live a year in the desert without external support. They probly barely make the seven days.


    Just so ghey. All these khunts parading around like a bunch o' queer baits, wearling scarves claiming enlightenment.

    I'm sure there's some righteous crackers there, and I'm sure the claims of it being cooler in the past have some veracity.

    You want 'enlightenment'? '5 dried grams in silent darkness' or 3 proper hits without your 'squad' to post aboot it.

    Now in all reality aside from putting a stick up me arse all that doesn't even bother me, I say, que sera sera(sp?).

    My beef really is, the desert would be so much better off with out all this!

    And stanky, I'm with you...the only way out is to build something better. That I'm convinved of now. But this is not it imo, this is unsustainable. Ok, rant over.

    Thoughts?

    A bunch of my friends go, and they seem to have a good time. They'll also be the first to tell you that some "burners" take that **** wayyyyyy to serious.

    From what it sounds like, its just a bunch of good music, and the a lot of the art exhibits are pretty sweet. Enlightenment? Nah... But getting ****ed up on yacht cruising past art exhibits in the middle of the desert sounds pretty cool to me.

    Kinda like a millenials version of Woodstock. Without the epic music. And mud.

    91 and 92 were great. Great Woods in MA where I went was pretty thoroughly trashed because there was a gen admission lawn in the back and people tore **** up back there and huge chunks of sod were just pelting down into the seats during the later hours.

    Hilarious looking at it now that Pearle Jame was sixth billed below Ministry, Soundgarden, Ice Cube, J+M Chain.

    No, very much the Gen X Woodstock. The millenials' Woodstock was probably a snapchat by a Kardahsian.

    Music is usually best loved by the generation that lived it. Your epic music includes Joan Baez, Ravi Shankar and Joe Cocker, mine doesn't but my opinion doesn't detract from yours of course.

    Burning Man = no ocean. It's a friggin' desert. It's totally the antithesis of surfing. To hell with that. Now, Drowning Man, maybe we got something there.

    burning man is like $500 a ticket.

    nobody paid $500 a ticket to get to woodstock...

    edm music is not what i equate with getting weird and sticky in the desert.

    partially true story:

    my current female, of whom i have posted pictures and thus she is real, is known forever as the Vessel of Young Two Barrels, or just "The Vessel", or just "The V"... When I met her she def had a touch of waspy party girl. Cool AF, PhD and smart, but def a millennial mid/late 20s chick. Taken a selfie or 2, dig? Def on first date she met me at my mountain stronghold and got blackouts and spend the night and next. Anyway sheet went from 0 to serious pretty quick in a few weeks as she quit her $100k+ job to go to Costa Rica for a multitude of weeks with me. I was like, "I'm moving out of the mountains to a beach TBD, but not before spending a month surfing elsewhere. You're welcome to join." And she did. (prob not that smart after all) But at the time she actually pointed out that she had Coachella tickets for the next year and she wasn't going to miss that. Waspy, like "this is like rally important to me any my girlzzzz that we do thas." And that type of logic disgusts me a lil. So I knocked her up. Partly to prove a point and make her miss Coachella. So she missed Coachella. The end.
