i'll get some pics up soon. one of the most interesting events i've been to. very much without agenda. i needed it...was feeling low.
its not a cheap trip to make - but it is as or more amazing than i had imagined. 40,000 people in the middle of the Nevada salt flats. A visual spectacle that rivals Las Vegas and Times Square. Barely a piece of trash in sight...a napkin looks bizzarely out of place...and no trash cans at all. Ravers, hippies, frat boys, musicians, construction workers, fisherman from Alaska, old school intellectuals, Larry Hagman (no shit), congressmen and women. Nothing is sold except for coffee in the morning...everything else is given as a gift. banana pancakes, beer, CD's, shirts. this is no hippie-dippie commune. it is modern, electrified, bizarre...full of oxymorons. it never felt weird or forced or dangerous, which was suprising to this eternal skeptic. |

sniffles.
always make plans for it. and they always fall through. glad someone went. eta- next time you are in Sea. in the spring/summer, head to gasworks park. you will almost always find people practicing their routines, pre-building, etc. Last edited by amanda : 09-07-2005 at 04:47 AM. |

**** In other news, I'm seriously jealous. In college I majored in art, and going to Burning Man was every student's dream. Unfortunately, that's quite a long drive from Oklahoma, and flying in is too difficult, what with all the equipment you need. Someday. |
