The Man

Costumes in tow, a keg in the shower and micro-soft white sand, I had arrived at Burning Man in Black Rock City Nevada. Structures of creativity erected in honor of all that is rebellious, deafening sound systems and the independent feeling of a gift economy all culminated from years of flame-throwing, gun poppin’ survivalists joining forces in the desert. Jolly Roger duct tape, monster slippers and a willingness is all you need...oh yes, and a bit of adventure never hurts. Any desire to lose your top and go for a bike ride?

Burn Much?

The more someone tells me, “You absolutely HAVE to go to Burning Man, you’ll love it!” the more I don’t want to go. Being told what I will and will not love before I have had a chance to decide is my least favorite qualm. So I finally went. Yes it kicks ass and no, I did not HAVE to go, I chose to go. Although I haven’t gone in a few years I highly recommend it to any artistic survivalists.
