it would be something to see, for sure! but the desert in the middle of summer would be tough. plus i heard that you have to bring all you need for the week (water food weed booze). from the videos i have seen you would not need the weed or much booze, but water is a must. i would sure love to be able to say that i have been there, evan if it was only for a little while.

I heard that the tickets to get in were a shit load of money.
I was planning on making a trip to experience it because it's one of the last years they are doing it. The lease on the land is running out is what I was told.

With expensive tickets and so many people they can't renew the lease?

I'd really like to go. Looks like quite the experience, even if, so I hear, it's kinda strayed from the original prestige it once had.

Anyone spare $300 for a ticket to hang out with a bunch of privileged hipsters in the desert.
It used to be FREE!
Come to the Rainbow Gather in Washington !!!

Yeah I really don't think it's worth going to. It's come so far from what is was originally ment to be that it's just fucking useless now.
FOLK LIFE IN SEATTLE! At the end of May, it's probably one of the better festivals out there.

I'd like to go, but the $300 price tag is a bit prohibitive. Plus the cost to get the bus out there, supplies, etc...

Fortunately, what most people don't know is that there is a series of "regional" burning man events that are more intimate but still a crazy awesome time (from what I've heard). Austin has one in the summer, and I've herd that it's one of the biggest regionals they have. It still costs money, but I think it's only 75 bucks, so I'll probably give it a whirl and let y'all know how it is.

I'd rather chew off my own right arm than go hang out with a bunch of rich hipsters while they pretend they're artsy and creative.

Can someone actually provide some evidence that this is true? I'm tired of people just saying this having never even been anywhere near there. It would be nice to get an opinion or report back from someone that has actually attended.

Enough said. You don't have to go to Burning Man to know exactly what types of people go there.

just because its a different culture than your own hardly makes it conclusive proof of hipsterdom.

I'd rather go and experience it for myself, rather than listen to someone else and possibly miss out on something I may really like. That goes for anything, not just burning man.

I used to say "Fuck that I will never pay shit tons of money to hangout in the desert with a bunch of rich assholes" but I plan to try to attend this year to see for myself how it really is. Especially since I've met a lot of really badass people in the last year who arent rich, hipster kids that really enjoy going to burning man.

Low-income tickets are $160.
You have to be insane to go. Those people have no sense of reality.
I'm sure they die all the time trying to stop chemtrails or meditating too hard.
