OT: who's been to/going to Burning Man?

That previous OT topic about the concerts prompted this thread.

Burning Man may be about as far a scene from card collecting as you can get, but I wonder how many of us have been there? And if you have, surely there's a story worth sharing. Or maybe not.

I've gone once, and I can't wait to return!

(Coming soon...end of August!)

    never been, ut considered it, but also since i'm an east coast person i found ways to rationalize not going.

    share stories, but keep them pg-13 for some of the others on here image

    Yeah I'm pretty certain there couldn't be a more opposite endeavor to the culture of this board than Burning Man. Or as Dean Wormer might say "Drugged, Naked and Muddy is no way to go through life..."

    Never heard of this ... just spent about 20 minutes reading about it on the Internet. Sounds like a friggin crazy time. So you pay $390.00 to hang out with 30,000 strangers for the week? Doesn't seem like they give you anything for the $390.00. How about a WILD guess ... a FEW drugs and maybe one or two coktails (hahaha ... had to spell it this way) during the week? LOL

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Heck, that's not much compared to the Badwater Ultramarathon - Pay $995 to run 135 miles through Death Valley! You also need to assemble a crew, get tons of supplies, a support Van, etc. And you better start planning many months in advance!
