I can not understand it first. Maybe it is a good way to enjoy oneself. See Here

billy, you must have missed the Cellar's report on the real <a href="http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3555">burning man</a>.

These Black Rock Desert guys are just a bunch of posers.

Did any one go to, here? Please tell me it if you did. Maybe next time you can bring me.

Good links, Billy. A lot of people having fun without anyone questioning or criticizing. The desert in August can be a real challenge though.:cool:

If I thought for a second that I could tolerate the heat, I would *so* be at Burning Man sometime. What crazed, creative, balls-out function it must be!

I took a gander at those links Billy posted and I was actually expecting to see ya in one Els. I was going to ask if you had ever gone, but I decided to ask coven questions instead:biggrin: Nevada, in August, only gets to about 115F air temp. max., but I wouldn't recommend sitting on the ground. I've measured ground temps. up to 160F and that was in the late morning. Mid-day I'd definitely head to the air-conditioned RV or at least to the "Big Tent".:)

Are we having fun, yet?

I like it. But what do they eat there?

Sandwiches, most likely.

Several folks from one of the other forums I frequent went this year. If Burning Man is anything like I've been told, there is little possibility that one can be disappointed in going. Well, unless you are against that sort of feckless debauchery and wonton wackiness. Money and transportation allowing, I will be going next year...

Don't forget to wear your rubbers.:D
And take pictures.

Did anyone else read that Onion article, last week or so, about no one being able to make it to Burning Man? I tried to find it online, but no luck. It was hilarious. If you've got a link, oh media savvy ones, please post it. Thanks.

Funny too! but this one was a bit longer, interviewing organizers and numerous souls who, for various reasons, could not make it this year. Perhaps its...gone.

I've met a lot of Todd Kelsos. That article could be absolutely straight.:eek:

billy, in a funny sort of way, many of your writings are sheer poetry.

I hope you get to attend Burning Man someday. I too would like to go.
