Velvet Posted June 24, 2002 Report Share Posted June 24, 2002 I'm finally facing the fact that I won't be going to Burning Man this year. I have a first round ticket for the show, cost $125 US I think, there were only 2000 available at that price, and they were the cheapest ones. I think they are up to $200 USva ticket now, and they are $250 US at the gate. Burning Man will change your life, it is unlike anything you've experienced. email me if you wanna buy the ticket for cover price plus the $10 I spent on mail order. sigh.

Velvet Posted June 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Okay, I'm really disappointed that nobody has responded to this post yet, at least with a "I'm checking to see if I can make it ' or a "my friend goes to Black Rock every year, I'll ask them..." or something. If you don't know what Burning Man is FIND OUT! www.burningman.com Imagine 8 days in the middle of the desert with the 30,000 of the craziest, most creative and interesting people you've ever experienced. Everywhere you go you will see/experience something you've never known before, and it's impossible to see it all. I've had some fun before - Phish/Dead/whatever tour, trips around the world, concerts and such from Philip Glass to Metallica, submarines, acid trips, and gunifights, and Burning Man is by far the most interesting thing I've ever seen. Plus everything there is free. Can you say Funk Camp?: dancing your ass off to live funk on a lightup disco floor getting smashed on blender margaritas in the desert. Oh yeah, and they burn it all down at the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Shit, that sounds like one big-ass stag! I have heard of it, but soooooooo very little. I like how they 'try' to explain it to 1st-timers on the site "Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind. " Their image gallery is INSANE, it looks like a combination of Mad Max and the Star Wars Cantina........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
