One thing that I want to do in the next couple of years is go to Burning Man. It looks like such a wonderfully diverse crowd full of open minded people. The fact that there are lots of people wandering around naked or very nearly naked makes sense given the heat. I don’t know when I’ll have the money or the chance to go but it’s high on the list.
Burning Man is a life changing experience in the best possible way. I’ve been 3 times and each year tops the last. It is the most inventive assembly of creative people, for one week, for the experience of pure joy and exhilaration. The weather can be life threatening and should not be experienced for the first time without a Burning Man alumni to guide you on survival living, but spend the money and go…your life will not be the same, in the best sense. It’s like living for 6 days, 24 hours a day, in a never repeating performance of Cirque de Soleil, and you’re one of the cast. There are no observers, only participants. Leave your inhibitions at home.
I’m soooo coming with you!
I almost went about three years ago. It is on my “must do” list as well.
