Maybe this book will give people who haven't been a better look at things, and for those of us who go, give us some nice pictures to remind us why we like going.
Giving things is good: We gave away almost 4,000 books of matches this year and a few handfuls of stickers. People gave us stuff because they had stuff to give away. We've delivered booze, cupcakes and toys to various people just because it's fun doing it.
There are naked people, sometimes huge crowds of them. I wish some of them weren't naked. (I've seen a lifetime worth of balding no-pants hippie guys.) After a few days, you really stop noticing.
Some people do drugs. Some people don't do drugs. Nobody forces them on you, and nobody cares if you do them, as long as you aren't bothering other people.
The best thing (or worst thing) is that it's up to you to contribute in a way that lets you have fun. Don't like the music? Play/Bring your own. Want to roller skate? Bring a roller rink. Want to make a flamophone? Want to build a galleon on top of a schoolbus and drive around singing pirate songs? Nobody's stopping you. (Well, they might ask you to not operate the flamphone in camp for safety reasons.)
Want to complain about how uncool and unhip and commercialized it is now and how much better it used to be and how much it sucks now? Fine, but please stay the hell home next year and leave more room for the rest of us.

There is truly amazing art: (life-size battlezone tank made from el wire). There is a lot of crap art that gets ignored.
