I hung with the "Campbells Soup can" guy.
Ouchy the clown was drinking his soup.
You describe it fairly well. Tin foil. Nudity.
Lots of Mad Max. For me it is a combo of
absurd, silly, fun, and spiritual.
I didn't get a lot out of most of the college parties I went to (though a few were fun). I totally loved last Burning Man.
I hear people say Burning Man used to be cool,
but now it's too big. Or that it's just a
bit dumb party. These can be completely valid
criticisms - for those people.
Some folks that go have a terrible time.
It's not a matter of right or wrong. Burning Man
is great for some people, but not for everybody.
It's a city that's made up of people who
value art, self expression, and creativity
far more then society at large. This changes
even seemingly mundane interactions. The amount of magic that's possible in this
city keeps me going back. I've met many of my
best friends there.
I expect that I'll always be drawn to the
flame, the wonder, and the other curious creative people.
I love Holly's photographs and her book.
Many other people will also.
