I have never even been to a festival, or even a gathering before. So this is comparatively like the first drug you ever try being DMT, and I'm not sure if it is excitement, or sheer terror 
Any you guys been out there in recent years that can shed some insight on what it's all about?

From what I understand, it's just a make shift city in the middle of the desert. Art, music, food, drinks, and so on. You just go to be a part of the hetty vibes brah.
Honestly, I have no idea though. I like to think there are wild sex orgies there.

Ive actually read the survival guide a few times over the years, and sure I'll read it some more. I have to say the only thing that really has me worried is that absolutely noone I know is going. Theres a few first year guys in the thread in the gathering forum that have tickets, that Im gonna try to maybe hook up with and roll in with together, but if that somehow fell through I'd be flying completely solo.
Thanks for the torrent idea, Im gonna check into that right now

I made a thread on the boards earlier if anyone wanted to make a Shroomery camp, but I suppose that might have been overly ambitious for my first bout with the festival. I will definitely check out that thread, thanks for that heads up

I've never considered going to Burning Man, just because my budget doesn't have room for a ticket with that kind of price, but I've been to a number of "Burner parties" and they're pretty fun. The major recurring themes I've noticed are giant flame-throwing industrial art pieces, hot dog stands, and drunk-but-not-too-drunk anarchist hippies.
Have fun and take pictures!

Yeah, I'm really hoping I don't run into any bull-shit catastrophe's that I can't hurdle before the date! I'm a bit almost overwhelmed by the thought that I now have a ticket, probably a lot of it could be credited to being deathly hungover all day.
I've wanted to go for years though, but always found some reason not to (bitchy girlfriends, just starting a job, etc) - but this year I am just gonna go for that shit.
Half drunk anarchist hippies doesn't sound too bad, hopefully no 5-0's ruin our good time

If you do go out there solo you will have to join someone's village. It will be damn near impossible to survive out there on your own.
Burning man seems like tons of fun, but it is also a huge fucking hassle. Freezing at night, insanely hot during the day, and sand storms. Lots of shit you gotta be prepared for.
