Yes we're mining aquamarine crystals on Mt White. Why is that hard to understand? I didn't want to leave our pit, but will be going back in 2 weeks.

Jewelry. High end jewelers buy the nice ones, and even the junk is bought up by the metaphysical folks.

thats about a year or more in advance. you don't wait for the tickets, you get the tickets when they are available and wait for the event.
i'm sure there are still some tickets currently available for next year, if not maybe the following (not sure when they become available)

Burning man is a lot more then what you will ever hear. Its a city. There is so much going on you won't even ever know. Its the 5th largest city on Nevada. Its a fact. Its even on google maps. Check it for yourself. Black Rock City.
Tickets cost around $400 not including a vehicle pass. Which they only sell a limited number of and you have to have one if you wanna drive threw the gates of burning man with 1 car and or trailer. Tickets are rather hard to get as well. They come around in April and you have to sign up just to buy them. Its crazy I know and even then they only sell around 35,000 to normal people like me and you. Makes it quite a challenge to get a ticket and its only going to get worse.
People have been talking about burning man for a long time. Saying that its lost its way or something but it really hasn't. Its always the same. Except there are certain types of people that you want to avoid but that goes with any type of event. And its not really a festival. Its more a culture experiment. Its hard to describe.
Bugs! yes the bugs. Every year there is always something the people of burning man snark about. Every year trust me. There is a lot of snark in the community. So much so that you kind of have to be an asshole to fit in. Feels familiar right? Lol They just do it to scare away the newbies. The bugs are gone. There was only moths out there that's all. And it was because of some rain fall that happened but its all dry so no bugs anymore.
Burning man is not cheap, nor is it always fun because yes you are out in the desert, Unless you bring an RV your are out to the elements were dust storms come from no where and yes it does rain out there as well. Winds kick up to 70mph for no reason and the people are crazy. But if your wanna of those weird people that loves watching crazy beautiful sun sets from the mountains that surround you. You'll love it. You'll meet someone you never would have in the real world and connect with them in a way you never thought possible.
Here's a picture of me from last year.

Sure do. I'm about 50 yards from being on the Prospectors show put out by the weather channel. I sell my stones and jewelry at gem shows. I heard the bugs are gone!

I couldn't figure out a better way to do it, so last year I built a cozy shade structure and threw it and all the supplies and the girlfriend in a van and drove from new york. Worked out fine except jesus christ who knew we grow so much corn!!!
Riding my bike on the playa at night... one of my top experiences.
Reportedly its not for everyone. :-)
The bugs have died down already; not a problem

The sand is wicked alkaline and if you go with just flip flops you'll get "playa foot"
