Playa foot is a myth, although I had a giant blister on one foot my first year from not having a bicycle. Lots of people walk all week barefoot.

pretty much. shows how bad I wanna go. if someone said "hey we're going, I got tickets, a van, and food, give me money" I'd probably say, ok cool, give him money, and ride along.

The borg brought in thousands of bat drones that killed all of the bugs. Nature will not impede the progress of the man!

lol so it's only really hot instead of very fuking hot.. gotcha
but I just googled burning man and I honestly thought it was like a psytrance festival with arts included
turns out it's nothing of such, it's nothing but art and "culture".. I guess if you wanna call it that. google'd images it and some of that stuff, you can't tell me those aren't some of the weirdest people on earth. Walking around in giant goat costumes and sh*t in the desert u wot m8

It's not a festival, but an experimental city and a gifting economy based on free artistic expression. Music of every kind plays a major role in the city but is not the focus.

Most burners come off extremely douche, ime.
Besides why the hell would I pay 400$ to hang out in an ugly part of the desert? I don't know I just don't jive with all the circle jerking from the people I know that go. Seems very adolescent.

Otherwise that experience just doesn't look appealing to me anymore. I prolly would have done it with just the shirt on my back when I was 21, but at 31 that's not what I'm about anymore. I like being home with my wife and cats.
You're spot on with this post. I have no wanting to go to an outdoor festival for more than a day. I've been to a few (never burning man) and the best part of the experience is when you are on your way home to your bed.
I don't even like camping for more than a day without an air mattress.
Festivals are just too expensive. I'm at the age where my disposable income needs to go to more important things. It sucks

Oh well guess you'll never really know. I'm gonna take lots of acid and meet lots of cute girls while experiencing some of the coolest interactive art megaliths in one of the most extreme desert environments on the planet. $60 per day(and night) isn't that much to pay if it was offered at the daily rate.

What do you expect if you don't go? Words can only do so much? Watch the youtube videos and you'll get a feel of snipets there, but it's a whole urban experience with everything you'd expect, oh and there are hundreds of bars across the city with free liquor till it runs dry.

Yea took me awhile to get the gist of it but I have seen vids and what not. Was just referring to the attitude of it. You seem chill and cool, didn't mean to blanket statement it just I often encounter a snobby side to it.

There's nothing like it on the planet. This will be my 3rd year. It's magical and that's a word I never use but its the most fitting. You don't even have to be on drugs. Stone sober its a completely enveloping experience that compares to nothing.
Sex/drugs/art/ sometimes you'll experience all 3 at once it's insanity clown shit chaos.
Videos and talking do it no justice. It sounds culty but you really have no idea till you go.
