The folks really getting burned are the suckers that pay hundreds of dollars to roast in the desert. As it should be.

Let's go out to the desert to decommodify the country but first let me charge you four bills to make money off you while you speak out against people making money.

First heard of it about 15 years ago. Kinda figured my knowing about it meant it had become mainstream... losing its cachet.

Living in Boulder and hanging with the crowd I do I know a lot of burners. Some of the best people I know. One thing for sure - they could really care less about what others do to have fun.
The Thursday Night Cruiser Ride will be small the next two weeks.
"Hey you kids get off my lawn" signs would sell well around here...

Arg, Dingus, that's more crap chip seal, Satan's own repaving technique. As an occasional road biker and long distance bike tourist, I hate that stuff with the heat of a thousands suns. A POX on all chip seal, which is, unfortunately, pretty much the default repavement these days. Oh well....
I'd kinda like to go to BM, but the astronomical hassle and crowds have never been my thing. Here's another activity in the wilds of Nevada, actually AT BM (Battle Mountain), that I'd also like to attend--a unique event for cycling geeks:

Most likely too late to grow a beard. Do not use your car to get there. Arrive and go home when it is dark. Do not even think about taking your phone buy a couple of throw away ones. Take photos using a camera. Pay cash for everything. Take four/five tee shirts, four/five sets of sun glasses, 10 different head coverings change every 4-5 hours. Never use your real name. Always look straight when looking at things, never up towards the sky. Look down by using your eyes and try to find little bugs that do not move. Listen for funny noises. Oh! and smile.
You should be fine.
Some things will never change.

I like the artistic costumes and constructions, and would like to go for one day, once. But there is no way I could stand it much longer I'm pretty sure. I know there is sober places there but for the most part - way too much drug use to have any appeal to me.

Last year I saw a bunch of flyers in the little bishop airport (Thai Thai) about how not to get raped at burning man.

Funny. I wouldn't think one would need a flyer to inform them on that.
