What happened to the gathering I've come to know and love?

When did the hate slide in?

I'm ready to sell my ticket.

  • The Burningman (in my opinion) has declined and so even though I have been presented with ways to go with my level of bad asthma I choose the regional burns instead. Yes... I still want to go but over the years I have watched, listened and read the changes that are happening to the main event or at the main or even leading up to it and afterwards - it's sad. I find that the regional have more of the early Burningman days then the event is now -- from what I have been told.

    With that said…

    I think the video is funny. There are a lot of stereo typical "Burner" references that make it funny to me."If you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?”

    Try to see the humor in it.
  • If your ready to sell your ticket over this very funny video, it may be a good idea...as you have outgrown the carefree, accepting nature of the event. Try accepting the humer of others as you put up with the music styles, loud noises, dust, leeches, and overall antics of the "Burners" that you used to call "Family" now after a few burns, a funny referance to hitler is going to offend someone who is a burner and make them not wanna go...Funny where is the complaint about the cost of the tix or the Red tape for an art car or the "registration" concept for a theme camp. The Burning man you know and love HAS changed as it has grown up also but to let a funny video alter your perception of who goes and why is against the very principals that brought you out there in the first place.
    Go have fun and remember why it is fun...
    Peace, Love and Dance
