I dont know it you ever attended but you definitely never participated in the community.

(90,714 posts)...fair amount of drugs. The amount of creativity alone tells me theres soul at work.
I will never be there in person, for many reasons. Just one: thanks to my Irish heritage I fry in the desert sun like a slice of bacon. Also, Im too old.
But from what Ive read of it, it is quite the event.
By the way, twat just isnt an acceptable word at DU last time I checked. Please do not bother to tell me how the Brits love to sling the word around and that it doesnt mean what we think it means yadda yadda. We arent in the UK. Thank you.

(19,201 posts)It got so popular even long-timers couldn't come back. If I were younger I'd love to experience Burning Man, but my creature comforts are something I can't leave behind now. The artistic talent on display is amazing. Don't let the naysayers get to you. It's not for everyone, but I don't see how anyone can condemn it if they haven't experienced it.
