I’m sure y’all in attendance are great people...

I’m just trying to get to Seattle for 24hrs. Walk into the Reno airport... This old dusty couple sitting on the floor with huge packs blocking everybody trying to check in... they’re trying to learn how to play "you are my sunshine" on the ukulele while people are literally stepping over them just to move up in line.

I’m not sure why this event/the attendees bug me so much. I know some great people who go every year from Tahoe. Maybe I just don’t see the point? Can any of the enlightened enlighten me?

Classic.

I’m really just trying to get some perspective, because I obviously lack it. I’m genuinely curious.

Is it about time to start the Burning Man 2021 thread?

It was wonderful. Came home with a wicked dose of playa lung, been coughing for 24 straight hours. Almost done with that and back to the real world.

Getting settled back in here. Lots of additional smaller art out on playa this year. Was pretty cool to check out.

Caught up with MTM for a bit on Tuesday night. He was the only one who made it out as far as I can tell. If others made it sorry I missed ya.

Some interesting characters in our camp this year and visiting our bar, as always

Splat- Same here got a bit of playa cough which is weird because I didn’t think it was all that windy/dusty this year. I rolled through the neighborhoods you thought you’d be camping but didn’t see your RV. Sorry we didn’t link up.

I had about 5 hours sleep over three days prior to showing up at 10 AM tuesday, then had a shift to work that I bailed on halfway through, only to crash for 15 hours.

Here's some whack fucks I was partying with.....

Have you tried amphetamines? They'll get your mojo back.

the urbanism of burning man by an economist: "And so when skeptics say that it will be too hard to plan for large new waves of urbanization, he says this instead: “Look at Burning Man! They grow to 70,000 people in one week.”

“It’s a metaphor for my sense of economics,” Mr. Romer said. “I picture an economist showing up at Burning Man and saying: ‘Oh, look! This is the miracle of the invisible hand. All of this stuff happens by self-interest, and it just magically appears.’ And there’s this huge amount of planning that actually is what’s required beneath it to make the order emerge.”
On this point, the economist and the Burners kept converging: Freedom requires some structure, creativity some constraints. But it was becoming clear there was more to the structure and constraints at Burning Man than Mr. Romer imagined. As he learned that, he inched even further toward the urban planners.
After 1996, the founders also began putting up a fence around the city, a pentagon with perfectly straight sightlines. Nominally, it is a “trash fence,” catching debris before it blows into the desert. But it also defines the edge of the city, so that it is possible to stand at the boundary line and stare out into an open desert uncluttered by tents or plywood art. The fence is an urban growth boundary. It is as much about keeping out interlopers as keeping people in.
