BM is always a very personal & special experience. This year the weather & our camp experience made it tough but wonderful none the less. I Worked esd & everyone was wonderful… I can not even say enough about the level of Team Work & Caring I saw working with this group!!!! They Added a Great Hug!!! (To My Burn & If I Missed Anyone Please… Send One Back!!!) Oh! & Tell Dr. Mikey to keep the corkscrew…but he still owes me a bottle of his homemade wine!!!

You get out of it what you put in… Let’s not let the shallower impressions of others detract from the magic and mystery we may find. There is always a skeptic in every crowd to challenge your experience… Belief comes from within.

@TTTNA

If all you see Burning Man as is one big party & if thats all you truely want to get out of it, I feel for you. I have both worked BM and attended for the sheer joy of attending. This is definately more that simply “a party”. I’ve gone to parties. Attended some amazing bonfire parties in my day. None of those come even remotely close to what happens at BM. The conection with one’s evironment and the interactions with the people around you, is wholely unquie to the BM. The event actually has a heartbeat. A life of its own. And if you’ve ever camped on the playa when there is nothing there, and then camped there during BM, you might begin to understand how all of it works together. I am continuely amazed at what happens @ BM, and then how it all dissappears w/out a trace. You would be hard pressed to find such an exurberance of expression and movement that leaves so little in its wake anywhere else in our country. I am sorry that all you see is one big party. It makes me deeply concerned for the future of this event if more people start thinking like you. I would urge you at this years event, if you are going, to look beyond the obvious and truely get the experience BM has to offer. I would also encourage you to explore the playa outside of BM. I’m guessing this would help. I’d also like to note that I barely even classify myself as a “burner”. And I am the furthest thing from a “hippy” that you can imagine. But I do love the environment and art and how the 2 can come together in such unquie ways. I really hope that you will expand your horizons and look beyond the obvious. Or at the very least respect the fact that other people do.

“It’s much more than a “party” for most participants, especially those that put in tons of hours volunteering.”

yes, free labor can hardly be considered a party. that’s unfortunate for those who are tricked into believing their free labor brings them closer to the spirituality of the sacred movement. but that connection to the divine spirit of burning man is reserved for those who dedicate their entire lives to the event. but maybe it you keep trying… maybe one day, you will reach total consciousness.

It was so nice having Otic in walk-in last year. Those of us in walk-in are the few and the proud and all my neighbors loved it. The few and the proud….wait…it’s like we’re the Marines…..JUST LIKE the Marines

Get over trying to limit everyone else’s experience to match yours.

I’ve been lucky enough to see Fleishmann’s work at LA Regional events. He’s something of a mad-genius engineer, and his work is beautiful as well as mystifyingly puzzle-like.

Can’t wait to visit Otic Oasis 2.0 in JUST A FEW DAYS.
