    Re: Burning Man

    I've never been, but friends of mine who have gone have had great experiences. Tbh, I don't know if I could handle it. Maybe if I had a trailer to stay in.
    All of the pictures I've seen make this festival look incredible!

          i have heard some amazing things about this event. i wanted to go next year but most likely won't be able to. I have heard from a couple experienced "burners" that now is the time to go because they feel it's inevitable that it will get commercialized.

              Here is like 2 hrs of content from Burning Man. We broadcast the shit live on current. I have a lot of friends that are burners and a lot of friends that go to shoot/produce shit (see above)- never been though.

              I may be going this year... still not sure.

                I'll probably lose my mind if I go.

                I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                    I went last year, and it's an insanely good time. Don't expect to sleep much while you're there, and don't forget to stay hydrated. I think the recommended amount of water while you're there is at least 2 gallons a day. Remember to keep yourself well lit at night, so you don't get run over by bikes or art cars.

                    Are you going out for the full week, or just a few days?

                    There are tons of sound camps, so be ready to dance your ass off. You'll also be walking more than you can imagine, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes (flip flops not recommended because you'll get playa foot) and bring lotion to keep your feet from cracking. Also, I wouldn't recommend going without a bike.. the city has a 10 mile radius, and without a bike, there is no way that you'll see it all.

                    Good luck, have fun, and just let go and have an amazing experience!

                        I know Joachim Garraud played there last year and apparently is playing again this year. So at least there will be one good dj there. I don't know much about the event. My friend Mr. ECC plays there every year. I've wanted to go but never seem to know about the event until it's over. ARGH!

                          Others that played there last year were Paul Oakenfold, Dj Dan, Gabriel and Dresden, etc. Not to say that I'm much of a fan of any of the above, but there are some big names out there. The good thing is that they're all included in the price of the ticket of the event. To keep with the spirit of community at the event, all dj's ask for is the cost of admission to play. In fact, many play events in San Fran throughout the year to cover expenses..

                          Opulent Temple throws some of the hugest events on the playa.. http://www.opulenttemple.org/. They're at BM every year, and have insane line ups. I think they release the line ups for the even a few weeks before hand.

                          p.s. for future planning, Burning Man is over Labor day. It typically starts the last week of August and runs through the beginning of September. I'm not going to make it this year, but next year for sure.

                            I wish I was there for the crude awakening burning, that looks f*ckin amazing and makes me really miss the west coast for some reason...

                            It was fun while it lasted...
