Are any other FReepers attending the Burning Man festival next week?

I'm going with some other patriots to explore and spread our Founding Fathers' message of true freedom through limited government. We haven't named our camp yet since this is the first year.

I'd love to hear your advice too. Freepmail me if you are interested in joining forces out there.

The Freemont Fair in Seattle, is a bit like BM, but more family oriented; the cultural performances are outstanding [if you stay away from the nude cyclists parade], as is the food.

Actually many at BM are open minded about things. More so than the mainstream left.

Gonna be hotter than hell next week on the playa. Bring more water than you think you need. Also the store at Empire was closed last I heard so buy everything you need in Reno or Fernly. Bring LOTS of sun block and at least 50% more water than you think you will need.

Hippies are an extinct race...

I read this is the first year they’ve sold out of tickets. Fifty-thousand people if I remember correctly.

[dusttoyou]

Say HI to the old lady who runs the Gerlach store (at the end of the paved road).

[ladyvet]

It's gonna be hot! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Could be fun. We could go stoner/hippy tipping... Like cow tipping, but you feel less sorry for the tip-ee.

[laotzu]

I couldn’t even begin to tell you how stupidly sick this event is. Have fun with America’s most spoiled, most degenerate, and most ridiculous.

How many have you been to?

[gman992]

I’ll go for the sexual playground.....

how about Camp I’ll call you later

Seriously, I’d love to go...but I have to work....

[Dead Corpse]

I'm married so my "sexual playground" is at home. ;-)

Work is good. Keeps the bills paid...

[Salamander]

Weird.

After watching that, I feel like I have fleas.

“I’ll go for the sexual playground.....”

Remember, wash with soap and water, urinate then go ahead and schedule an appointment with your doctor.

I went the last two years. It is not as much of a hippy event as you would think.

I love some of the art displays out in the deep playa, also the art cars are my favorite, and you can sit in your camp and watch them come by.

Recommendations: I like those blue surgical masks, take a box of those with you. I get a box of 50 at Harbor Freight for about $6. Carry extras in your pocket to give to other people who get caught out in a dust storm.

Keep you feet well covered. The dust/sand there is very basic and is nasty on your feet.

Take a lot of differnt kinds of food. I never know what I will be hungry for out there.

Oh yeah, don’t forget ear plugs for sleeping, the music goes on all night.

Also if you are planning to stay for the “Burn” get up early the next morning and get out before the traffic gets heavy.

[redreno]

Heading out on Sunday. Got an early entry pass. First time for me.

[ErnBatavia]

...most of the people there are not of the same political persuasion as me but I like the creativity, the artists and the coolness.

Admit it....you wanna go for the tits.

[Shark24]

Godbless and my prayers a with you! :)

[prisoner6]

Well, there IS that too, LOL!

this is why i love Palin. She is a legit free-spirit from the vast and grand frontier of Alaska. While “burners” of the lower, jaded 48 can only hope to be poseurs who cling to their pathetic pseudo-freedoms rather than understand freedom as a way of being.

Its no wonder people feel inadequate compared to her and therefore envious.
