Burning Man is one of the very few events involving a lot of people I'd like to go to some day.

I'm conservative, don't like crowds, do no drugs, including pot (can't stand the smell, otherwise maybe I might).

The neat vehicles, structures and art IMHO would be worth the trip.

The videos on Youtube of them are really interesting.

Not to mention the lost revenue in the Reno area. Millions. Butt oh well. The “soothing” words in the press release are............babble.

[DannyTN]

Now it seems even more appropriate for that festival.

[rktman]

Oh, not the vice clown?

[Reno89519]

Oh no, what will the druggies do?! /s

[equaviator]

Can’t say Burning “Man”. Must cancel Burning Man...LOL!

[BiglyCommentary]

Isn’t LSD supposed to be a anticovid pharmaceutical? What are they worrying about?

[McGruff]

They should make it a mask burning event. That would get alot of participants.

[Kevmo]

They have the 1st amendment right to freedom of assembly, even if we disagree with them.

You seem to have an issue with da 1st amendment.

[dinodino]

Yes, Burning Man is on my bucket list as well...

[Army Air Corps]

I would go just for the novelty of it.

The people who frequent Burning Man and similar psychedelic gatherings and music festivals aren't the problem. They are not even part of the problem. They are usually people of means/employed, incidents of bad behavior violence are rare, often alcohol is not allowed, and generally behave themselves. They aren't the sex-scandal ridden alcoholic weirdos with psycholoical issues versed in mass exploitation we find so plentiful in government, who are the problem. Know your enemy and avoid the kneejerk "us/them" mentality.

Slab City. Interesting place.

exactly

[Fireone]

I’m sorry, I thought she was posing as Vice President.

[PROCON]

Shouldn't they rename 'Burning Man' to be more inclusive of all 67 genders or at least change the name to 'Burning White Man' Festival?

[Secret Agent Man]

no drugged groupsex in the desert this year

[Stravinsky]

This is laughably stupid. The vaccines are widely available. And this event wasn’t even until August. Not a logical reason in the world not to hold it. Not that it concerns me. Not my kind of event. But sheesh.
