Search “Hipsters ruined Burning Man” for some funny stuff and education about what it is and what it was!

Ya – black rock city now has a population of 70 K, some of which just don’t get it, they are called “tourist” by hardcore burners

Anyway, the feds (BLM land btw) charge BM org $3.2 million for the conditional use permit, one of the conditions of the permit is to leave the desert in “nearly pristine” condition. It takes volunteers about 2 -3 weeks to sweep the 5 sq mile area and remove all traces. If you went out there today I don’t think you would be able to tell anyone was ever there. I heard “tourist” left 4000 bikes behind for the 2017 event. I guess that’s not too bad considering out of a total of 60 to 70K bikes. Still sucks

But the culture is in somewhat in danger due plug and play (turn key camps), bros, frat boys and hipsters, but it still a great event, got my tickets and vehicle pass, going again in 2018.

I checked it out and there is a lot there. It affirmed what I already know: Hipsters ruin everything. When I first move down here to New Orleans we had hippies. Gradually they morphed into hipsters. Hippies walked. Hipsters ride their silly retro bikes around with that smug look on their faces. Hippies were always smiling.

Thinking about it hippies were generally happy, the hipsters always look irritated.
