I am looking for something different to do this Labor day weekend.
Has anyone been to Burning Man?

I have not personally been, but I know quite a few people who go every year. I have seen their "unedited" pictures and heard their stories. There is definitely a wide variety of people who attend this event. I don't want to stereotype anyone who does go, but I will say that it is definitely NOT my scene. :(

There's a good article about it in the current edition of Smithsonian Air & Space magazine.
Definitely looks like a stinky hippie drug fest in the middle of the desert! :D :D

One of my coworkers is into Burning Man. And she is a granola muchin' hippie. She has been blabbing on and on about it for the past couple of weeks. I am sure its cool if you are into that but its definately not our thing. She claims its not about drugs but about being "green" and living off the earth and helping others. :rolleyes:
I personally cannot stand the smell of patchouli so I would never go. ;) :D

Is it that funky smell that some of the earthy people use?

The Black Rock Desert is lovely this time of year.:D
A group of my peers goes out in the hinterland beyond Gerlach every year for theraputic purposes. One year we went the weekend after BM. Those folks may put forth a "green" image, but they were anything but that year. Trash and waste of every conceivable type strewn everywhere. Nevada Dot closes the dump station at the Fernley rest area on 80 for the entire weekend due to the folks from BM using it for purposes it wasn't designed for.
I can understand the desire to seek something different to do on the last big weekend of summer, but unless you are motivated by the stories of your friends and others to go, I'd pass on BM. Just seeing the folks heading that way through our town coming from the Bay Area convinces me that it wouldn't be a fun place for me.

The house we worked on with the BM freaks didn't smell too bad they had running water. They and all their friends were burned out acid freaks though.
They had constructed a "hidden room" in the attic with a hidden stair access and caught the house on fire with some mini rave. I can't believe they all were'nt killed trying to get out.:rolleyes:

Hey, stop hating... no all of us from the Bay Area are a bunch of pot smoking hippies...... most but not ALL..... :devil:
besides Sonoma and Mendocino county has just as many hippies as we do. They could have been from there. ;)
Just seeing the folks heading that way through our town coming from the Bay Area convinces me that it wouldn't be a fun place for me.

No hating, Dave. Just reporting some observations.
Hating other people requires a level of effort and interest I struggle to attain these days.:D
I know there are good people by The Bay. A handful of them rebuilt my spine.
