I have never been to burning man but heard about it from friends who have been going for years. They say that people who are used to having closed boundaries around them, for example the Paris Hiltons of the world, have impacted on the bohemian nature of the event.

Or perhaps someone should create a new festival that is more exclusive (but exclusive based on personality rather than how rich you are). No boring people who shut themselves in, no pretentious twats, no hooligans. Only creative, interesting people would be invited, and it would be completely free and very relaxed.
- torkable 10y agowill you be sending out the personality and moral purity tests?
- acconrad 10y agoOr you could be rich and just, you know, camp out like everyone else. I think part of the problem is that they want to "rough it" like the traditional Burning Man culture without actually having to rough it, and keeping people out, which is anathema to the people who go there for the inclusion and unity.
