- SkyMarshal 15y agoSame thought occured to me. My first thought was it sounds like these people essentially set up Burning Man on Wall Street. I haven't been to the former, new to the Bay Area, but got real curious when it was held a few weeks ago and read up as much as I could about it. This article sounded very similar to the ones I read describing BM. Makes me wonder what cross section of OWS are also burners, especially among the OWS organizers. Is that where they learned how to pull off something like this massive temporary settlement?
- fleitz 15y agoI just took a stroll up to Occupy Vancouver and it very much reminded me of BM. Really thinking about grabbing my tent and setting up shop. Probably gonna go hang out there some more after a couple more items done on my burndown list. My office is two blocks from the protest so it will be fun. I don't know how many have actually been to burning man, but they seem to have the burning man mindset.
- da_dude4242 15y agoI think a big part of BM culture is bringing BM home with you. Building "local burns" and building local networks. I don't think this behavior is unique to BM though. Watching documentaries on hippies flooding California you see stands for free food, clothes, etc...
