Sigh. Having never lived on the West Coast or been swept up in Valley culture, I'm having trouble even parsing this blog post for value beyond the, fairly obvious conclusion, of BMOrg's actual mission statement (which is partly in the title of the post).
Please don't mistake me for being a jerk. Burning Man seems like it would be an awesome experience. But this article seems overly critical and self-conscious about an event that by design should eschew both.
Also, I hope you have BRC's permission to use those photos ;-)
- fixxer 13y agoI'm a native of California and I'm not having any easier of a time getting this, I assure you. Burning Man sounds like fun, but this post struck me as contrived and in complete juxtaposition to (what I think is) the intent of the festival. Wrong clothes?? If you're going to a festival seeking a religious awakening, you're doing life wrong.
