I know a someone that goes to burning man a lot (they call themselves "burners"). I asked how it was this year and was told one of the best years ever. Last year wasn't so go according to this person. Its probably who you are and what you're looking for. For her, its all about the art installations.
The logistics and planning of getting everything out to the dessert from the east coast was more significant than I had imagined.
I borrowed her popup tent that was covered in burning man dust, its weird gray and alkali. Its remarkable that burning man actually happens.
