Wow, that was so low I might as well become a Michael Savage fan - inactive, on 09/02/2008, -1/+8Famed for sex? Um, I've seen pictures of the attendees, and sex is not one of the activities that come to mind.
#1 on the list: showering - peestandingup, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7Well, does this old man have a face that can be photographed??
- slingr, on 09/02/2008, -0/+4YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE!
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -1/+4wow, what's with all the old people and burning man hate? I know cool old people, and cool people that make that trip every year - where's all this coming from? Did I miss something?

- palehorse864, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Thus is the irony and the tragedy of...
... burning man. - inactive, on 09/02/2008, -2/+4Just...don't...go streaking
Please - stagl, on 09/02/2008, -1/+3blind ignorance is the reason so many people hate on burning man. most people who bring up "stinky hippies" haven't been and are too uncomfortable with themselves to try to go.
- gernblansted, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Yes, pictures of people at Burning Man look 'dirty'. However, being a 10 year veteran there, I can say with experience that it's not "dirty" dirt - it's highly alkaline DUST.
In fact, the alkalinity is so high that when the dust hits you, it immediately starts to kill off bacteria. You can show up on the playa smelling of BO, and after a short time there during dusty conditions your BO will be killed off. You can't really sweat unless you are working very hard because the conditions are so dry that sweat evaporates almost immediately. I've arrived at the event with terribly infected cuts, only to have them heal at an amazing rate once the dust cakes into them.
The only real exceptions are underwear zones and feet. Underwear because believe it or not the hype is wrong - the vast majority wear clothes - and feet which should be well protected from dust. If you don't protect feet, like using sandals, then the alkaline will burn your feet causing them to eventually crack open (playa foot).
I once brought back a dust caked rolled up carpet from Burning Man, and it got wet. I didn't unroll it for a year. When I did it was still wet from the year before, but there wasn't a trace of mold or mildew and it smelled like it did the year before, and no bugs dared take residence in it even though I lived in bug infested SoCal and left it outside.
Burning Man is incredibly sterile for what it is. It isn't dirty and grimey like a camping trip. The dust is the finest and harshest you can find in the United States, and you can be covered in the dust for days and not smell bad or feel yucky. - beetroot, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2I'm part of the london burner crowd, although i've never made it to burning man, I have attended a much smaller european regional that follows the same principles.
The event is about self expression and doing things because you can and you want to. Everybody respects your right to express yourself as you wish.
As for all your comments about showering and such, most people shower daily, however there is so much dust and dirt out there, that within a few moments of getting out of the shower you are as dirty as before,
This experiance changes people's lives, I have become much more open and happier to express myself infront of others. I've made some brilliant friends and improved my life no end.
Take the piss if you want, but you'll never know the brilliance of such an event without trying it. - diggdat, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1
Just once from the recesses of my all to conventional life (now at least) I would love to go.
A strange pilgrimage indeed but it just makes me happy to know it exists... - slingr, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1I got pregnant just thinking of that.... and I'm a guy!
- Drecoll, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1Hey if we can warm the planet up we might as well go for it, we may kill a few billion of ourselves but we won't go extinct.
- NathanCH, on 09/02/2008, -1/+2That's weird... I just watched the "Burning Man" episode of Malcolm and the Middle. Odd coincidence.
- mcsenget, on 09/02/2008, -1/+2He can hack his own sack.
- nydwarf, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1Ah great, 84 year old naked man running around.
- yehaww, on 09/02/2008, -2/+3you've obviously never been to burning man. there are some seriously cute girls there, wearing virtually nothing.
- eTevin, on 12/07/2008, -0/+0Wow! 84 and going to burning man! I'm 22 and don't think I could handle that amount of craziness!
http://www.tevinanderson.com - wentwhere, on 09/02/2008, -2/+1I'm going to follow in this guy's footsteps and be the grandma who grows weed in her garden. When the police come and are like "wtf" I'll just play senile and act like I don't know wtf either
It's the perfect crime - thrillki1l, on 09/02/2008, -6/+1Damn that is ridiculous. Dubai builds itself up to be a tourist attraction but in no way tries to tell tourists what the laws are.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -9/+2Burning Man? dude your going to need a shot and some cream.
