• Some folks are trying to talk me into attending the Burning Man festival.  I\'m not sure what the deal is with it.  Has anyone ever been to Burning Man or can at least provide some informed insights as to the dizzle?  Thanks!

• Not for nothing guys but these posts don\'t help at all!  Do you guys know anything about what goes on, what the scene is like, is it awesome, decent, or lame, etc?

  I know a lot about what goes on and count many "Burners" as close friends.
  You, Seth need to do this.
  Don\'t bring any expectations and be prepared to
  Participate or don\'t bother.
  That\'s all I can really tell you.

• Be ready to let go of ALL of your preconceptions of a festival atmosphere, people, and, for that fact, life in general. I\'ve never been, although I would absolutely LOVE to go. I know a few people who hold it as a total life changing experience. And these are people I spent much time with, touring with the Dead back in the day.

• I don\'t know much, but I know a kid who went one year, and he said it was the craziest event he\'s ever been to, and he\'s been to a ton of different festivals...  for some reason i think he gave me the impression that the festival is not exactly musically focused, but rather it\'s just an enormous gathering of people and anything and everything can happen.

• Thanks Todd and Peaches.  I just want to know about the festival.  I\'m not asking for advice on how to live my life from someone who has never met me.  leith, you need to go to Hookahville and to the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade.  I don\'t know you or anything about these events, I just know that YOU need to go to these things because I just know.
