At last year's Burning Man, a prominent tech investor was attacked by ninjas. "They were just a bunch of people dressed up as ninjas, riding around on bikes," says Garry Tan, Y Combinator partner and co-founder of Posthaven.com. "They yelled out 'ninja! ninja!' and then they tapped me lightly on the arm." As quickly as they'd appeared, the ninjas were gone.

“We used to have R.V.s and precooked meals,” said a man who attends Burning Man with a group of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. (He asked not to be named so as not to jeopardize those relationships.) “Now, we have the craziest chefs in the world and people who build yurts for us that have beds and air-conditioning.” He added with a sense of amazement, “Yes, air-conditioning in the middle of the desert!”His camp includes about 100 people from the Valley and Hollywood start-ups, as well as several venture capital firms. And while dues for most non-tech camps run about $300 a person, he said his camp’s fees this year were $25,000 a person. A few people, mostly female models flown in from New York, get to go free, but when all is told, the weekend accommodations will collectively cost the partygoers over $2 million.

"There's no government that organizes this," Norquist said of Burning Man, an event held on federal land, accessed by public roads, and actively regulated by local, state, and federal agencies. "That's what happens when nobody tells you what to do. You just figure it out. So Burning Man is a refutation of the argument that the state has a place in nature."

burning man
I can't tell if this is satire or not. I really hope it's satire.
Old musical instruments make a great conversation starter. Not only that, but instruments with a low register such as the tuba and bassoon can be heard for miles on the playa, even through dust storms. Draw in a crowd with “When The Saints Go Marching In” then deliver your company pitch.

Remember, anyone wearing a top hat is likely on the job. Be sure to exchange business cards with anyone donning a stovepipe. Even if they’re not in your industry they can potentially connect you with decision makers at businesses that fit your ideal customer profile.

so my boyfriend is going with burner / fire performer friends as part of their troupe. he has always wanted to go, and i'm happy for him and supportive. but watching the whole process of rehearsals and just the entire alignment and aesthetic of the fire performers really confirms that this is not for me and i have absolutely no fomo. also, i just don't think fire performing is for me and i'd rather not watch any more of it - i find it boring and embarrassing lol.

i like his friends and think they're sweet and charming but i don't think i can be close to them or hang out with them for extended periods of time, which makes me a little sad but what are you gonna do.

seems to be going well this year
More than 73,000 Burning Man attendees remain confined to their camps Saturday and are blocked from leaving the event after a slow-moving rainstorm turned their desert playground into a soupy, muddy morass.
Organizers banned vehicle traffic from the roads Friday afternoon and kept the exit gates closed as of 8 a.m. local time Saturday. Even walking was treacherous as thick, slimy mud clung to shoes and anything else it touched.
Organizers warned attendees to conserve their food and water, indicating the closures could be lengthy.

Basically, a friend of mine had a handful of free tickets and a free vehicle pass ... he gave away/sold the tickets but still had the vehicle pass ... someone joked that he could give it to one of those self-driving cars and it could have a fun vacation!
