Burning Man

she should hook up with this guy

WHY on earth is it so LONG!!!!???!!

as awful as the video is, I don't think I could be anything other than totally jazzed if my bride made it for me

I would be like, "jesus christ, I thought I was marrying a totally different person, not a musical theater actor" and leave home

The internet is so hateful. A hall of mirrors just laughing at itself.

kind of amused at people reacting badly to this versus the videos of wedding parties marching down the aisle to pop songs

like, making a heartfelt thing like this that's not a centerpiece of anything is a lot less cringeworthy than getting a few years down the road and realizing you looked like a jackass to the tune of the Black Eyed Peas

Those are bad too.

well it was tweeted by her to HuffPost weddings so, I mean...it's nice that she loves her dude so much that she sang a song and the sentiments are fine but sending it public in the delighted hope that it might go viral is just asking for trouble.

it ceases to be charming and becomes pomplemoussian in its quest for publicity

exactly

Yes. Plus she seems like an insufferable person. I hated her within 10 seconds.

pomplemoussian!

I just watched the beginning again to make sure I wasn't just being harsh but COME ON. It's bad.

Yeah, i mean, if you want to open yourself up to the public, then you better be ready for criticism.

"you're my elf Muppet lover!"
"... thanks?"

let's also not forget "everything's okay-o/when I'm with Judeo"

The occasional cameo appearances of her BBFs.

BFFs, I mean.

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.

this has all become pretty gross

my friend who worked there for years quit earlier this year

"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."

lol

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.
