Burning Man

going to burning man with my co workers seems likea circel of hell

One of my coworkers went a couple years ago with his brother. Their other brother had died the prior year from a freak accident, and it was kind of a bonding thing. The brother had a mutant vehicle repair shop with welding tools.

Hearing a pretty straightlaced 50-something guy talk about Burning Man was cool

that's p cool

they must all literally be burned by the desert sun on their saggy flesh

I dunno, if one of my siblings had died in a freak accident, I might be inclined to stay away from freaks.

boom

i went to this...it was really fun

don't understand why it seems to generate so much hate from ppl who haven't been. it was one of the most civilized events i've ever been to. i'll take a few naked hippies who act respectfully towards each other & the environment over yr standard uk festival crowd who seem to take pleasure shitting everywhere except the fucking toilet any day.

went to so many fun camps & saw a lot of great djs & sunrise at the disco knights camp was probably the best party i've ever been to.

probably my weirdest moment was when ruby wax knocked on the door of our rv

I don't think critics are necessarily fans of huge music festivals, either.

Assuming you are limiting to large scale activities with camping when you say "most civilized events."

i was gonna say "most civilized music festival" but it's not technically a music festival so idk.

almost everyone i've talked to who hasn't been is a critic whether they are a fan of music festivals or not.

no nude hippies for me please

most civilized temporary autonomous zone

Burning Man would have appealed to me a lot more when I was 19 and single

after a burning man experience many have "burning crotch"

Burning Man would have appealed to me a lot more when I was 19 and single

I was really grandma-esque even at 19 so any event where I would have to spend time camping out in a field would not be appealing to me.

no toilet is a deal killer anywhere

there are toilets at burning man and they are pretty decent

I don't believe you - show evidence - i want an iSniff

ew

TOILETS
IF IT WASN'T MADE BY YOUR BODY, DON'T PUT IT IN THE POTTY!

Portable toilets will be provided, and will be emptied regularly. Use these facilities only for their intended purpose - not for dumping garbage or your personal potty bags. Putting anything but human waste and one-ply toilet paper (2-ply is a BIG no-no) into the portable toilets makes pumping nearly impossible and threatens the survival of the Burning Man event. This includes tampons, trash, and handy wipes. Read it again: NO TAMPONS, TRASH OR HANDY WIPES in the portable toilets. THIS MEANS YOU!! Put the lid down when you're done - it helps keep odors under control. Do not dump grey water or bags from your personal "potty" in the portables rented for participant use: doing so will fill them up much faster than normal and result in nasty toilets for all. For tips on dealing conscientiously with your grey water, see grey water disposal in the Preparation section.

Our toilet vendor works very hard to keep us all happy. Clean toilets are mandatory from a public health standpoint. Follow the guidelines above and you'll find the toilets cleaned frequently and efficiently.

Please do not defecate on the playa; it is an illegal act and unpleasant mess for everyone, especially for those who restore the playa after the event.

"Please do not defecate on the playa;" is this short for "player" like a person or do they mean the general grounds?

best festival toilets ime

lol DJP

they should have a festival of toilets - Best Tiolets - like Bestival - Toiletestival

"grey water"

"Old grey water keep on flowing - Mississispi moon wont you keep on shitting on me"

'grey water' is a thing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greywater

Greywater is wastewater generated from domestic activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and bathing, which can be recycled on-site for uses such as landscape irrigation and constructed wetlands. Greywater differs from water from the toilets which is designated sewage or blackwater to indicate it contains human waste.

DEAL QWITH IT

you should petition them for recognition of your own chosen festival of holistic meaningfulness + setting fire to things

Asking my work for an all expenses paid month off for Gathering of the Juggalos.

i think it seems kinda cool if you are into it. i am not into extreme heat and dust, so its not for me. i watched that documentary on netflix and you could definitely see the appeal for people.

"Burn the huge Toilet" - a tidy bowl cake you can actually eat

yr standard uk festival crowd who seem to take pleasure shitting everywhere except the fucking toilet any day.

How I earnt my display name iirc. Glastonbury '98 - that was me.

lotta ridiculous confusion over totally legit terminology itt

sicc playa dust is the best band name though. you gotta admit.

Sicc Playa Dust sounds like a completely legitimite ICP side-project, actually.

product you buy on the drug bridge at their festival, iirc

lotta ridiculous confusion over totally legit terminology itt

'90% of people insulting person in article on internet are less appealing than original apparently unappealing person'

whoa! tbh i'm impressed by that

not impressed at the word "monogamish"

sex diarists are the most disgusting savages

I know that sexual freedom is part of the Burning Man package but there's something incredibly hilarious about the "did the dishes, put a penis in my vagina, read a book" pacing
