Burning Man is no joke. It’s A LOT of work. The drive back is long, hard, and awful. Have a good friend who’s been going for ages. He builds installations and (mostly these days) bars. He’s very creative. Finds famous bars/clubs in the US and beyond and recreates mini versions of them. For his work he gets like 20 free tickets to give out. ANYWAY, yeah it’s no joke. I wouldn’t go again but I’m happy I went once. There’s nothing like it. Might not be as hedonistic as in yesteryears given Instagram and tech bros flying in on helicopters and Paul Oakenfold and all that. But it’s an experience.
Fun fact, the STD rates in Nevada spike 400%+ that month (the CDC reports on likely location of infection as well as location of testing). Black Rock City is, afterall, the third largest city in Nevada when it’s going.
