Anyone going this year?

[kdub]

i wish. this year's theme sounds awesome.

[CMonk]

I sure as hell hope so. I've actually never been, but some friends of mine went last year and said it was amazing. I've gotta do it at least once in my life.

You going?

[SuperJunky]

I plan on it, but then again I've been planing on it for years, so who knows

[AWOL]

I hope so, it's close by.

[bi11i]

I should rephrase - anyone here actually bought tickets yet? ;)

[alowishus]

Tix?

What is it done by the same woodstock '94 & '99 pricks?
$7 bottles of water.

Always wanted to go, I feel that, now though somethings would be sadly lacking from the ones I used to dream of going too, back in the day when it was fresh and non-money driven.

But we have livestock here :rolleyes: almost the same thing (a double) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: , just w/ hicks, that like to fight.

[AWOL]

Man, I really wanted to go. But $250? ... Going to have to think about it.

[HeidiW]

Yeah I wanted to go so bad living in Reno last year, but I couldn't come up with the ticket money, damnit to hell any way. . .

[Ragdoll]

That they made the tickets so expensive REALLY turns me OFF. Reaganomics.

you gotta read WHY the tickets are what they are and exactly what the event is first, methinks:

Glastonbury costs more and only lasts 3 days.

The green man sounds a cool theme.

You goin' Billi?

Sadly, I'd have to say no.
If we could get a large or small opi.org showing there would be cool...... it'd be harder to say no. :o

Great idea-we could tell them we were into "performance" art.

[bi11i]

I am. Will be bringing some ophile t's to hand out to those who show.... limited edition....

[alowishus]

[guilty trip] Oh thanks, I see, the only way to get one of those is to show up? [/guilty trip]

Would love too, BUT...........
Unless some drastic things happen before then, I can't go. :(

BTW, have a good time for us only wishin' to go.

That would be awesome. Maybe by then I'll have been around long enough to make some friends and get more involved in the community.

I have a couple friends that may be down to go, but I think things like this are alway more fun if you go as part of a large group.

[HeidiW]

Shit, I might have to go back to Black Rock to get that limited edition t-shirt.

[Ragdoll]

I dunno...it's just gotten too structured for those of us who remember the beginnings of Burning Man.... called "People's Park" in Berkeley, hahaha. No, really, back when it was on the beach in SF, it was meaningful to me. I don't believe in charging money to belong to a community, because I call that "the suburbs". Call me crazy, I know, but.... once $$ are involved the point gets lost, in my humble flower child opinion. I know, however, that a great many people find the current festival meaningful and that's good for those who do.

[Paregoric Kid]

someday I'll make it there.

[Nathan]

Never been... didn't really think it would be my scene. Although after talking to some people about it, I think I'd like to go this year or the following. I do know the reason why tix are so expensive is because you've got like small team of people basically creating a "city" in the middle of nowhere. This type of shit takes money to do.

[bi11i]

gearing up for burningman. Anyone going? I had to scrap the tshirt idea but would love to meet any board members who are attending.....

[djsollest]

man i wish i had the flow to go this year... its been a few years for me... i miss the rave type parties... damn rave act!!!
