i figure with one of the most harsh environments on the planet comes the possibility of deeper understanding between humans faced with having to survive it together. this is something i hope to get to experience out there my first trip around. this is what the american dream is to me - communities of people pulling together and helping one another survive crisis and hardship. call me a hopeless romantic or an idealist ... but ill stand firm in my convictions. find me

Fri, August 22, 2008 - 7:03 AMBurning Man is not boot camp for a third world country or Hurricane Katrina! ;-)
Seriously though, IMO its actually quite luxurious....but it is a grand experience in setting something up differently than normal day life. But like normal day life, similar things apply like, A Watched Pot Never Boils. Dont look too hard or Murphys Law might bring you to court...
Its more like Sharing in a time of Decommodification, and a little dust storm Survival Action to feel an even broader bond with your community.

Sat, August 23, 2008 - 1:09 AMAll I can say about Love on the Playa is that it's like Vegas... what happens there stays there, unless it's contageous, in which case remember that Herpes is the gift that keeps on giving. For some reason some folks think you can do anything there and STDs and pregnancy don't exist, but they do...
that said, good luck finding what you're looking for!

Peace,
