but what do you mean by "should have been doing"?

Do what you wanna do

Although I do get your point...I felt that at the last show I attended, The Romantics at the Nugget in Reno. They were in great form and half the room rocked while the other half yawned we were sort of in the middle. Ended up dancing on the stage....www.youtube.com/watch

metaphor for burning man's growth...I think so, particularly for me , I lived in the Reno Tahoe area where the event got more bad press than good, so to say you are going there has a whole different connotation.Lots of folks I know who are say 5 year burners are not going this year. But I am sure that there will be new faces and new energy
