    Seriously disturbed by this article, Seems to me that the person who write this article has no connection with burning man and is drawing opinions on burning man as a spectator having made no real connection with the event.
    Picnic festival sounds really interesting, but i have no idea why the writer is making such large comparisons to burning man when they sre so odviously completely different fecstivals.
    For one the festival is sponsored and powered by large global companies, Its just a tool they are using to connect with there market in a different and innovative way. If you visit there website its dedicated to virgin and richard branson. Its good to see companies such as this making a difference and getting people to think outside the box on how we can make the world a better place, but at the end of the day you have to question there underlying reasons. Atleast at burning man projects are undertaken with pure intentions, or atleast they used to be.

      I dont really think its worth paying attention to, If i reacted to everybodys opinions on burning man i'd be in a fight every 3 days
      I met a guy working in RTE last year for Dave Fanning who was going to burning man to cover it for him
      He told me it was an amazing place where if you ask any girl to give you a blowjob she will 'for free'
      And that they give you free acid and you have to burn all your clothes to get in....
      After that i didnt even bother telling him i'd been there, i just nodded and smiled while he turned to the next person and told the same story.
      This writer gives the impression he has been there, and he may well have been.. but he sounds like one of the few people on the playa that i would turn away from when they start to talk and theres no way im going to pay attention to him out here.
      Any person who would see that as an objective report and would take his word as opposed to making up their own mind is probably not ready for the desert anyway
