There is a significant portion of the English speaking population that so frequently misuse the word "literally" that they had to add a definition of it to include figuratively. That doesn't make everyone who says literally when they mean figuratively not a complete and total moron. Feel free to display that fact whenever you use the word wrong though,like a jude star so we know you are stupid.

I know I'm fagposting but my crew is passed out and my hands are sorta tied until sun up.

The truth is Burning Man is largely composed of super rich white people and no, it is not affordable. I don't make a lot of money but I make a lot of art and art grants cover the cost of getting there and sometimes even supplies.

Of the 4 times I made the trip 3 of them were on someone else's dime because I have a reputation for not complaining and never shirking my responsibilities no matter how hard I am partying. At 26 I'm definitely one of the youngest people here (aside from the minors with their families).

A component is that the further away you come from, the richer you usually are and the bigger your poo poo is. West coasters can do the drive in a day and so a ton of Cali/Portland peeps just show up to party, but I'm from the Philly/NYC area so my crew goes hog wild.

I'm phone (fag)posting so I cannot post pics of my art but I built a garden of 9 foot tall praying mantises that people were invited to paint, then is built one 25ft tall and 40 ft long (took 3 days). This year my art project is a climate controlled yurt full of body pillows and Halloween lights. It'll always be cool in there during the day and warm at night, and we have basically every amenity.
The big project my friends have that I skipped out on is converting an Air Force missle loader into a spaceship dj booth (ICARUS).

I've been in and through some sex domes, but the big pile of flesh thing isn't my scene, so I'm usually there to do what's called rangering. That is basically where you go to heated or weird situations (consent violations, overdoses, tripping out too hard) and you try to defuse it before the cops get involved. The last time I was in an orgy dome was to clear out some woman who was just grabbin' handfuls without asking. She was too spun out to be there so I put a blanket over her and took her to medical for a nap.

There are tons of other countries and ethnicities there, but because regional festivals in other countries are blowing up now, I am personally seeing fewer and fewer internationals and by extension, it is mostly white people, but I have camped with Palestinians and Ghanaians before, but that is just anecdotal.

Not from Wikipedia

Rigor Mortis is a thrash/speed metal band that formed in 1983 in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metroplex. Two schoolmates Harden Harrison (drums) and Casey Orr (bass) formed the band when they met Mike Scaccia (guitar). The three young men shared an interest in horror/gore films and very heavy music. With Bruce Corbitt on vocals they created some of the heaviest thrash metal at the time often flirting with death metal. They were also one of the only major thrash bands from Texas and virtually created the underground metal scene there. The band was signed by Capitol Records in 1987.

the other day my 3g was making GBS threads itself and I couldnt stream music because I was near the interstate at rush hour so I switched to national public radio and there was a story about parents who take their kids to burning man and they interviewed like a dentist or something and he was like "burning man is kid safe" but then they interviewed people talking about all the naked grown men drunk and on drugs and a doctor who worked at burning man and treated a bunch of accidental alcohol/drug ingestion by kids over the years but you be the judge
