Re: Burning Man 2012 / Ticketing Boondoggle

Thanks for the sentiments Hiker but you deserve to go just as much as I do. I'm leaning towards not even pursueing a ticket at this point after reading all of the BM Blog comments for the last couple of days. Another DCHS longtime friend of mine Greg has been to BM six times. He had missed a year and was planning on going this year but he and some other friends who's BM Digs are at the Alternative Energy Zone Camp also did not get picked in the lottery. He just e-mailed me and said he will most likely be bailing on the 2012 event to go camping in Utah with his friends instead. At least Hiker you were able to enjoy a fantastic year at Burning Man in 2011. Where BM goes from here is hard to say. Below is a recent comment in the BM Blog:

Eight years … not nine.
I loved the burn; hate to see it die.
The core is gone, the soul has spirited away.
A burn-for-the-highest-bidder is a different city; GoldRock is not BlackRock.
This year please don’t burn the man, bury him.
Goodbye friends, Weedseed Willie won’t be back. I wouldn’t be able to find the place if i tried.
