Ok ladies and gents, At 46 I just bought my first ticket to the Burning Man art project, in the Nevada Desert. I am curious to hear from Kossacks that have been to Burning Man in the past, or who are going this year. I would like to know what to expect, Hints about what to bring, what not to bring, where to stay( do I find some burning man community to stay with?? what if I dont???) what to see and do, what to not do. I have read the stuff on the burning man site, so no need to repeat here, this is the look behind the curtain thread. Also perhaps you can share some of your experiences and thoughts on what burning man means to you. For the record, Ill be driving my small truck out there, and probably traveling with one other attendee ( who has not been picked yet, I have two tix, and am looking around for someone to go.) I am planning on taking 50 gallons of water for two people, a tent ( 4 person) food, campstove, etc. I play keyboards, and might bring a keyboard rig, but dot know about electricity and places to perform. also I am not sure about the sand in the equipment, sounds like a good way to destroy music gear.
Thoughts....ideas..... experiences....
