Touchdown! Greaser!
Speaking from experence?Stoned out of your mind is a prerequisite to be a burner.

"I’ve smoked pot off and on since the early 80’s in high school."I wouldn’t say it’s a prerequisite, but there are many who do. I’ve smoked pot off and on since the early 80’s in high school. A few of my buddies used to go into the restrooms and smoke in between classes. Seems like another lifetime ago. Be prepared to smell a lot of cigarette and marijuana smoke around the playa. A little joint beforehand helps the experience really come to life.
Clearly you don’t understand the arts and I’m quite offended by your tone. Art is largely like music. Lots of different strokes for different folks. It’s an abstract of the mind and a free way of expression. Don’t even waste your time at the ‘Man it won’t be suited for you.

Jake,That’s fine you’re free to disagree. I’ve been to many and have felt it’s one of the best in the nation. Folsom street fair is wonderful as well, but it’s more body expression.
I'm offended that you're offended. Since when is doing drugs and partaking in orgies "art"?Clearly you don’t understand the arts and I’m quite offended by your tone. Art is largely like music.

It's art. Don't you get it?I’m still hung up on the orgy tent.
Thanks. I appreciate that. Its been keeping me up nights stressing about whether or not I should go.Don’t even waste your time at the ‘Man it won’t be suited for you.
…..Since when is doing drugs and partaking in orgies "art"?
Ouch. But yeah, there's some of that.I’m still hung up on the orgy tent.
The Romans thought it was...and partaking in orgies "art"?
Here is one from Volubilis in present day Morroco
Burning man isn't for me. I just don't like crowds or excessive heat. I do like the solitude of airplane camping out in the desert. I flew in to the High Sierra fly-in in Nevada before it got too big and became Burning Man for aviators. I've also solo camped on the playa at the Alvord Desert. The solitude and splendor of a night sky with no light pollution makes dealing with the akalai dust worth it. The Alvord desert has the added attraction of a hot spring adjacent to where I tie my plane down.

This might be the strangest thread I've witnessed in my five years here.
As someone who has a 14-year-old kid with Internet access, I'm wondering if some posts were deleted or if it's the mere acknowledgment of sex and nudity that's offensive.Just a friendly reminder to some of the more liberal people without kids on this discussion:
Some of us do have kids. Some of those kids are 14, taking flying lessons and frequently read POA.
We are supposed to be family friendly.
The discussion about burning man is not. To be clear…
I have not looked back to check.As someone who has a 14-year-old kid with Internet access, I'm wondering if some posts were deleted or if it's the mere acknowledgment of sex and nudity that's offensive.
Personally I have no objection to how folks live or love. My wife and I have our lives that we have chosen for reasons we find meaningful. Others have their own. None of my business.
Or, God forbid, pickle ball.I agree. Some of you people like and play golf, which I will never f**king understand... But that's y'alls business.

Well. The discussion at my house was “hey dad, what’s an orgy dome”
I'm confused. What exactly did you find offensive, just the fact that burning man was discussed?
So....what'd ya say?Well. The discussion at my house was “hey dad, what’s an orgy dome”
Not something I was expecting from POA. If that is a problem for you I’ll show you the spot where you can go ….
One would assume, "I have no idea."So....what'd ya say?
If you were my son you would know. Otherwise it ain’t your business or my place…So....what'd ya say?
Anyone else smell a troll?
At Burning Man or Rough River?I’m still hung up on the orgy tent.
I'm already sold on the benefits of GenAv, but I'd say that makes the case for flying in pretty cleanly.I don't think I would want to stay out there for more than a couple [hours] before I would want to go back to suburbia.
