Entertaining video - even if this guy knows nothing about it, he still manages to get half of it correct.

  • BRC = Black Rock City (in the Black Rock Desert, established long before Black Stone and Black Rock)
  • Bureaucracy and lines get worse every year. Arrive early or leave late and avoid the lines (and of course volunteer prepping or cleaning up).
  • Skydivers don't get in free.
  • The natural desert is epic like nothing else.
  • DJ Tiesto is VERY famous. How does he not know of him?
  • The dust devils, aka desert "tornados", are common.
  • White outs are very common and no big deal unless you're a pussy.
  • I used to "decorate" the porta-potties with "no fishing" signs. Also, "no fucking", "no swimming", etc.
  • That food waffle tent is new to me. Nice idea.
  • Sunrise, one of the best times of the day!, sounds like Bassnectar.
  • This guy doesn't get it, and even people on their second year or more don't get it. Its culture is exceptionally unique and vast. Embrace or reject what ever you prefer.
  • The dust/mud actually makes some people sexier. Weird but true. Scars can be sexy. Work makes you free. Clean people don't work (unless freshly changed) and usually complain the worst with endless drama.
  • My cousins with their <1 year old and uncle came to Burning Man.
  • I went 10 times.
  • Underwear is not uncommon in the fucking hot rustic desert. Make a thing from your "pure" life.
  • There are too many laws at Burning Man. The Black Rock Desert is at the corner of 3 counties with sheriffs, the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), DEA (always wanting to bust some dirty hippies), and other feds and officials are ever present - plus our good Black Rock Rangers (an entirely different great concept).
  • Lots of people get injured. Many have died. Like any city of 70k, much less arts-freedom festival.
