Always curious about this and I would have tried it in my younger days, but I doubt I would have fit in. I think that's a point to consider — who does fit in? Per the video, it seems like a pretty big cross section of a segment of our society. Those that would not, and wouldn't have due to a closed mind, are evidenced right here on this minuscule commentary.

I see the overall mentality as that of the Coachella thing. Not the same focus but the same draw. I would have said Woodstock but I don't think attendees knew what they were getting into and there weren't sequels to refine it. Another point.

I think there's a allure to finding a release mechanism to the constraint of the daily grind. Some get drunk and others go fly fishing.

Burning Man seems to be now a little contrived and the people in the video lean that way. Part of it is how elaborate the overall structure is. I mean there are tons of building materials involved at considerable expense. Looks to be the typical assemblage of doers and lookers.

And that, in general, is how things are everywhere, every day. These people are just pulling back for a day or three and stripping (no pun) themselves, sometimes falsely, of some inhibition. To that I say hooray.
