I think the purpose of Burning Man is achieve pure joy within a community of others.

It's got to be like rowing. I used to row and then coached crew for several years. There's a phenomenon called run in rowing. It's the state achieved when all rowers in the boat act as one, in perfect unison, and the boat rises up out of the water and you go faster and easier, than the level of strength you put in. It's scary the first time, euphoric every (rare) time thereafter.

The gifting economy/culture is what I'm eager to experience. Have to figure out what I could cook for masses. I'm thinking 10 unique fried chicken sandwiches from around the world but there's got to be something better.
