there was a big discourse about how people were not getting the experience they wanted from the burn because of the rain. and again, thats missing the point. you dont get the burn you wanted, thats kinda burn 101. burning is an unsafe space, even at the best of times, profoundly uncomfortable. there being rain, doesnt change that.
you can't have a profoundly transformative experience on your own couch. you have to go out and do uncomfortable things, things you've never done before, things that make you uncomfortable, unsafe, etc if you want to have a profound experience. it doesnt just show up on your doorstep and you unbox it.
burning man isnt a music festival, a survivalist convention, an eco convention ... its a burn. its out of control, thats the point.
limited feedback from the folks i know who went was that it was a great time, as always. im sure that i will hear more at the next regional, in 2 weeks.
