Pretty sure that Higgins is not an engineer but he does write well. That said, I'd have to give the nod to CP after his last post...if he has been to a Burning Man and says that it was transformational, who are we to say that he is wrong?
It still doesn't appeal to me but then again, a lot of things that appeal to others do not appeal to me. Over 100k people paid stupid money to see Beyoncé in LA this last week and I wouldn't walk across the street to see her show...not because I think it would suck but I don't like crowds anymore. That said, she will rake in over $1 billion from this tour alone.
I saw her on the freeway over the weekend, that was good enough for me.
