So I’m going to a Canadian festival roughly modeled after Burning Man alone this week. I’ve never gone to something like this before, but expect to have a weird time (hopefully in a good sense).
Have you ever gone to something kinda like this (BM itself, a regional burn, outdoor multi-day music festival with that kind of vibe)? I’d love to hear people’s stories/hard-earned wisdom.
I’ve been to a few festivals but never burning man. Mostly when I was in my late teens and early twenties. The combination of camping with best friends, being young and carefree, smoking weed and using hallucinogens, and listening to fun live bands was fucking amazing. So many hilarious and awesome stories, it’s hard to choose just one to share. Would love to experience it all again some day.
That’s awesome! I’m going as a dude in his 30s - which was reason to have some pause about this event, until I went to an info session about it and discovered I was on the younger side of the group, lol.
Nothing like using your vacation days to recapture a little youthful irresponsibility (coupled with adult sensibilities, like bringing enough food and water. Have erred on that on camping trips with the homies in my younger days :p )
