Quoted: Sure it is, unfortunately a lot of the participants don't know it. I can't show you the pics because they aren't mine to share, I saw them on my lezbo friend's iPad. She showed me after she got back. Satan was in rebellion to God. The whole point of Satan is that he didn't want anybody having authority over him and telling him what to do. This festival is nothing if not a festival of rebellion. Rebellion against God and pretty much any rules of normal society. The bible says that the spirit of rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft. 1 Samuel 15:23 Many people are the hands and feet of Satan and they don't even realize it.

Quoted: Burning Man. Radical inclusion. “Ugh. I can’t believe Kylie Jenner is here. This isn’t for her.” Self reliance. Influencers have their people set up camp. Self expression. People are there so they can hopefully become an influencer. Communal effort. “We don’t help them, they’re not one of us.” Go back to radical inclusion. Like all things, it gets corrupted by popularity. Still, it’s on my bucket list for some reason. View Quote For some odd reason everytime I see vid's of this event the first thought that comes to mind is barter town. In fact I wrote a short story for a creative writing class I was taking a couple of years ago about a group of people who attended, but in my story there was an actual Thunder Dome. |

I hear the quality of the LSD available there is second to none.
My freind was there 10 years ago and an entire building was put up just so people could free base DMT. Sounds like a good time. |

Quoted: That explains it. I thought I was seeing more of them than normal back in town. View Quote I saw a few on my trips out today, playa dust covering every damn part of their vehicle. The couple days leading up to it the Costco and Walmart were slammed with people buying water and bikes to take. Kinda crazy, I’d go to check it out for a few hours but the wife and kids put a stop to that. |

"Most of the bewbies you're gonna see are not the ones you want to.In addition, you'll find that most of the females smell like a hamster cage.

A recently retired co worker of mine goes every year. He said there is an immense amount of wealth there. Some people's "camps" have multiple luxury trailers and large diesel gen sets running the AC. He was a electrical controls guy and has helped some of the luxury camps when they had issues
He said his ticket was $1400 this year and that there were several series of tickets released at different times with various prices. |

That was cool in the years that started with one nine.
Now it’s the ugliest kind of vapid faggotry. You might as well go to Disneyland, pay full price and suck a fat man’s dick in the VIP lounge, and text a picture to your mom because your proud of yourself. Disgusting fakery. |

John 15:18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. |

lol, the ticket prices from the burning man website...............
Approximately 10,000 tickets at $575 each, and approximately 5,000 vehicle passes available at $140 each, plus applicable fees and taxes. You can buy a maximum of two (2) $575 tickets and one (1) $140 vehicle pass. Apparently it's expensive to rebel against capitalism. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Thoughts on this rebel? If rebellion is the same thing as satan worship, this guy is doomed to eternal hell fire. Well, I never met old George but I'd wager that he believe he was rebelling against tyranny and not rebelling against God. From what I understand he was a praying man who took things to the Lord. He'll be judged for his deeds just as we all will. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fchristianheritagefellowship.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FWashington-Praying-at-Valley-Forge.jpg&f=1&nofb=1 Damn Schooled him Did he? The federal WOD is literal tyranny. Therefore partying at Burning Man is rebelling against tyranny. |

No thanks, had enough of the desert. Adding a bunch of stoned smelly people and crappy recorded music is not a selling point.

Quoted: Never been to Burning Man, but have gone to a bunch of regional burns like Lakes of Fire, Resonate, etc. as a patron. Some of these events are absolutely wild. I’ve been to Electric Forest a few times professionally and it’s another planet. Absolutely wild how the entire forest is light up with permanent installations, tons of scenery, tree houses, all sorts of glow in the dark shit, etc. it’s just wild. Very cool. Also, I should clarify, I’m a touring sound guy, so I’m been to many of these crazy music festivals like Ultra, Bonaroo, EDC, Lolla, etc. View Quote And you're from Wisconsin. Imagine that. |

Quoted: mine too. lets go see some Titties. View Quote I went late 90s as a LEO, mutual aid. Total nudity was not unusual. I still remember one nude sweet young thing riding her bike around. I remember being told not to make arrests for controlled substances. Seemed like we were basically there to keep folks from killing themselves or others and to keep raping and pillaging down. I was okay with that. Very interesting but I never had a desire to return. |

Here is an article from 2020 using 2018 tax documents for a little insight into where the money goes... https://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2020/01/09/burning-man-money-t-tax-documents-black-rock-city-budget/2827709001/ While money may not be welcome in the economy of Black Rock City, money is necessary to create the city. It took more than $44 million to run the Burning Man Project and erect the arts metropolis in the Black Rock Desert in 2018, according to the Burning Man Project's most recent tax documents. The San Francisco-based arts nonprofit covered costs with more than $43 million in ticket sales, more than $2 million in contributions during fiscal 2018 and a number of other miscellaneous revenue streams, all together more than $46 million in revenue. About a third of the revenue went toward salaries, with some top staffers receiving more than $40,000 raises that year. Though the organization is known for its free-spirited ethos, tax documents also reveal that the Burning Man Project is focused on financial security. In two years, the organization's rainy day fund more than tripled to $10 million. Consistent with years past, a large chunk of Burning Man's budget during fiscal 2018 went to the more than 100 full-time employees of the nonprofit corporation, which now has offices in San Francisco and Reno. The organization's highest paid employees included: Burning Man CEO Marian Goodell: $268,000, increase of $7,000 over 2017 Director Harley Dubois: $216,000, increase of $40,000 Director Theresa Duncan: $192,000, increase of $6,000 Attorney Ray Allen: $185,000, increase of $10,000 IT Director Heather Gallagher: $183,000, increase of $46,000 Managing Director Heather White: $176,000, increase of $15,000 Director Kim Cook: $175,000, increase of $19,000 Some of the other big ticket items during Burning Man's 2018 budget included more than $5 million to contractors. Burning Man Project also paid $1.4 million for sanitation services (portable toilets), $500,000 for on-site medical services at the event and $1.2 million for catering The Project paid more than $4 million on permits and fees during the year. ther expenses included equipment rental, office expenses and grants. The Burning Man Project awarded more than $2.2 million in grants in 2018, an increase of about $500,000 over 2017. The Burning Man Project donated more than $58,000 to Friends of the Black Rock High Rock nonprofit, which fosters environmental awareness about the Black Rock Desert, and $9,300 to the Gerlach Volunteer Fire Department. The nonprofit also paid more than $920,000 for Ticketfly's operation of ticket sales in 2018, though the former vendor returned about $35,000 after Ticketfly suffered a major cyber attack that exposed the accounts of 27 million users. As for the festival, organizers attempted to grow the 80,000-person event to 100,000 last year, though federal regulators denied the request citing concerns that growth would adversely affect local and federal resources used during the event. |

Isn't that around when they changed to a for profit? I had heard that happened but never looked into it. I assume it's easier to keep everything under wraps if you're a private company. |
