What is Burning Man?
THIS IS NOT EDC! This is an experimental city where you are part of the experience, and not a participant in it. The basis is 70k people trying to make someone else’s experience better.
Burning Man is a CITY, not a festival. This thing is massive. If you lose your bike at one end, you’ll be walking your ass for 1-2 hours back home.
What’s the point of it?
The point is whatever you want it to be. You want to spend the time partying, doing drugs, having orgies, then you can do that. You want to spend your time doing yoga, staring into other people’s souls, not speaking for a day, try some butt stuff, you can go do that.
The important thing is that you do what you want. Burning Man is a place to go where you’re totally stripped of your societal image, and you can do what you want, when you want.
Burning Man is governed by 10 core principles that you must abide by. Read these and know them well!
