Burning Man or The Holiday I want

[smokingboot]

Yes, I want a week of cracked rock and blistering sun and flamedancing and naked/stoned/out of it people riding bicycles, creating dreams, 'radically expressing themselves' through art and sex and drugs and firelight and desert night. I kept putting it off. And now I've missed the motorised cupcakes.

An Edwardian expedition would be super - I can see them now, riding around the playa on penny farthings:-) synchronise them, add music,and we have performance art!

I was pretty daunted by the survival guide, cos though I don't need creature comforts too much, I am lazy. Then I recalled that you can just drive away if it gets too much, though that would be a shame; what the expedition would need is an uber organiser to ensure tentage, water, waste disposal, mosquito nets, moustache wax etc. We need butlers!

Aww, c'mon, how hard can it be after all those maelstrom downtimes? ARmy movements, training requirements, provisioning, armouring... this would be a cake walk by comparison:-) Where's your sense of adventure?

You misunderstand.

It isn't that I couldn't - I simply do not want to.

At all.

Remember what I said about money really being no object? =)
