I've been to burning man the last 5 years. It truly is life changing, and there is something for everybody's taste (music, sex, art, lecture, collaboration, achievement,) if it hasn't been to the playa yet then bring it!
We build a camp called music savages and have hosted Jamie Jones' paradise party, lee Berridge, desyn massiello, and many others. The festival is mind boggling and inspiring when you see what people are capable of and how creative everybody can be.
It has changed alot, and the tickets situation is now frustrating. But the event remains incredible. If you can make the journey I highly recommend it.
