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.

    me trying to find an article about 2005 specifically, only finding comments on forums and inferior social media platforms saying “Oh yeah, that’s just the Sunday at Reading, flaming tents and explosions are the norm, happens every year”

    That’s a hell of an experience!

      Yeah I’ve been hearing that it kind of repeats itself every few years. I can’t comment on any other year, but witnessing 2005 was an eye opener. I was trying to find an article to link too but only came across one from 2022 that referenced 2005 (and apparently 2002) being exceptionally bad, comparing them to 2022.
