Did We Mention That Burning Man Tickets Are Now On Sale?
Because they are. "$210 and $225 tickets are sold out," we're told. But with the income you're pulling in from that tech job, you should be able to afford the pricer admission fee, right? Right. Go here to buy yourselves some dusty bliss.
We're not sure how this year's prom in the desert will top last year's What with a suicide mistaken for art and the hysterical premature ignition, you burners will have to try extra super had to make this year's shine.

Does anyone know if Frank Chu attends Burning Man? I'm not going if Frank's not going.
Oh god, guess what the conversation is going to be about tonight. I'm not going out.
Anybody have any extra carpet? I need to glue it to my car.
Is there a Discount Burning Man for starving artists who can't afford the Real Burning Man(TM) or do we need to start one ourselves?
Interesting. However, that just addresses the entrance fee issue. Are there on-site expenses or is everything free once you get inside the gate? Are there facilities where we can reheat our brown rice or is there a swanky Playa Cafe with an all-you-can-eat buffet? And do they charge corkage?
Assuming you're being serious, the only other expenses inside the gate are ice ($3/bag), and a stand inside Center Camp that sells coffee and lemonade. All other amenities/services are free. Many camps serve free food. You'll have to bring your own microwave (and generator) to reheat your rice.
Actually, I was being serious, well, except for maybe the corkage fee. Anyhow, I appreciate you answering my questions. Thank you!
mpants: step 1 is finding a group of experienced burners to go with, which leads to step 2 (them cluing you into all the various bits you need to know without having to read a million pages), but is especially important for step 3 (them helping you out once you get to the playa and realize you have no way to reheat your rice, and actually, you forgot your rice).
Okay, I'm going to toss my copy of the Dummies Guide to Burning Man into the trash immediately. I can't get laid because all the chicks see that bright yellow spine on my bookshelf and leave immediately.
Oddly enough, that actually is tip number #17 in the Dummies Guide to Getting Laid.
Um, just little reminder that the suicide, which took place in the camp I usually go with, was NOT mistaken for an art piece, and, in fact, within minutes of someone from the camp seeing the body, the rangers were summoned and the whole thing dealt with. Please don't continue to perpetuate this urban myth.
A statement from a camp member who was there that morning is here for anyone who wants to know more.
Hmmm, Dummies Guide to Getting Laid did not show up in the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" list when I was looking at the Dummies Guide to Burning Man.
I assume Tip #1 from the Getting Laid book is "Hide this book".
in case anybody wants to know how ticket launch day went down at burning man headquarters, enjoy:
