Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/Zahalia on /r/BurningMan I hadn’t heard of it until a burner friend insisted that I’d love the experience. I couldn’t go with him that year but having never travelled overseas I resolved that this was going to be the first adventure.

Between the camp and forums and website and email exchanges, it was information overload for a noob. The support of our burner mate and others at information nights was indispensable. Highly recommend; wish I’d participated more.

Coming from Australia, we were scared of being unprepared. We spent way too much time and money and fretting in what became a Walmart tour of America. Three trolleys of alcohol seemed like a good idea at the time?!

Thankfully we were able to donate our excesses to the camp for future use, otherwise I would have felt very wasteful and contrary to the values of the event.

The fact that I had to buy so much stuff made me feel guilty but I’ve got my camping setup perfect now. One of my most useful purchases was one of these hobo tools: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001CZ9EAY/ref=pd_aw_fbt_sg_img_3?refRID=16SBNDWDH9NS4MSY3DSE I’ve used it a lot since getting home too. Makes you think about all the stuff at home and how little you really need it.

When people ask me about Burning Man I don’t tell them about the art or the partying, I kinda worry that they’ll think it’s a big piss-up and not contribute to the event. Besides, the most culturally shocking thing for me was people’s attitude to the land - holy shit, people said thank you to one another for picking up garbage! That’s cool.

I agree with the people who BM was an emotional rollercoaster. It brought out a lot of hurt between my partner and I, and a lot of travelling tension amongst friends. I felt the most alone I’ve ever been, and the most loved. Goddamn, did I meet some beautiful strangers. :)

Go with an open mind, and don’t expect to see the same things or meet a particular kind of person.. be them, be the person you’ve always wanted to meet.

Everything at BM is there because of amazing, gorgeous, loving, talented people who make that fucking desert into a city and if you give to BM, you’ll get so much more out of the experience.
