Have any of you ever been to that Burning Man festival in Nevada every September that hippies go to?

What is the big deal with it? Why do liberal hippie women like it so much? What is so cool or fun about it? What's the point?

What goes on there exactly? Do the people just build up a big straw man and burn it down or something?

Are the people there just a bunch of pot smoking hippies? Or are there quality people there?

Is it easy to meet hot or cool chicks there? Is it easy to get laid there? Are the people there open or cliquish?

Have any of you been there, or know people who have? If so, what did you think of it? Or what have you heard about it?

What about those Rainbow Gatherings with hippies? Are those just Woodstock wannabees?

Thanks, but buying tickets has nothing to do with my questions above.

...did you read the FAQ at the URL provided?

You can also go to youtube and search for "Burning Man 2012" and "Burning Man 2013".

The best way to experience eclectic and artistic events, is to go see it for yourself (in 2014).

Burning Man... though it attracts lots of open-minded pot-smoking types who want to party, experience the absurd, and get off... SEEMS to be an unholy resurrection of the not-quite-defunct White-pagan custom of human sacrifice.

In harmless effigy, of course.

Before attending, I suggest you view this film:

Check out this Woodward TV video about Burning Man. It says its connected to ancient druidic and celtic rituals, and to the bohemian grove ritual as well.

Btw do you think its easy for us to get laid at burning man? Are the people there really freethinkers or just pot smokers?

Would the white girls at burning man reject me too? How do i get laid there? If i just show up will girls invite me to their tent for sex? Lol

Nah but its very ritualistic from what I have seen on a few videos. Its a pegan ocult like behavior if I have seen it.
But i would like to see it for entertainment value and sit back, relax and check it all out.
