15 Commandments from Burning Man

Categories: Holidays and Festivals | North America

“Burning Man” is 50 thousand crazy freaks, 300 art objects, 7 days without money in the dusty and hot desert ass of Nevada. Officially, the organizers call it all the Festival of Art, Extreme Self-Expression and Self-Sufficiency, ”Wikipedia writes about Burning Man.

In fact, people from year to year come here for sure not for this! There is some other force that makes them not notice the dust, wait out the heat of the day, create all year and then bring ridiculous plush hares the size of a house, octopuses spewing flames here to the desert, build objects that are stupid for ordinary life, and then fill them with crowd of thousands of Playa ("The Beach" - the main square) and ride mutant bikes in the dark among bizarre structures, with flashlights, fluorescent lights or lasers to low-pitched electronic music sounding from art cars circling around and dance floors moving smoothly along Playa, and makes even those over 50 explode! This is not written on Wikipedia and is not spoken aloud. But that is why many “tourists” who came to stare at the “fun carnival of freaks” leave disappointed, without understanding “why it’s fun for them, but I don’t”, without understanding the main thing - what force gathers people here again and again from year to year. year, although tickets here are incredibly expensive and impossible to get!

So, I've written these commandments for you, reader going to Burning Man for the first time. Like all commandments, these are for slow thoughtful reading.

10. At night you will need a pink flamingo. You ask why? I will answer you this way: a glowing pink flamingo is what you need! And don't ask me why. Wherever you go, pink glowing flamingos are trusted more than themselves at night.

11. Where you will be, there may be people with flashlights. They are few and can be seen from afar. Forgive them for shining in your face! These are tourists! As a rule, they are also “people in gray”. They don't see in the dark like you do. Yes, if you can't see in the dark, something has gone wrong.

12. Every new evening, your street may meet you in completely different places where you left it when you left. Take it for granted. If you don’t catch the “road to the house” the first time, try again. Sometimes it comes from the second or from the third. This is fine.

13. Think seriously about whether there is life on Mars.
