OK. He enjoyed it and in his mind all the MOOP was removed not but Black Rock is pristine in its on way and this event despoils the environment regardless of the "fun" enjoyed.

Couldn't get through the first eight paragraphs before suspending the suspending belief part of my brain. Barrie and Nellie owe me the few minutes I wasted my time trying to read this crap, that I'll never recover. What a bunch of drivel, a cascade of bullshit, an avalanche of inconsequential self praise, a litany of stupidity!

What is wrong with Free Press now? It lost its way trying to be mainstream?

I'm betting there weren't a lot of blacks? That's one of those white people things that don't make a lot of sense to them. That's just a guess based on a few blacks I know

burning man is now for libertarian writers, account executives, mba students, corporatists looking to feel something. whatever cool factor it had is long dead and now just another “must do” overly covered thing left to rot from the inside. every burner i meet is somehow lacking inside-and putting upon in a way that feels off.

once something is covered in MSM it’s dead

We are all different and traveling different paths.

Congratulations Nick! I hope you and Sarah Rose have many many lovely years together. Finding love is a beautiful experience.

I understand that this year, as with most, the lion's share of MOOP cleanup was done by the organizers, long after the eco-friendly revelers had fled. Was anyone here still at Black Rock at that point to confirm or deny?
