How many hippies does it take to change a light bulb? None hippies cant chage anything! haha

so this thread looks pretty dead, but does anyone know any dubstep djs that will be playing on the playa this year, or of any dubstep camps or camps/art cars or whatever that will be playing lots of it? We dont get many gigs in New Zealand so would be real sweet if i could listen to lots of dubstep at burning man this year woooo wa wa wa

I think many are getting confused by the fact that you can be the most straight laced conservative and still look pretty rough after surviving the conditions out there on the playa for a week.
Not everyone there is a hippy, in fact possibly a minority in the way they're being described on here.
Burning Man is more for the radically self reliant, the key memes are: "leave no trace" and "radical self reliance".
If being dusty defines you as being a hippy, well then I guess even the cowboys and radical conservatives that live in desert states of USA having been living an illusion

The playa is definitely not for the faint of heart city slicker and also not for anyone who is expecting woodstock, if so you'll be sorely disappointed.

I do highly recommend coming to Black Rock City as an individual with a strong sense of self, you'll have a great time.

i know more burners than i'd like to have ever met. every one of them is 30-40, does a lot of acid, and missed the rave days. i am not interested at all in a bunch of old people trying to party like its 1989 when they were to busy going to law school, or in the navy, or pledging a fraternity instead of heading out to clubs and 'raves'.

really, i thought i was a bit of a "hippy" in junior high (long hair, patchouli, dreads, weed, led zeppelin, dirty clothes) but these people are soaking up a watered down version of flowerchild philosophy like its fake liquid acid. Every one of them i've ever met was pathetic and simple minded.

im never going.

what happened to diverse anyway

misk · Post by **misk** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 1:04 am

im down with diversity, but im not going because theres nothing interesting about it. my life is far more interesting than burning man, and i live my life all year round, not one week out of the year.

to each his own tho

woah dude!! you got things really mixed up!
Please do some research before you start dogging on the most amazing place i've ever been to in this world!

Burning Man has a different meaning for everyone. For me its about surviving in the harshest lands in north america with 50,000 other people without the use of money, vending, advertisement, ect.. Its a place to really do some soul searching and to connect with people on a level like i've never experinced before. Its a place to do whatever your heart desires and not be judged, to share your passions and thoughts. Its a place of interactive art, huge sound systems with out anything to reverb off of, food, giving, freedom, learning, ect..

people can call it a "hippy" event or whatever you wanna call it, but i've never seen a more diverse group of people in one area. Its truly a place to be yourself.

btw, burning man was started by a man named larry harvey over 20 yrs ago on a beach. He broke up with his long term girlfriend and burned her shit with a few friends to rid himself of those possessions which started a tradition that now is recognized world wide and is the worlds largest "leave no trace" festival. That means after 50,000 people live there for 1-2 weeks, you wouldn't even be able to find a cigarette butt when we are gone!

(also, dubstep has been the sound of choice out there.)

i understand burning man isn't for everyone, but to say what you said was straight ignorant, unless you believe that people working together to achieve a community based on giving is stupid.

Are you okay with the direction our world is headed, full of greed, unethical corporations, natural resources not being used because of people in power, war, poverty, ect?? I'm not, so I'm apart of a solution, which you call "hippie closed mindedness".
I like to view Burning Man as a social experiment, the way we really should be living. Wouldn't you like to live in a world that encourage people to do what they love and to be whoever you are? A place of self reliant people that don't rely on corporate america to survive.

these are all issues that need to be addressed and solved, unfortunately closed minded people call these "hippie" issues, which are the same people in power that are destroying our planet!

btw, im not a fucking hippie, just someone who cares and won't stand for what our society has become, GREEDY!

now, how can you call these people "simple minded" like you said?? unless your a republican thats only concern is money and power, you should see these points as valid concerns that we all need to work on.

I like showers so the only way I would get my ass out there would be renting a phat RV and mobbin with mad supplies.

or you can build your own shower booth w/ a solar shower bag. I've done the rv thing before and i slept in it 2 times that yr, and gas is a bitch. Also, grey water collects quickly in RV's.
