nostalgicAnyhow, I was just wondering what the first thing everyone here experienced at Burning Man was?
The first year I went, we arrived late at night on a Tuesday evening. Most of BRC was pretty sparce, and it was too dark to really make anything out. After a gruelingly long drive (me driving with a car load of people, stopping every few miles cause someone had to pee/stretch/whine/etc) I got out of the car. I grabbed some of my camping gear and a flashlight and got ready to set up my tent when 2 of my companions decided they needed to get into a spat. I decided to just put all my shit down and go for a walk instead.
First thing that catches the light is 2 grown men beating each other senseless with nerf bats jumping around and giggling bare-assed nekkid flappin around as they frollic. As my jaw hits the ground, I hear, "Hey you. You, with the flashlight."
I turn off the light and say, "Who, me?"
"Yeah you... c'mere!"
I walk over... "Heya, what's up?"
"Here, smoke this and have a beer with us..."
ah... I can hardly wait to be home again.
