Comments on Andy's review of Burning Man
Burning Man
Description: Week long event in Black rock desert.

Um, so instead the 40k people in a city do what? Live squeaky clean? You have some valid points. However, you miss some things as well. Not all those people are out there partying. Some of them are having actual conversations. Some of those conversations become action in the real world. Some of that action is green. They would not have had that conversation without BM, in seperate cities, never having met. What about all the water saved by 40k people not showering? What about all the Mcdonalds hamburgers we won't be eating? So when I'm out there knocking back a beer talking to the wind-generator guy what will you be doing? uh-hu. I thought so.

You're obviously a big fan of burning man - just a few points: the attendance doesn't usually go over 40K. It's usually like 34K and gets very inflated over the course of reporting. I'd say easily half of those people are showering twice a day -- check the camps. People set up elaborate showers and use a lot of water. Party on, dude!
