Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Can you guys watch my unicycle video directly and let me know if you see an ad. If so, under what terms, like a 30 second ad you could skip after five seconds? The reason I ask is there was a copyright infringement filed over some music you can barely hear in the background that somebody else was playing. It's my understanding the claimant put an ad on it and will reap the revenue from it. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Thank you to those who checked. Here is my latest BM video: Night Time Bike Ride at Burning Man -- Part 1. It does a very lousy job of capturing the colorful lights at night. You'll have to trust me that to actually be there the lights at night are amazing. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I tried acid as a teenager I don't want to do it as an adult. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | This is a random vlog from BM. I guarantee this is not my cup of tea. Everybody is friendly, everybody is your friend? They give you drugs and booze for free? Fat people walking around naked? I was at a couple hippie dippie events like that in the 70's and it creeped me out. There's a phoniness to it. BM looks like a giant love-in from the 60's. Ick.. Like Mike says, it's not for everybody. love-in nouninformal a gathering or party at which people are encouraged to express feelings of friendship and physical attraction, associated with the hippies of the 1960s. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You are like Spock in "Shore Leave"
If you run into naked people, it's never the ones you want to see. I learned that terrible lesson at age 15 when someone took down a grate at the YMCA so you could look into the girl's dressing room. Growing up on Playboy centerfolds you are totally unprepared for what a real naked middle aged woman looks like. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I'm not likely to do Burning Man until its in an air conditioned dome of some sort. Middle class hippies. Food trucks can be great. They are often paired with craft breweries or other attractions. For a while the Graduate Research Library in Madison, Wisconsin had several food trailers in their courtyard, one of them was operated by a world class chef while she was there taking an advanced language course. Everything is fresh and well prepared in a Food Truck. The owner's reputation is on the line with every item sold. Festivals: Smaller festivals tend to be nicer sometimes. Beloved Festival in the Oregon woods is small and hippie oriented, music, frequent nudity, dancing but no alcohol. Its run by a Jewish commune surrounded by publicly owned lands. Some of the northern California festivals get the same people year after year. Six months in Slab City and six months on the festival circuit but no real job. I often wonder how they do it. Many females are not bashful about indicating they are good cooks and "agreeable travelers". |
