What a fun night. We roasted a pig and had some really great tunes to carry us though the night. Right on!
WOW!!! What a day!!!
Last year when Tier 1 and 2 tickets were blown out it was obvious that the 25th anniversary event for Burning Man called Metropolis was going to be a well attended event – and it was. It was sold out with an official count of 53,000 people at it’s peak point on Friday.
This year, many of you already know that Tiers 1, 2, and 3 tickets blew out! In spite of troubling issues with the vendor’s selling process, the sale appears to have been a much needed injection for Burning Man not only financially, but optimistically given the theme this year “Rites of Passage”.
On twitter (@LVBurners) it has been noted a lot of people dream of going to Burning Man; even adding it to their Bucket List. Maybe it is this theme that is igniting the desire in these people to finally jump the broom and experience this new level of participation in life.
Do we dare ask? Is it time to make the city bigger? Do we add 20,000 more tickets and keep the same principles that guide the community and have them respected? I am sure just a few years ago the very same question was on the table. BUT!!! More people means more BLM and more L.E.. Just something to keep in mind.
