“How Was Burning Man” is this week’s must-view (4 minutes).
Separately, I sat down with a friend for lunch this week to find out what happened during his Burn. We compared text messages on our phones. My exchange with a woman included “Costco list?,” “Pears but no organic bananas,” and “Glad to hear that you skipped the fruit snacks.” (I made the trip to Costco with an almost-3-year-old in the middle seat of the Honda Odyssey.) His exchanges with women at Burning Man cannot be reprinted in a family weblog…
This video was indeed pretty funny. Recommended.
I asked the title question to a friend and he responded via text: “Exodus by car was a Biblical clusterfuck. Drive to [Reno] airport took over 12 hours.” (See http://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2016/09/05/burning-man-exodus-hampered-search-missing-teenager/89884264/ for how they shut it down because a 17-year-old was reported missing (she had not been kidnapped and stuffed into a rented RV; she was later found within Black Rock City).)
