Burning Man Education For Newbies

Postby trilobyte » Mon Aug 13, 2012 4:28 pm

This is too good not to share.

Joseph Pred wrote:Innuendo made an edumacational video for Flipside which was totally brilliant (learn about pickle backs!). Since most of it's about the ten principles, with a little encouragement, he made a Burning Man edit for us to share.

At long last, here you go. Spread the word!




Thanks to Innuendo for making this, and Pred for passing along the info. Share with your friends and campmates!

:lol: They used one of my pictures from the '07 Burn for the edit. The guy emerging from the whiteout in the section on playa dust around the 8:20 mark.

The vid is awesome though. Should be mandatory viewing.

Today I learned, port-a-potties are not a place to align your chakras.

Watching this with less than 24 hours to go before I leave is helpful. I saw it as a visual checklist, and I met each point...except radical self reliance, and just for one small thing. We don't have the room/baggage weight allowance for a sledgehammer. That's the only thing missing from our entire list. Is that bad? :oops:

There has to be a way to embed this so that it is required viewing before entering the ticket queue. (I can't wait for the queue!!!) :coffee:

Ok that's cool.
Porta-potties are discussed at the end. That's good.
Thank you.
