Burning Man Eventgoers 'Stranded' After Roads Left Impassable
www.ticketnews.com: Thousands of people took over the Black Rock Desert in Nevada for the annual Burning Man festival. However, heavy rainfall caused the streets to become impassable, trapping eventgoers in the desert.
Burning man, at the bare bones of the idea, sounds somewhat fun. Being able to travel and camp out in a place with lots of other people all gathered for the upcoming festival, and living that way sounds cool. However once you get into the actual execution things become a bit difficult. People can be incredibly unhygenic and be really loud and annoying and make me unhappy. Having to be in ah hot place with sand getting everywhere and no air conditioning would genuinely suck. So being stuck in a place with no running water, thats hot, sticky, and sandy, would suck a lot. I like the idea of living as a nomad for a little while just to experience it, and I think it would be a valuable life lesson. I love music and concerts and art, but burning man is just a less desirable execution of that, and having to be stuck there due to flooding would be miserable.
