TIP

"The most important tip I could give a newbie, though, is don't expect

to have the time of your life. Everyone has been telling you that

Burning Man will be the best thing evah and you probably have

expectations built up. Let them go. You'll spend a lot of time hot and

dusty and cranky or cold and wishing you had a slice of pizza or a

milkshake or wondering why you're not getting laid or cursing yourself

for being retarded enough to shell out thousands of dollars and put in

months of hard work for this so-called "vacation." Realize this. Be

aware that Burning Man could totally suck. Of course we all want you to

have the time of your life, but I do wish that before my first burn

someone had taken me aside and said "dude, you know this may suck,

right?"."
