So I got invited to Burning Man this year.

I got a ride with some hippies to go to Burning Man, theres enough room in their convoy for me and a buddy...

Problem is, I have to take over a month long tour across the USA with said hippies. I'd have to stop into the Rainbow Gathering, and a bunch of other festivals that are just too much for me. Burning Man at least has artists and other creative types...I'm not sure I can live for an entire summer with hippies in a van.

Wat do? Would you go? Do you think its worth it?

Its not like this is the only chance I'll ever have in my life...but the only one in my forseeable future (aka next 5 years)...and, I've been saving money to go to the 25th Cannabis Cup, I'd have to blow it on this instead...hmmmmm.

I would be extremely tempted, that's a hard decision. Burning man is supposed to be an amazing experience so it really comes down to if you know you will enjoy it enough to warrant the long trip with a bunch of extras that aren't necessarily wanted. Personally I probably wouldn't go just for sanity's sake but I would kick myself for not going.

Nothing ever will be worth a one month stay with hippies be it in a van or not.

make sure to bring the stuff you'll need to actually survive in the desert, if you go. I know a guy who went and he made a point of saying that people who aren't prepared have a miserable time of it.

also, bring some hawkwind cds. :] best hippie music

My dad goes every year.

You definitely need stuff to survive when you get there. Also, tickets aren't cheap.

i would go instantly, i wouldn't even think about it i would just go.

its definitely one of the things i plan to go to some day.

I'unno what the Cannabis Cup is, but that doesn't sound too different from Burning Man lol, albeit more hip hop.

Stick with Canibus Cup.
