Alkaline mud is burning my skin man.
I attend the local variant, and assuming the demographics square out (I think we get less techbros here but way more trad hippies), and probably the biggest problem will be sewage removal (which we did daily).
There were a lot of people very unprepared for a storm. Lots of sad looking tents.
I think most people tend to overprepare food and water requirements, though everyone is pretty smelly by the end of the event.
You love to see it.
Is there any way this can be a live Netflix series?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sept 2 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of revelers attending the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert have been asked to shelter in place and conserve food and water on Saturday after a rainstorm turned the site into mud.
"Rain over the last 24 hours has created a situation that required a full stop of vehicle movement on the playa.
More rain is expected over the next few days and conditions are not expected to improve enough to allow vehicles to enter the playa," the U.S. Bureau of Land Management said, according to local media reports.
More than 60,000 participants travel to and from the remote area in northwest Nevada every year, according to the event's website, gathering in the temporary city to make art, dance, and enjoy community.
The festival gets its name from its culminating event, the burning of a large wooden structure called the Man on the penultimate night.
The gathering, which originated as a small function in 1986 on a San Francisco beach and is now also attended by celebrities and social media influencers, was scheduled to run from Aug. 27 until Sept. 4.
