If that's what you want to see. Because being a cranky more-Burner-than-thou is, apparently, some people's permanent mode of operation. Are there sponsors for some of the camps? Of course there are. It's expensive as hell to put together a big camp. Expensive to even go. Funny thing is, I was the highest paid person in our camp, and I make about 50k.  We scraped our camp together, did it on the cheap, and had a lot of fun. But Noooooo, we're 'rich white "alterna" kids'. Would we love a sugar daddy? Oh hell, yes. Be nice to not have to worry about money, so long as we find someone who wouldn't crimp our style. Not likely to happen, though. Of course it is. If that’s what you want to see. Because being a cranky more-Burner-than-thou is, apparently, some people’s permanent mode of operation.

You gave me an orange before your talk on post-scarcity economics -- thanks for that (and sorry I wasn't able to stick around for the whole talk). Glad you had a good time, maybe see you next year.

The C.S. Tere Pirate Ship would not have existed without your support.  Thank you Hey Cory,

It makes me homesick. P. S. Welcome to the tribe, Cory. If you're ever in Richmond, VA, look up the Party Liberation Front - we do street festivals, burlesque, the whole bit. There are burners everywhere. Makes me feel better that I haven’t finished editing down my main video from what I shot…

We like to think that it is exactly what you described, lavish and principled, but without being preachy or creepy. Good to know that at least on some level, we (as a community, of which you are now a member) are still doing it right. The main image, of Charon, was my favorite large art piece of the week. His pieces are always incredible, and each year he's gone a step further than I thought possible. Nice photos, and nice description of the Burn.
