It might just go back to what it was before / intended to be originally: no private jets, no helicopters, or oysters on the half shell in the middle of the desert

By tradition, each year's Burning Man is always the worst one ever!

I thought we all agreed in 2003 that it had peaked, and that the floating world was the peak, and it was all downhill from there, just when I was informed that no, in fact in had previously peaked in 1998, when they stopped letting you do drive by shooting at propane tanks and truly fun stuff.

Feeling cool for not going to burning man before it was the trend

> Though plenty of Burning Man has nothing to do with the tech industry, Silicon Valley’s presence permeates the event. There are theme camps with loose ties to startup accelerator Y Combinator, and luxurious camps whose budgets are bolstered by tech wealth. It’s gauche to treat the festival like a networking party, but it’s also undeniably a place where bonds — personal as well as professional — are strengthened.

Oh, we’re already very, very far away from peak Burning Man.

Oh thank Christ for that, I might go again soon.

My wife's gone last few years, her group has their own camp.

The weather probably impacting it.

While not as bad as the media reports made it seam, the 2023 rain made it pretty dismal.

She kinda regretting going this year (still planning to) cause of it, with a chance of rain.
