Everyone tries to paint the Burning Man experience as all Peace And Love but it’s really so much more than that. It’s blood, credit card debt, lawsuits, hurt feelings, Nevada cops, stolen gear, STDs, and grudge matches. Personally, I’ve always loved the WWF caliber grudge matches at Burning Man. Not the serious grudges that later get people in trouble, but the showmanship matches, like the dragon grudge match with Draka. When you put on a show like that and do it right, you create a legend and that legend outlives you long after you’ve left this mortal coil behind. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful.
