Chillin' at Burning Man
Nice way to take a break from the casinos!

I see in the video linked to above there were some unicyclists around the 1:10 point. That will definitely be my contribution to the entertainment.
Best of luck if you get a ticket.

I've been talking about it for at least a decade but I finally have a group to go with. Just a matter of getting the tickets, which I hear is more difficult that it used to be.
I assumed our AARP cards disqualified us old people from buying tickets.

Pretty sure SOOPOOs Sue is going. Maybe he can check if she has a line to them, or can spare any.
A big part of Burning Man is older men and younger women.Quote: DRichI assumed our AARP cards disqualified us old people from buying tickets.

The ex is planning on going. I think her gang is renting a mobile home and driving a long ways to get there. I have no idea about tickets, and until this thread didn't even know there was a need for tickets.

You don't say. Hopefully they will be impressed by middle-aged men who ride unicycles. I am going with a group of other people my age.

Don't you also juggle? Slam dunk! Trifecta!

Yes! I will have to brush up on my juggling while riding at the same time.

I understand older men being there for the naked young girls.Quote: FleaStiffA big part of Burning Man is older men and younger women.
so you're saying young women go there for the older men??
I suggest you maximize the value of your unicycling / juggling skills by taking it to the next step, i.e.:
fire juggling
That would be a natural for Burning Man.
You might also want to figure out some way to incorporate an "art" component to your otherwise plain-jane unicycle; here is a bit of inspiration for you in that regard:
art vehicles on the playa
At minimum, festoon it with neon-like lights.

Enjoy.
A good question is whether these scalpers provide an economic service or are just leeches.
Regarding fire juggling, if you remove the psychological element, it is the same level of difficulty as juggling pins. They are nearly the same length, weight, and center of gravity. I've juggled them unlit before. Still, I am not eager to play with fire, if you'll forgive the pun.
$450 for the RV park?Quote: WizardMy friend was unsuccessful procuring tickets the legitimate way. Scalpers are asking $2,000 a pair on Ebay. The original price is $450.

isn't there 'fake' fire where it doesn't burn hot?
Quote: 100xOdds$450 for the RV park?
I don't know. I was just told $450. Not that I believe in fate, but maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Quote: FleaStiffI have been given to understand that its not just old perverted geezers ogling the naked young stuff but that there is a distinct opportunity for young stuff to initiate contacts with said old geezers. Presumably this is limited to rich old perverted geezers with RVs and itineraries featuring various California fairs and hippie towns.
I'm filing this information away in my brain in case I'm ever rich and divorced.
The STEP program opens in late April,,, Safe Ticket Exchange Program. Its designed to avoid counterfeiters and other leeches.Quote: WizardA good question is whether these scalpers provide an economic service or are just leeches.
I believe registration is required, not sure.
Many folks from Europe come to Burning Man.

Usually Kerosene or camp-stove fuel (white gas).
I guess life really does imitate art.
Burn, baby, burn.
