Meh, I can see girls like that in Miami. No airline flight necessary. And she's taken a shower in the last week! Hippies gives me hives. Plus as an old soldier I don't want to have to dig deep into the reserve of zen not to knock them on their azzes when they get cranked up about it. Fake hippies are even worse, since they have all the outward behaviors to ape down pat without the mental reasoning (such that it is) to go with it - so they're even more dippy than hippies. There's a lot to be said for experiencing new cultures and viewpoints. Far leftist hippy crap ranks right up there with hanging out with far right militia dudes on some compound in the mountains of Idaho, however. Read the pamphlet and you don't have to go much further to understand it's crap.

I can go to Orlando for the same crowds but better hotels and more variety.

OG, I'd totally suggest to go, if you're interested. And do it sooner than later- like a lot of things in California, the rich tech startup d-bags are starting to ruin the idea of Burning Man by bringing in entire enclaves of RV's, tour buses, hired chefs, and models flown in from Europe. In another couple of years it'll be like Coachella, with scores of press showing up just to see what celebrities are there and record the gossip, and it'll be another EDC or Ultrafest type event, because "EDM is what the kids want to hear."
I have a lot of friends who go every year, and have for a very, very long time, but they're not so sure how much longer they'll be going. And I'm seriously planning on going next year with friends.

i'll probably do it in the next year or two. I also wanted to do Electric Zoo. I am up here in NYC area and was looking to hit it, but then I saw the ticket prices compared to last year and I passed.

Panzer, where is your sense of adventure? And your appreciation for the absurd ?
Don't become boring buddy. One can get the same level of interaction for a lot less money: Find a stinky bum (urban outdoorsman/homeless person) and hand him five bucks and a tambourine. Oh, and buttons. Have him play the tambourine and sing anything after giving him the money. Then ask for the tambourine back. Give him the buttons to "pay" for it. Ask him to explain about the government conspiracy with the corporations to rob the proletariat of their rightful ownership of the means of production. With aliens thrown in for good measure. If you're female, show the bum your boobs. Then climb into your Mercedes SUV, drive home and smoke some of the great weed you scored while you watch a documentary on the evils of Capitalism on a 72" widescreen TV. Burning Man. Yeah. Sign me up for two of them.
It's a Game.
