    So, how about flinging Heathkit Sixers and Twoers?
    What a sad waste of a piano. Wouldn't it have been better to donate it to the Salvation Army or to a school or community center so maybe some poor kids could learn to play ? I may be old fashioned or naive or both but I could never understand the whole "burning man" thing. It is touted as some sort of celebration of art and expression that is supposedly "ahead of its time" but all I have ever seen of it is talentless pseudo-art. and assorted garbage. Why not call it what it is. An excuse to spend time getting drugged up and immersing ones self in a sea of decadence.

    Actually nothing against it in and of itself.

    I hear that in the early days of t Burning Man is was a cool event with a lot of cool people who were the real deal (i.e. artists, writers, musicians, thinkers, and other talented people). But I have heard it has more recently morphed into a watered down and more "commercialized" version that draws a lot of phonies and freeloaders. Since I have never been there I can't really judge. Plus, even if I were to go nowadays I would have nothing toi compare it to in as far as past events.

    I've heard the same thing -- kind of a "ruined by success" story. I think there's still some major art there, but the scale is larger (I could see that as "commercialized" because it starts to leave the little guy out). More rules to keep the crowds down. I used to think it might be fun -- not so sure these days.

    Kind of like when they tried to commercialize Woodstock in the 90s. $5 bottled water and $10 hotdogs and no coolers or snacks from outside the venue allowed.

    Yuppystock, Point Pleasant Beach in summer, just add music. My thoughts summed up by a conversation in the real Woodstock movie.

    What are you doing?
    Filming a documentary.
