Sorry for the pot stuff but as I drag things from an email over to my Apple notes, I’m writing things not just for you but for others in the future too as I will put this on my calendar. Cool thing about burning man parties is everyone’s there. Some people are straight sober. Some people might smoke a little pot and do no alcohol. Some people might do both or whatever it’s just like San Francisco. I’m doing some don’t the cool thing is out of the patio, you can go out and meet people and let’s say you are not into dancing at that moment you could still peruse a garden of 50 or 100 lovely costume freaks and chat up people with the coolest costumes
Burning man is absolutely the best thing ever for ADHD, dyslexic, Asperger‘s autism, spectrum, neurosis, divergent, awkward, or quirky alone people as wallflowers can bloom easily in this island of misfit toys, tolerant of everything, including LGBTQ or whatever bizarre factory boat one might have fallen off of
Burning man is so much the opposite of default world civilization where people have to look normal and join, clicks in high school.
Burning man is more like people just wanna be weird and funky, and get along while they let their freak flag fly
For people on a budget coming to an early event before the door opens is frequently easily a good way to just slip in free, maybe carrying a box of decor or pastry or refreshments or whatever that’s what I did for a few decades, and I paid for plenty of burning man events, but I actually prefer to go EARLY bring food and meet people but that’s a very fine skill to have and I had it roughly polished over lots of decades from 1995 through 2020
I am not saying anybody could or should emulate my freaky formula via food, but just to know you could volunteer for an event either officially or unofficially, covertly or overtly if you were helping out people setting up being constructive your presence may be appreciated earlier if you are a helpful sort. Also excellent way to meet people and make friends Network
If, for example, you had a pastry, doughnut, snack, refreshment, fruit, veggie platter, tray, cheese, or other connection in your life, you might be desired, continually as part of a production or set up crew. Many nuances and caveats here. Ask
Obv better to start small and slow meeting people at house, parties, and other events to announce what catering you are capable of then let them decide if they want to comp you in for X Y or Z event in the future
That said, I did crash Nina Hartley Bday Party;
First naked, porn stage star, San Francisco GAMH simply grabbing a red SOLO beer cup off a brick window ledge, and walking in with a group of people like I belong ( Carol Doda 1st topless SF ) Geat American Music Hall SF which then led to two more insane after parties with naked dancing women three in a row free SF events.
This tactic works wonders at some functions. Your results may vary. This 90-95-98% will not work at a club in SF.
Fun, but risky, but fun.
