Burning Man

While searching for interesting places to visit, Burning Man kept coming up, so I watched a few videos. I am not a fan of technology music, but hell, I'll spend a night hopping up and down to techno while twirling some glow sticks covered in dayglo. The acres of beautiful women dressed in grunge help to sell the package.

Not so fast, you senior party junkie! That techno trip will cost you $500 to $2000 for a ticket, plus I think your car needs a ticket, which is sort of necessary since it's in the middle of the desert.

After thinking about this and the whole experience, I figure I can do a McAdoo Burning Man for under $50. First, find one of the many remote and deserted hot springs and set out your powered speaker, but instead of techno, I'm thinking some retro 80's. Next comes my Burning Man effigy; large sandalwood incense will work. One case of craft beer, chilled, plus one legally sourced blunt. That probably leaves enough for glow sticks.

If you are on your own adventure and stumble upon a naked old hippie shaking his thing to Devo, stop by and say hello, but beep first so I can put on some pants.
