Greetings from Cyberdelic Space

This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.

And my guess is that if you're listening to this podcast, at least within a few days of when I post it,

well, then you're not going to be attending Burning Man this year because, well, it's already begun.

All of the really cool people are already there,

but of course those one-percenters who believe themselves to be more important than you and me,

well, they will arrive in their private planes on Friday

when they'll be escorted by their bodyguards to the posh theme camps

that hundreds of immigrant workers have built for their solitude and pleasure.

Can you tell that I'm no fan of the billionaire theme camps that have become the latest rage at the festival?

I can remember back to the year 2002 when we heard that there was a theme camp that had guards at the entrance,

only allowing a few select people to enter their camp.

Well, at the time, we were just horrified at this lack of understanding

about what Burning Man was all about,

and so we staged a raid on their camp and overran them.

But that was then, and this is now.

And since I haven't been back to the Burns since 2007, I don't have any firsthand knowledge about how far the Burning

Man organization has gone to accommodate these wealthy sightseers, but reports keep trickling in.
