I'll probably get flamed for this but I'm going to say it anyway since it looks like just about everyone here is planning to go but nobody has actually went so far. I'm only speaking for myself of course, but personally, I don't know anyone cool who has ever gone to Burning Man. I know people online who want to go (like the people in this thread) and I know people online who said they've been there or had friends go but I've never met anyone IRL whose opinion I trust tell me they have gone. It seems that IRL the only people I meet who have gone and who suggest I go are the wanna-bes and the overly "alternative" people. These are the same people I've learned not to trust on other issues of taste such as books, movies and music so I'm guessing that their positive opinions of Burning Man are also questionable.
I'm not attacking anybody and like I said, I know I'm going to get flamed for my opinion. I'm not saying that only poseurs go to Burning Man or that if you want to go that you're a poseur....but I am saying that everyone who told me it was good are people I regard as poseurs and I've learned not to trust their opinions on what is "cool".
