You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

    The weather-related disruptions have caused suspension of the cleaning and emptying of thousands of portable toilets.

    This sounds nightmarish. People will start avoiding the portable toilets and it will be even worse.

    Burning money.

    This is all rich peoples problems now in a pointless and drug induced search for some form of fulfillment, but just another festival chaser with money.

      I don’t know whether you’re referring to just the attendees or the artists as well, but I have a group of friends presenting an installation this year (Conversations With A Squad), they’re middle-class for the most and do this out of sheer passion.

      Now I cannot assure you with the utmost certainty that drugs won’t be involved at all

    What is burning Man? I know it’s a festival of some sorts that’s done in a desert, but that’s about all I know.

    What happens there?
