Burning Man is on RantWoman's mind.
During intros at a meeting today, a person RantWoman would NOT have predicted to be interested in Burning Man said she is going "again...next week." Zoom meetings being not great for side chats during breaks, RantWoman is left wanting to know more, except about the schedule.
Turns out, the Democratic National convention starts Monday August 19. More separately.
Burning Man 2024 runs from Monday August 25 to Monday September 2.
Oops. Probably way too late for RantWoman even to think of putting together an expedition, but here we are:
The Burning Man Black Rock City 2024 homepage
RantWoman is not in tech troubleshooting mode, but somewhere on the site, the screen reader kept just reading Article, article. RantWoman is not going to try to reproduce the problem unless there is a clamor of comments from people who had the same experience.
Anyway, the site looks fun and comprehensive.
But here is the bad news:
NPR: Burning Man ticket sales slow
Not sold out, resellers selling tickets for less than half of the original price.
Factors: extreme heat in 2022 and drenching rain in 2023.
Layoffs in the tech sector and fewer people with money for "plug and play"
KTVU 2 Fox on this year with link to video about last year
RantWoman found this site goopy, that is full of things that get in the way of finding the story
The Guardian: flaming out. Burning man festival fails to sell out for the first time in a decade
And search engines can find more.
