I am not sad about missing Burning Man this year.
I was sad up until yesterday when I read that the atypically high amounts of rain has made for a bug-tastic breeding ground, and they're currently inundated with huuuuuge swarms of green stinkbugs, beetles, and now bats. 
The photos are staggering.

I always loved Burning Man because the desert is a blank canvas with nothing there except what people bring. No animals, no bugs, just dusty people and the stuff we need to live (art included). 
It's hard enough keeping dust out of your trailer. I don't wanna have to worry about swarms of stinkbugs and some other bugs that bite and leave welts. This will not end well.
Read about it here... though you have to scroll a bit. (They didn't mention bats in this article, but I read it in another one.)

"Several thousand hippies were found dead yesterday at The Burning Man festival. Reportedly, they were all 'tripping balls.' The one survivor succeeded in using bug corpses to successfully build a dance club. Sources say he named it Buggy Town, and planned to spin only the finest house and techno mixes of music created by bands named after insects. However, "DJ X-Terminator," as he called himself, got stuck while looping a remix of Buddy Holly and the Crickets' "Not Fade Away," claiming he'd officially dropped the sickest dope bass beat of all time."
I FUCKING LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Well placed affection, for certain.
AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!
