Attendees were told to shelter in place in the Black Rock Desert and conserve food, water and fuel after a rainstorm swamped the area, forcing officials to halt any entering or leaving of the festival.
“A little over 70,000 people,” remained stranded Saturday, Sgt. Nathan Carmichael, with the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office, told CNN Sunday morning. Some people have left the site by walking out but “most of the RVs are stuck in place,” he said.

Brace spreading hysteria about ebola outbreak amongst loser techies Where’s the struggle session
way ahead of you
when i’m the struggle session
being the struggle session should be considered the highest of poster honors
Good heavens, would you look at the time
Over in the other thread
I don’t understand the appeal of burning man
Originally it was a space for artists. It was a music festival that didn’t provide any music, musicians just showed up and performed so you would never know what you were going to see. Attendees were expected to literally be part of the event. Buying things, from food to drugs, was discouraged. You were supposed to just barter or provide for the community.
Obviously all that is out the window now. Its just a big wealthy orgy waiting to see Diplo.
Ontd comment?
It seems like maybe it would be cool with 20-30 people out in a desert, but thousands? Nah fam. Miss me with that.
The scale of it allows for some really impressive art projects you probably wouldn’t see anywhere else. There are a lot of genuinely cool people out there. There’s just a lot of really, relaly uncool people too. And it’s like the mass center of the universe for crypto-eugenicist individuality and psuedo-spiritualism.
I think the Burning Man event in particular was taken over by rich tech bros who by attending want to be seen by others as zen like, spiritual, and hip. There must be other outdoor gatherings with a more authentic vibe though, and who knows some might even have a groovy dope ass bear in attendance.
The remote event site in northwest Nevada was hit with 2 to 3 months’ worth of rain in just 24 hours from Friday to Saturday morning. More is anticipated Sunday afternoon.
Act of god
Mud-Wizardry was an oft-overlooked prestige class developed in fan forums for overpowered DnD3.5 builds but has now become something of a shibboleth of real world manifestation after the marketeers as Hasbro blocked inventive class builds in 5e.
Maybe ebola really is there
I wonder how radically self reliant they’ll be on emergency services and outside rescue to get the raft of ravers out of this predicament.
Hungry. Itchy. Tasty.
This should be the next glass onion movie
the headline makes it sound like Death has his hands against a police cruiser and is being taken into custody
