I just spent over one hour on the phone, with Century link who was working dilligently with me to get to Actiontec (the maker of the router given to me by century link), who told me “the 3g Microcell is not compatible with the Actiontec PK 5000 router. Translation….EPIC FAILURE on both ATT and Actiontec…..

VERY FRUSTRATED!!!

They might improvise new art, they might overturn the established rituals and hierarchies, they might lose it with the cops and start a f…n riot.

It might be interesting to see what happens.

We need to trust that the Burner Community will give back and provide what the organization and the playa needs. Gifting 80% of tickets to returning Burners is a great way to keep the frustrations at bay and build a stronger community. Ticketholders will understand that if they want to keep this magical world alive they must maintain it. And each person should only be able to receive a ticket for themselves.

Once the returning community is in place, the community that must take the most time to plan, build, and create for the event, it is at this point that you take the remaining 20% of tickets and distribute them to newcomers or re-born burners. Newcomers need to understand the honor of becoming part of the ranks of an established community. As on the playa, we expect nothing out of the virgins except to try and give back with their time and cleaning up MOOP. We can’t expect newcomers to understand our gift process immediately and not try to take advantage of the system at first, so charge a ticket price for these tickets.

Every year it seems the gift principles we learn at Burning Man exist only on the playa because the people who run BM have not taken the leap of faith to incorporate it into the entrance process in the default world. Do something to truly shock the world and give away the tickets so we can show the world that Burners truly know how to give back in order to maintain their community.
