On the eve of my Black Rock City Burning Man experience, I feel annoyed. (*Scroll down for your 28 tips for Black Rock City immersion)!

Even sad, maybe.

“Why do you feel sad, Billy,” I ask myself.

I’m getting sick, my girlfriend is getting sick (has COVID), and I feel the sting of losing thousands of dollars to not arrive in a desert to do mushrooms with my amazing hippy-engineer-designer-MIT-brained friends in the dust.

What do I do?

I’ve tested negative four times in a row.

I also made out with my lovely girlfriend four nights in a row.

Spiritual walkabouts happen in life, and Black Rock City’s Burning Man is one of those walkabouts for me.

Maybe it’s the dust.

The sun.

Or most likely, the kindness and love of the complete Black Rock City strangers.

Art, music, creativity, and inspiration are off the charts — I played 20v20 dodgeball on LSD, for Christ's sake!
