Some of you are already there. Not on playa, but in that convivial, sun-baked headspace where the magnanimous packing lists unfold, the camp calls effuse, and every thought carries a teeny bit of dust — though considerably less than those boxes labeled "Burning Man gear." Through the joyful chaos of dreamers, planners, builders, and desert romantics, all moving toward a shared mirage — a city rises once again. So savor the buildup. And you’ll remember the moment the countdown started to feel real. It's 100 days until the Man burns. (Sure, this could’ve gone out earlier... but time is just another illusion.) 📸: Photo by Eleanor Preger #blackrockcity #brc #burningman #10principles #thankslarry #blackrockcity2025
