the only thing that could be more of a waste of time than watching this video would be going to Burning Man itself. these are the same people who love to dance to techno for hours while the world is burning. these are literally the head-in-the-sand people, the liberals who sign petitions and think that's activism. a profoundly sick crowd mired in drugs and sex worship. . . . there is an up side, and that's the incredible art produced by these wastoids. thanks for the vid.
@JockCountry The only thing that could be more of a waste of time then commenting on this video would be watching this video itself.

@JockCountrhilarious!written like a man that comments on stuff they've never experienced, typical of an opinionated uneducated person..haha, laughable comment!BM is a transformational freaking fab-fest. lets not get this jock-wannabe off the couch ,turn off his TV, or take his beer out of his busy hand.BM is for people that to expand not contract,widen not narrow,build not stagnate.I love this vid,its one of my fav BM vids,captures the random moments.thank you for this.we were all newbies once.
I'm so sad it looks like I won't be able to get tickets this year. Have been hooked for the past 5 and it has become my way of life. Was hoping to make the trip from Canada again this year. Now it looks like "home" doesn't have room for me.
WOW.. this has to be one of he most profound post ever. Two comments you made were like a crystal bullet in between the eyes. "It was I who determined those moments" and "nothing returns from the playa unchanged" My first year was 2005. I was lucky to bring my wife in 2006. everyyear since i have brought some of her ashes and placed them in the temple. As a volunteer with the black rock city fire department I have been honored with being able to experiance all that BM has to offer.
Dude - I feel quite similarly, though I've yet to go. I've known about burning man for many years and thought I wouldn't like it but never investigated at all. Just today I decided to do some research, and spent hours on the BM site reading about it, and looking at images and a couple of videos and I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. All I kept thinking was "I need to go this year" - and this year there's almost no way I can get a ticket at this point. :-( Thanks for your effort and opinion
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That looks like a waste of time and a waste of brain cells of people being real frivolous. Why not do something more productive and constructive with your time. If you have to go on vacation, do something better and more enriching like visit Europe (no NOT Amsterdam's "red district") or Machu Pichu.
@WesternPAdude opinions opinions opinions... everyone has their own time... and telling anyone else what THEY should be doing with THEIR time seems like a waste of time... As for Europe, I actually thankfully did both last year (Europe Vs Burning Man). To each his or her own. tomkiesche.wordpress (dot) com /2012/01/08/europe-vs-burning-man/
@WesternPAdude At some point I'd like to see much more of the world... However this year I'm focused on the career again. Selling a script, and acting work.
Look man, I know you're excited about burning man, but stop posting videos about it, and take this one down. Telling everyone about burning man is like telling everyone about your favorite fishing spot, Or telling people the location of the gold mine you discovered. Seriously. stfu.
@theistus on your own history you watched many videos on Burning Man & publicly appreciated them... The number of touching notes I've gotten from posting this has been astounding. And if you think I had a large part in the number of people that have seen it, compare the hit counts to the other videos I've posted. You seen Tedshots OH THE PLACES YOU WILL GO YET? Bet you loved that one.
@TomKiesche hey you can do what you want, it's a free country, but I think you should be aware of how publicity for this event -> tourists, weekenders, fratboys, and jackasses. I cringe every time I see video, news article, public photo set, etc. And yes, I scan bman vieos. I scan them to report them when i find some jackass who is videoing critical tits and putting it online. Some jackass whose coming to bman for all the wrong reasons because he saw some video on youtube ;)
@Bobnerin1 Good for you. Did you get your tickets this year? enjoy the lottery process? Hey, my tickets in the bag every year, so I don't have to worry. But popularizing the event has led to the current complete clusterfuck we are experiencing. So when you complain that you can;t get tickets, remember I told you so. ;)
@theistus Nah. Didnt go last year either. I got everything I wanted and more in 2010. Don't get me wrong, I would love to go back. But there is more in life to experience. I think others should get the chance. Fighting against the tide you are, hmmm?
@theistus you would like to control something you have no knowledge of or power over. this can and will only make you frustrated and angry which will lead to you gesticulating and stewing. let go you have no choice.
@theistus I am very glad people do post these video's, as they are the reason i found out about Burning Man. By telling people not to do so, you are basically taking away one of the best experiences of many lives. Please do not keep this wonderfull and lifechanging event for yourself and spread the word. Don't be selfish and give others the possibility to make a change in their lives. kind regards out of Amsterdam
@BonewitJesse Ah, you have confused commentary and conversation with orders and force. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, including you and the guy who posted the video. I'm equally entitled to mine. I haven't taken anything away from anyone, I'm just having a dialog. I'm glad you went to burning man and enjoyed it. BTW get your tickets this year? enjoy the lottery? popularizing the event led to the current SNAFU of problems there.
All have sinned. The penalty for sin is death. God (Jesus) became a man 2,000 years ago, he lived a life without sin here on earth though he was tempted in every possible way, he went to the cross and paid the entirety of our sin debt agianst God. He died in our place and purchased our salvation. He overcame Satan, sin, and death for us at the cross. Jesus was then buried and on the third day he rose from the dead by the power of God
He ascended into heaven and he is now ruling and reigning as Lord over all of Creation. There is only one God. There is only one way to God. Jesus Christ is the only way to God. He said "I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father but by me". Only by faith in him you can be saved and reconciled to God.
All who repent of their sins and surrender their whole lives unto the Lordship of Jesus Christ, believing upon his name as Lord and Savior will be forgiven and pass from death unto life. All who are not in Christ abide in death. He who has ears let him hear.
This was my first year as well. Hung out with Playa Surfers, they were fun. Worked on the Otic Oasis. Total days: 16. First two days were tough but after that it was fine. Experience of a lifetime!
@robost 16 days? Wow. You must have gotten there or stayed there when it was a ghost town... 10 days and there was a good amount of people the first night tooling around after the sun went down and worked stopped.
You should submit the admission of ignorance to God, not to shamans or sorcerers! If you think playing with some evil spirits was fun, how much more heaven and all he offers. I mean isn't he the one who made it all?
@TomKiesche - I'm glad to hear it's creatively charged you. That's one of the goals. Charged me up too - for my fashion line ;). Good luck to ya & may be we'll all meet on the Playa someday!
You got it. You got what it all means. Had my own first burn in 2011. All your thoughts are mirrored in me. Thanks for posting this. After that lottery debacle, I was feeling a little down - I'm reinvigorated to get back to the Playa. WELCOME HOME!
@culturefreak77 there were several reasons I decided not to pursue going this year, one very big one was the lottery, that indeed turned out how I predicted... but the biggest was focusing on my creative work. However, I see myself going back in the future.
@stra1ghtbananas - thank you, that was a choice... I really didn't cut this to be entertaining, I truly thought no one would watch it, nor enjoy watching it. It really has turned out to be a perfect demonstration of one of the reasons I went to BM... And that was ART FOR ART SAKE.
First burning man: lost my V card, homosexual experience, drug use, first time being drunk, dancing naked and the amazing ppl I met... I will forever remember my first burning man.
2011 was my first year. Blew my mind. Going back. If you do, look for "Brokedown Palace" theme camp, (obviously Dead-themed). Out of LA as well...GREAT vid. You cut this WONDERFULLY. Really fun to watch...
@ejb4501 - thank you, I'll probably be passing this year, as I feel the need to continue my career in the right path, but so happy I experienced it. maybe when I can helicopter in I'll be back ;-)
@TomKiesche Understood. We're a production team, and it is dicey making the committment. Our Production Designer was ALL in, made some amazing art for the theme camp. Then days before BM, he's offered a monster job and simply had to take it. Our camp leader has had a couple shows on ABC as creator/show runner, and actor, and directs spots out of Company Films, and he had to turn stuff down 'cuz he just couldn't say no to the week, but it stings a bit to turn down work in L.A.! Good luck!
@louis12346 again I'm not a champion for Burning Man, but you might research the organization that is filled with Burners, who things exactly like that... BURNERS WITHOUT BORDERS.
Besides it's their time, and it's their money... Let them decide what to do with it. I wouldn't think anyone should tell you, or me what to do with our time or resources.
@TomKiesche haha just playing buddy... you know you get the druggies that say, it opens your mind man.. break down barriers and smash downs walls to bring us closer together maaaan, i was just playing that you had taken a pill and 'had broken down your barriers'.
@imacutemale trust me, I heard that over and over... and I was like... who needs pills or shrooms... just open your mind and break down barriers... be well! all is great! have an awesome year!
@TomKiesche It does look incredible, when im next in the U.S i will look at tying it in to the trip and have a few beers with the burning man and friends... after vegas of course. ;) you too mate, take care.. and keep breaking barriers. 'maaaaaan' ;)
I wished to go to the burning man for a couple of years now...but sadly never managed to get the needed mones together - it`s a bit costly with the flight over the atlantic an everything since I am german, y`know? Do me a favor and drink a beer for me there, will ya?
I'm glad you went. I'd still love to go. The footage you got makes me want to go more than ever. I kinda see it not only as an experience or an experiment, but a celebration for the freedom of life.
@TomKiesche I get it man, I took 2 years off the Burn to get work on track. Went back for 2010. Liked it better knowing reality was taken care of. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
@UnHolyMan9117 - as unhelpful as this might be, I got that set of goggles downtown in LA, in the sunglasses district, and the mask I had owned from earlier, which I purchased through a chemical mask company... I used it to protect myself from chemical fumes which came off of burning PVC pipes... While I was a volunteer designer/builder at the LA ZOO.
@tomkieche I'm under Sara Lynn Weal on facebook. I don't know if that is enough information to find me. I'd rather not post my email publicly. I don't know how to send private messages on youtube though. Hopefully this works.
@rubymermaidgal I got this message, so you can delete it now... I'll forward the info on to her... BTW myself, and the playa surfers are on Facebook too.
@TomKiesche Is that Ali as in Sunshine? Man that chic gave me n a friend some freakin' WILD nights at the Burn 2010 ;-> I've got her #s if ya still need.
Hey neighbor! I was at 4 and G this year and the playa surfers lifeguard tower was my landmark amongst the ever changing playa to know how to get home! I met some of you at decompression this year which was a blast. I am trying to locate a playa surfer named Alison. Do you know if she has a facebook?
@rubymermaidgal done, if you want to include your information, I'll send that to her as well... As sure as I am that you're a super sweet person, I don't really like giving out people's contact information without their say so. Hope you understand.
not even fucking around, are you the same Tom Kiesche that plays clovis in breaking bad ?! just watched this video and then an episode of breaking bad and im spinning the fuck out either you look exactly like him with the same name or its you, my head feels like i just slammed it in a washing machine for three days my brain cant even work out whats goin on
I dont laugh much, not because Im not happy, I am.Burning man transformed me.I had a "divine" epiphany in the temple fire 5 years ago and have never been the same. the default world became the illusion and burners became the world I choose to exist in.Your footage made me laugh OUTLOUD! so many times! I saw myself as a newbie.Its so fun to be a burner, unlike you, I had never heard of it before going! hope you come back to be with us. find me at disorient.love and fire, dr deb
@1drdeb4u always happy to hear I moved someone in any way... but laughs are my favorite... I don't think this year will find me there, but I will most likely be back at some point... too much I need to still learn.
@leefaish YES if you don't like something, anything, walk away, find some thing else... don't get caught up in the negative there's too much positive.
@jamiebellwolf I brought my own food, and I also partook in sharing once I was there... As for the other two questions... Those are WAY TOO LARGE for me to tackle here.
I went this year for the 1st time too... all the way from England! <3 it so much and im not even a hippy haha! i would love to go again this year but wont have the money. I agree with what youve written on the video :)
I can't believe you ran into dave warden at 1:59 that guy is famous, check out theweedreport on youtube or at the dotcom, that guy is a legend in cali! and I'm not even from the area I live on east coast
@desirefirst - actually I would say many aren't rich, many scrape together funds to go... though there are very rich there... but I couldn't tell you who was who.
@imokadi I'll look at it, though I could list a ton of things myself... I'm not a commercial or a pr firm for the place... I have some or many issues with it all as well. But I'm not sure there's things in the world I don't have issues with at times.
Bravo sir.. Bravo.

@louis12346 again I'm not a champion for Burning Man, but you might research the organization that is filled with Burners, who things exactly like that... BURNERS WITHOUT BORDERS.
Besides it's their time, and it's their money... Let them decide what to do with it. I wouldn't think anyone should tell you, or me what to do with our time or resources.

@UnHolyMan9117 - as unhelpful as this might be, I got that set of goggles downtown in LA, in the sunglasses district, and the mask I had owned from earlier, which I purchased through a chemical mask company... I used it to protect myself from chemical fumes which came off of burning PVC pipes... While I was a volunteer designer/builder at the LA ZOO.

Hey neighbor! I was at 4 and G this year and the playa surfers lifeguard tower was my landmark amongst the ever changing playa to know how to get home! I met some of you at decompression this year which was a blast. I am trying to locate a playa surfer named Alison. Do you know if she has a facebook?

I dont laugh much, not because Im not happy, I am.Burning man transformed me.I had a "divine" epiphany in the temple fire 5 years ago and have never been the same. the default world became the illusion and burners became the world I choose to exist in.Your footage made me laugh OUTLOUD! so many times! I saw myself as a newbie.Its so fun to be a burner, unlike you, I had never heard of it before going! hope you come back to be with us. find me at disorient.love and fire, dr deb
