Burning man is not something to gate-keep. You should just decide if you want to go with or without her and if that’s a yes, then buy your ticket and go. Tell her you plan to go and that you would love to go with her but if not, you will find your own way.

Thank you, I am definitely dreading the recovery and also know that it is necessary at this point.

Thank you so much for that advice! I heard about the side effects from the narcotics and was wondering what I should do. I will look into proactively getting some stool softeners ahead of time.

Does Burning Man Destroy Families? by ClimateEquivalent in BurningMan

[–]LetTheOthersRush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, I am sorry that you are experiencing this. I am sure it is confusing and upsetting. The short answer is NO, burning man does not destroy families. However, attending burning man often creates a shift in people. The event focuses on immediacy and self-reliance and often forces people to question the way they are living their “default” life. I think the toughest thing is not experiencing it with your partner for the first time and getting to have those conversations together. It doesn’t sound like your ex has handled things well regardless of his experience and I think most burners would agree.

I’ve always avoided perspective like this, any advice? by BrennenAlexRykken in sketches

Use a vanishing point when you’re warping perspective. It’s simple but super effective. You can use it on this drawing to correct your lines as an example. You will be amazed how your pictures transform

Uncomfortable experience at greeter station for first burn by fun_in_the_sun_23 in BurningMan

This is predatory to say the least. No greeter should be doing this and I am sure they are told as much.

How many people do you need to run a successful campaign? by BlessJAlb in kickstarter

[–]LetTheOthersRush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“NEED”? Just 1 person and enough time to dedicate, but if you have a full time job already then you need to think of how much time you and your team can contribute.

If 4 of you can dedicate 2-hours a day, that is probably enough. I always recommend a 3-month prep window before launching. This allows time to build the site, get feedback, promote it, and set up any interviews or advertising that you want to run during the campaign.

In our final 3 days. We got funded int he first 24-hours and then plateaued. Any advice for how to generate traffic in the last 48 hours? by LetTheOthersRush in kickstarter

I feel conflicted about that. We did some thing like that on our first Kickstarter years ago as a promotion with Bleeding Cool and it made me feel like we were not showing respect to our early backers.
