I feel like all the magic has flowed down into the smaller regional burns at this point. Those are obviously hit or miss depending on your local scene, and you don't get quite the same huge community pieces as the big burn, but there's usually plenty enough to keep you busy just checking everything out for the whole event anyways, let alone a thousand times that if you really get involved with volunteering/organizing. Hell in a previous state I lived in, there were a few smaller local burns and then a bigger state-wide one, so even then you could kinda pick and choose how big and crazy of a thing you wanted to attend/do.
I need to start looking at local options around here...
Yeh. I've only ever been to a regional one. It was a generally positive experience. Met lots of weird hippies, danced some, participated in a lingerie parade (fun fact, I do not fit well in lingerie), didn't get flooded out.
