Euphoria 2013; The Advantages of Smaller

was my first Burning Man  regional. It was so small compared to Burning  Man itself, but I was surprised at how much I got out of it in terms of my thinking and in meeting interesting people. The size was actually an advantage even if the event was far less "spectacular".

Commerce and Transformation: Interesting Approach

At present I have two basic sets of destinations for my IFP program that fall under two fundamental categories: Transformational Festivals, and Immigrant Musical Sub-Cultures.

The above is obviously of the former. What intrigues me about this festival, like many others outside the Burning Man and it's Regionals proliferation, is that commerce is not frowned upon. I found the explanation given within the 2nd installment of the Bloom series to be really enlightening: make the festivals a way of life, a true subculture.
