"Isn't that the thing in the desert for young people on drugs?" My mother-in-law probed when I asked her to stay with our teenage son while my husband and I went to Burning Man.
I needed sun protection, and I couldn't look plain. "Radical self-expression" is one of the core principles. I bedazzled a hat with ribbon, feathers, and gold paper.
Upon my arrival, the Burning Man greeter expressed utter disbelief that I would bring feathers. Worse than plain? Apparently, feathers. They create "moop," Burning Man lingo for litter.
There is not a lot that a margarita can’t fix, and that was the perfect remedy for my worries. It helped me loosen up and embrace the experience.
