Hands down one of the best videos covering Burning Man. The amount of hours you put in to this is absolutely amazing and the final product is always pure genius. Hats off to you Mark and your contributors. Thanks you and yes, the Sky is amazing.
one of the best videos on BM. I loved it and you are just super cool Mark. thank you. odd I lived in Cali most of my adult life (preinternet) and never heard of it. I live on the east coast now at 64 and have no desire to go, but I can and will watch every video I can to feel the joy and the see all the amazing artwork. I love it! thanks so much.
I was there in 2019, but after seeing your video, I realized I wasn't as present as I should have been. Your video put everything into context for me. I love that you featured the artwork of Burning Man in great detail and showcased the artistic vision of the creators. Please make more videos like this; it was very enlightening.
What I love most is your focus on the beautiful souls that come together to make Burning Man come to life. It's not only Instagram models that attend and more Burning Man film makers should reflect that in their work.
"Burning Man" is the most hypocritical, backwards, bullshit event you can encounter. They preach "pro-environment" while literally DESTROYING the surrounding environment with trash. They preach "Socialism" while charging money for tickets and getting RICH AS FUCK from it! You are braindead, clueless, fake, or just inexperienced if you think this is a "cool" festival. This guy who owns the channel is making money from the video, therefor this video in itself is 100% contrary to the "burning man" manifesto! "Burning Man" should be renamed "Fake Man" because it is LITERALLY the largest gathering of fake, lost, and clueless people on the planet... that is no exaggeration, at all... it is literally the largest gathering of people who have no idea WHO they are, or WHAT they want to be, they are lost individuals. Everything about this event is the epitome of hypocrisy and fakeness!
this really for me captures a very holistic view of the burn. It shows the art side, the party side, the side that's missed the most I think which is the showing of what living in that community is like. I don't think I have seen very many films that effectively capture the whimsy and playfulness of the burn either so congratulations and you should be very proud of your video
Such a great video Mark, thank you. 2019 was my first year and I hope not my last. I loved what you said on the beach at the end. "Everything we seek is already inside us", but sometimes you have to go cycle around a desert for a week to realise that.
I’m so glad you got to Burning Man in 2019 (I’ve not yet been able to go)-I’m sure it was a major bummer that 2020 AND (I just learned) 2021’s BM was cancelled. But I’ll be there in 2022!
An hour and forty-five minutes of me grinning ear to ear punctuated with bouts of fighting back tears -- then you were on Baker Beach, and OMG . . . 😭❤️ Magnificent, Mark Day, just magnificent. Thank you.
2019 was the first year I missed since I started going in 2013, that made me really sad. I've been eagerly looking forward to this since I realized I wasn't going to be able to go. Your videos about burning man are by far my favorite, I really appreciate all the effort you put in to making them, they're fantastic! Thank you so much!
Mark the video is... well dare I say... magnificent! Your heartfelt ending on Baker Beach reading Dorothy’s journal was beautiful. As a fellow ebb & glow er I really appreciate this amazing piece.
Life is all about creation and that's what these people are doing. The are contributing to a cause greater than themselves. It's hard for one individual to do much unless they are extremely driven. But a small group of people working together for a common goal is almost unbeatable. I started this journey as a teenager back in the '60s and that was one exciting decade. But I am so proud of how far people have come since then. Awareness is growing exponentially. We are all in this reality together.

Yeah and it will only set you back about 20 Grand to experience this today. It's more of a rich elitist party now. It started out with good intentions.
thank you, Mark, for doing some Burning man for us to look back on for 2020 and beyond...the 2019 burn was a remarkable adventure for me on playa and this video brings me back there again...the camera work, commentary, and the skies were Magnificent!!!...much love to you from Camp Envy
Mark, this video made me feel so many memories from over the years. Got me all nostalgic. Next year is going to be Bonkers! *Fingers crossed* Cheers and thank you.
Oh hey, It's you! Thank you once again for a very enjoyable video Mark. The ending was very profound and I will always view Oz as the Playa and how it touched you. It touched me. Thank you. Stay safe and well.
I always love your videos, Mark! I was honored to be a part of it this year. I'm the tall guy with the beard at 21:52 and that was my attempt at a tribute to your accent. Fuck your burn! Miss all you dusty lovely amazing people. See you all next year
Thank you so much! To all of you awesome incredible people!) And to all Burning Man people!)) Very warm and magnificent!)) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!))
This is hands down the most video ever! I like seeing all the people doing. It is so beautiful when you watch over here. I can only use words to describe it. I like things. I have never. But all I want to do and there it is.
HAHA. You nailed it. Notice how those people (they call temselves 'burners') use such wishy-washy language all the time in connection with their events & what they do. One might think this whole thing is one gigantic cover-up, if we can even call it that.
08/28/2020, the night I would have been building my project: Your recitation on Baker Beach from Dorothy Lange's journal brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful video. ~ Moves
Wonderful video, and an amazing series of videos. Just some quick (hopefully none preachy) advice to anyone who wants to go to Burning Man or if you have any other dreams, don't keep putting it off! I've been fortunate enough to both attend and work at lots of festivals here in the UK both big and small but always had the ambition to one day go to Burning Man but kept thinking there would be plenty of time. Unfortunately I was pretty ill over the last 12 months so the chances of going now are slim (lung and mobility issues and health insurance would be prohibitive). So people, don't put off until tomorrow because you don't know what tomorrow will bring. Fortunately through Mark's videos I have hours of watching Burning Man ahead of me so I can live vicariously through these videos. On the positive side I now have a new ambition to start a small local arts festival locally in the spirit of Burning Man. And remember, live, love laugh, sing and dance. The rest is just filler :)
Thank you soooo much for this Mark! Only just stumbled across this video now, and it really makes for a Saturday night in alone in semi-lockdown in chilly Scotland. Feeling all inspired, appreciating the magnificence of it all. I cannae wait for the burns to be back once more and to make my way over to the big one at Black Rock City!
Mark, excellent job of capturing the treasures of Burning Man and life on the playa. Absolutely one of the best videos I have seen yet, and I have WATCHED a lot! I am going this year, hope to see you there. Great work and thanks for the hours of work you put into this, your quality does not go un-noticed!
Approximately 15 minutes and 39 seconds into the video… Everything’s been wonderful and “magnificent”, and yet, Halcyon, absolutely perfect spot on sentiment, amen… (Or reasonable facsimile thereof)
Wow Mark... the only Burningman video worth watching! Really touching and sweet! Thanks for all your MAGNIFICENT work. See you in 2021. It’s going to be bonkers!
Such a lovely gift; this video. Just the thing to watch on Burn Night. I love you and I hope to see those smiling eyes someday on the Playa. Much Love to you, your family, and all my fellow Burners. There's no place like Home.❤ Thank you Mark!
My only exposure to Burning Man as a concept is through pop culture references, which makes it sound like it's all drugs, sex, partying, and watching a big pile of wood burn. My impression from this video is that Burning Man *IS* all of that, but also there's a lot of cool art and interesting experiences.
So so sad to hear that James Oroc has died. Though I've, sadly, never been - his writing about it all has inspired me. RIP - though I expect he is somewhere much more interesting than just peace!
Mark, your vedeos are what I send to my friends when I want them to understand the best attempt to show "how the burn really feels". youre the best and I hope I meet you in the dust some day. =)
Hello Mark Greetings from Germany Yes I believe I m a big Fan of Burning Man! Your Video and the motion are in one word.. don.t forgetable! This phantasie of this day are the sold in the live! Burning Man must exist in the future again and again... because people need this land of pure phantasie! I dream again of burning men ... maybe i m there if I had little more money then ...good greetings
Children’s dreams to go to “ Tomorrowland “ the Mans realizes that dreams just come true in boring man ..... I have to be there one day before to dead 💀
Thank you from the deepest depth of my heart. To all of your for being Home to me. From Dorthy's Dream Journal. Dream 14, Dorthy's final dream: We went on a long journey together, following an endless path. We went to the city to see a great man. A wizard we had heard so much about. But in the end it wasn't about the man at all. It was the self-discovery and the courage to go out and test ourselves in ways we never guessed or imagined. The wizard man was looming in the distance. Scarecrow felt inadequate. The tin man felt unloved. Lion coward in fear. I just wanted to go home. We asked in unison, where is my mind? Where is my heart? Where is my courage? And the wizard man did the most unexpected thing. He burned. He threw his arms up to the sky, fiery sparks making new stars in the full canopy of night. And then burst into an inferno of light. He was nothing but a hollow wooden thing. He had no specific power. He had no insight. He had only himself, the stuff of his body to silently illuminate us. As the fires consumed him the wind whipped flaming twisters off of his pyre. And the four of us looked to each other. In each other we saw mirrors of ourselves and through that we saw our own true strengths. We grew bigger than the burn of the wizard man. Dancing laughing planning through the night all the remarkable things we would do after we left this desert land. The wizard man turned out to be something of a fraud. But he gave us the initiative to find what we needed. He was a spark, a catalyst, just like I learned about in science class. And because of him we learned that everything we seek is already inside us. The goodness and the bravery, the creativity and love, the resilience and wisdom. Sometimes I may need this dreamworld to remember we have it. But I don't need this desert to keep it. It's here. It's me. Dream 14, Dorthy's final dream: Burning Man sky update Baker Beach Edition: The epiphany of ecstasy and the ecstasy of epiphany. Enter the passage into the infinitarium at night. You might see a giant metal octopus all 8 arms aflame. You might see a house sized unicorn sailing across the desert. Or a giant driving chicken lit up against the night sky. You might simply find a whirling spiral of fire and dust. A beacon of metamorphosis that changes nothing but your perspective, Which, Which Is Everything. You might find your way home. You might already be home. After all, There Is No Place Like Home.
@kozmik__WZRD, did you watch the video? It makes me laugh when people ask these questions without first doing their homework. It is the ENTIRE monolouge Mark recites at the end of this video. So WTF did you even ask that question?
I just realized that I always look at the sky too! In the default world.. I always notice it everytime I’m outside. I have quiet a few memories of magnificent skies in my life haha I never been to burning man tho
Hey mark just wanted to let you know great videos my girl and I saw our first burning man video last week and it was yours from 2017 and it got us hooked watched many more form other years and WE CANT WAIT TO GO and hope to meet you out there
Watching this defo takes me back HOME to the playa. Thank you for the wonderful sights and sounds and much more that is Burning Man, the global cultural movement and community. I have to say though that if it were up to me, I'd say " Let's explore home right now"
Wow, Mark, this was almost as magnificent as the sky (in Black Rock City or here in Portland, OR). And, there I am in Crimson Rose's fire ceremony (white shirt, radio, Lomo LC-A+ camera). See you again in the dust (or Media Mecca) if we make it out of this alive. Or dead ... I'll be ok with Burning Man Zombie Edition.
I tend to value Mark's videos every year to reflect on my own experience at the burn, and while I enjoyed a couple chats with him in 2019, I was not his burn companion. You seem nice though.
I loved this video, thanks for putting it together! All the footage and interviews were great, and it was emotional to hear some of the life lesson things like discovering what's already inside you. It's my dream to go do some Burning Man - some day! I also look up at the sky more in the default world now :-)
I thank you for this. For those of us who have never been there. These are truly my people. I get it. I get the concept. If I can figure it out, someday I will be there.
I know I'm late to the game on these amazing videos, but I had a pretty rough end to 2022 where my dog died (I had her from when I was 10 to when I was 26, I almost can't remember life without her), I went through a bad breakup, and I had to scramble to find a new job after a 1 year internship ended- all between August and December. I was looking for something fun to do that would make me feel spiritually connected to myself again and one of my favorite UA-camrs mentioned Burning Man. Now I'm hooked and saving money to go. I plan to place a picture of my puppy in the temple and watch it burn to help me heal.
Sweet. As a life-long "not dog person" I have finally been coaxed into having a puppy and it's been a pretty great experience (and/despite a lot of peeing on the floor...). Hope you make it out there...
I just watched this last night,How many years have you been going to this fantastic Burning Man?I always watch the Burning Man videos every year on UA-cam & yours are always the best!I am a big fan,My hubby & I plan on doing this sometime!Burning Man is a place of happyness & tears.I say tears because for one the temple & just find this whole festival moving. Thanks for sharing your videos!!
We the people All over the world Needs Burning Man Back !!! Now !!! Today in 2021, we need you so bad, it's like everything has been fractured, broken into factions that don't promote peace, but violence. Burning Man, We Need You, show us how it is to be human again, to peacefully interact with one another and enjoy every moment. May your light never go out.
Hands down one of the best videos covering Burning Man. The amount of hours you put in to this is absolutely amazing and the final product is always pure genius. Hats off to you Mark and your contributors. Thanks you and yes, the Sky is amazing.
Cheers! And watch the skies!
Mark Day a tad bit Smokey right now.
@@markdaycomedy What's up for 2021?
i agree.. quite extraordinary! i actually caught a whiff of patchoulie there at the far out ending with the couple in front of the green leaves :D
Sad but a vaccine is on it's way! :)

Me too . I'm watching bm VIDEOS to find empowerment to go now this year..want to join me?
What I love most is your focus on the beautiful souls that come together to make Burning Man come to life. It's not only Instagram models that attend and more Burning Man film makers should reflect that in their work.
Cheers - glad you enjoyed it
"Burning Man" is the most hypocritical, backwards, bullshit event you can encounter.
They preach "pro-environment" while literally DESTROYING the surrounding environment with trash.
They preach "Socialism" while charging money for tickets and getting RICH AS FUCK from it!
You are braindead, clueless, fake, or just inexperienced if you think this is a "cool" festival.
This guy who owns the channel is making money from the video, therefor this video in itself is 100% contrary to the "burning man" manifesto!
"Burning Man" should be renamed "Fake Man" because it is LITERALLY the largest gathering of fake, lost, and clueless people on the planet... that is no exaggeration, at all...
it is literally the largest gathering of people who have no idea WHO they are, or WHAT they want to be, they are lost individuals.
Everything about this event is the epitome of hypocrisy and fakeness!
That's the most hypocritical thing ever but ok
Let’s not forget the Snappers and the Tockers. 😂
this really for me captures a very holistic view of the burn. It shows the art side, the party side, the side that's missed the most I think which is the showing of what living in that community is like. I don't think I have seen very many films that effectively capture the whimsy and playfulness of the burn either so congratulations and you should be very proud of your video
If i gotta go to the camp meeting, you gotta go to the camp meeting!
Such a great video Mark, thank you. 2019 was my first year and I hope not my last. I loved what you said on the beach at the end. "Everything we seek is already inside us", but sometimes you have to go cycle around a desert for a week to realise that.
Those were the words in the book, i just found them and read them!
@@markday5550 Well i'm glad you did, because I never found the book!
I’m so glad you got to Burning Man in 2019 (I’ve not yet been able to go)-I’m sure it was a major bummer that 2020 AND (I just learned) 2021’s BM was cancelled.
But I’ll be there in 2022!
An hour and forty-five minutes of me grinning ear to ear punctuated with bouts of fighting back tears -- then you were on Baker Beach, and OMG . . . 😭❤️ Magnificent, Mark Day, just magnificent. Thank you.

Wow, I love the ending Mark! Beautiful video, hope to see you in the dust this year
Oh hey, It's you! Thank you once again for a very enjoyable video Mark. The ending was very profound and I will always view Oz as the Playa and how it touched you. It touched me. Thank you. Stay safe and well.
Thanks again, Mark. Just perfect. We screened at our house with April and Todd. Missing you and the Magick.
I always love your videos, Mark! I was honored to be a part of it this year. I'm the tall guy with the beard at 21:52 and that was my attempt at a tribute to your accent. Fuck your burn! Miss all you dusty lovely amazing people. See you all next year
Magnificent effort from another Scottish guy

THanks -- I had to run through it a few times before I could get to the end without choking a few things down.....
Thank You Mark Day. You and your video makes my heart smile.
Wonderful video, and an amazing series of videos. Just some quick (hopefully none preachy) advice to anyone who wants to go to Burning Man or if you have any other dreams, don't keep putting it off! I've been fortunate enough to both attend and work at lots of festivals here in the UK both big and small but always had the ambition to one day go to Burning Man but kept thinking there would be plenty of time.

All documentaries should be this complete and honest. You honor the spirit by your honesty in portraying it.
Thank you soooo much for this Mark! Only just stumbled across this video now, and it really makes for a Saturday night in alone in semi-lockdown in chilly Scotland. Feeling all inspired, appreciating the magnificence of it all. I cannae wait for the burns to be back once more and to make my way over to the big one at Black Rock City!
Mark, excellent job of capturing the treasures of Burning Man and life on the playa. Absolutely one of the best videos I have seen yet, and I have WATCHED a lot! I am going this year, hope to see you there. Great work and thanks for the hours of work you put into this, your quality does not go un-noticed!
Always good to see what you see, Mark Day. Thank you for the gift.
Wow, Mark. What a beautiful...er...magnificent video!!! Thank you for sharing. I'm truly touched. Reminding myself that I am HOME now. Xox
I look forward to your Burning Man videos every year! Hope to see you in the dust next year. ❤️
Burning Man is dead. Let's just pray our grandkids rediscover Burning Man once COVID is all but forgotten about.
Thank you Mark This is making me sad... but also just what I need this week. Thank you!
I look forward to your 24 hours at Burning man videos every year thank you for sharing your wonderful gift.
Approximately 15 minutes and 39 seconds into the video… Everything’s been wonderful and “magnificent”, and yet, Halcyon, absolutely perfect spot on sentiment, amen… (Or reasonable facsimile thereof)
Gale's dream journal gave me chills. This was a great video, thanks for sharing
Wow Mark... the only Burningman video worth watching! Really touching and sweet! Thanks for all your MAGNIFICENT work. See you in 2021. It’s going to be bonkers!
Been to glasto five times I think it's time I go to burning 🔥 thanks for this incredible insight Mark 🔥👍
Great stuff. From an old weirdie raver sitting in South Wales, thanks for another great little movie of the dream I have every year. 👍
Excellent work Mark! You have captured the magic. Profound ending. See you on the bulb!
Just one time...
and i can die happy
Go 2021, it'll be unofficial but that's what makes it magic
Indeed, not everyone survives that event.
YES YES. The side-by-side format in the Artists' Interviews is beautiful... Brilliant. BEST of the BEST :)
Such a lovely gift; this video. Just the thing to watch on Burn Night. I love you and I hope to see those smiling eyes someday on the Playa. Much Love to you, your family, and all my fellow Burners. There's no place like Home.❤ Thank you Mark!
Thank you Mark, perfect hour and 46 minutes for this pretty arse year. I’m off to find my magnificence!
Man I’m hoping to go to my first burn 2022!!
A lot of fun for bike tires and glitter. Bravo!
I’ve got a feeling this video is going to make me cry.
Usually that only happens when I watch the notebook.
What a beautiful closing to this Mark. Wow. Thank you for this!
Thanks a lot, Mark & everyone who worked on this video! We've enjoyed watching it. Greetings from Russia!
This is a very special event I love it the art is unique and you can sense the positive and creative energy all over the place 👍🙂🌍❤️ 🔥
God bless you Mark been two years since I’ve been back to the playa and I miss it dearly. Can’t wait to go home 2021
Just so great to 'be' there again...see you around, and around
Thank you! I’m going this year for the first time, so this was amazing.
How was your Burn? My last Burn was this one (in the vid)
I really love the music at the beginning great video. I'm soooo going to burning man now because of this video. Excellent work Mark
Thank you! I love seeing your videos every year and this one really hit me in my feels. I hope to run into you on the playa eventually!
My only exposure to Burning Man as a concept is through pop culture references, which makes it sound like it's all drugs, sex, partying, and watching a big pile of wood burn. My impression from this video is that Burning Man *IS* all of that, but also there's a lot of cool art and interesting experiences.
This video makes me actually want to go to Burning Man
It's all that, and so much more. But when you learn what that 'more' is actually about, you may want to reconsider your desire to join them. Or not.
So so sad to hear that James Oroc has died. Though I've, sadly, never been - his writing about it all has inspired me.
RIP - though I expect he is somewhere much more interesting than just peace!
Mark, your vedeos are what I send to my friends when I want them to understand the best attempt to show "how the burn really feels". youre the best and I hope I meet you in the dust some day. =)
Hello Mark Greetings from Germany Yes I believe I m a big Fan of Burning Man! Your Video and the motion are in one word.. don.t forgetable! This phantasie of this day are the sold in the live! Burning Man must exist in the future again and again... because people need this land of pure phantasie! I dream again of burning men ... maybe i m there if I had little more money then ...good greetings
What a wonderful video. A beautiful capture of incredible dreams and things and inspirations and imaginations.
Children’s dreams to go to “ Tomorrowland “ the Mans realizes that dreams just come true in boring man ..... I have to be there one day before to dead 💀
I love you Mark. Highlight of my year watching this. Thank you.
Thank you from the deepest depth of my heart. To all of your for being Home to me.
From Dorthy's Dream Journal.
Dream 14, Dorthy's final dream:
We went on a long journey together, following an endless path.
We went to the city to see a great man.
A wizard we had heard so much about.
But in the end it wasn't about the man at all.
It was the self-discovery and the courage to go out and test ourselves in ways we never guessed or imagined.
The wizard man was looming in the distance.
Scarecrow felt inadequate.
The tin man felt unloved.
Lion coward in fear.
I just wanted to go home.
We asked in unison, where is my mind?
Where is my heart? Where is my courage?
And the wizard man did the most unexpected thing.
He burned.
He threw his arms up to the sky, fiery sparks making new stars in the full canopy of night.
And then burst into an inferno of light.
He was nothing but a hollow wooden thing.
He had no specific power.
He had no insight.
He had only himself, the stuff of his body to silently illuminate us.
As the fires consumed him the wind whipped flaming twisters off of his pyre.
And the four of us looked to each other.
In each other we saw mirrors of ourselves and through that we saw our own true strengths.
We grew bigger than the burn of the wizard man.
Dancing laughing planning through the night all the remarkable things we would do after we left this desert land.
The wizard man turned out to be something of a fraud.
But he gave us the initiative to find what we needed.
He was a spark, a catalyst, just like I learned about in science class.
And because of him we learned that everything we seek is already inside us.
The goodness and the bravery, the creativity and love, the resilience and wisdom.
Sometimes I may need this dreamworld to remember we have it.
But I don't need this desert to keep it.
It's here.
It's me.
Dream 14, Dorthy's final dream:
Burning Man sky update Baker Beach Edition:
The epiphany of ecstasy and the ecstasy of epiphany.
Enter the passage into the infinitarium at night.
You might see a giant metal octopus all 8 arms aflame.
You might see a house sized unicorn sailing across the desert.
Or a giant driving chicken lit up against the night sky.
You might simply find a whirling spiral of fire and dust.
A beacon of metamorphosis that changes nothing but your perspective,
Which,
Which Is Everything.
You might find your way home.
You might already be home.
After all,
There Is No Place Like Home.
Which is EVERYTHING.
@kozmik__WZRD, did you watch the video? It makes me laugh when people ask these questions without first doing their homework. It is the ENTIRE monolouge Mark recites at the end of this video. So WTF did you even ask that question?

Thank you so much for sharing this
Joshua Winslow you’re welcome. I listened to Mark over and over until I got every word down correctly. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I just realized that I always look at the sky too! In the default world.. I always notice it everytime I’m outside. I have quiet a few memories of magnificent skies in my life haha I never been to burning man tho
It is amazing to see the effort you put down to make this. A great testimony of life on the playa!
Hey mark just wanted to let you know great videos my girl and I saw our first burning man video last week and it was yours from 2017 and it got us hooked watched many more form other years and WE CANT WAIT TO GO and hope to meet you out there
Beautiful just beautiful. Dorothy was so perceptive. 💗
Mark! We loved your improv song at the piano!! 🤣 Stellar vid mate! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watching this defo takes me back HOME to the playa. Thank you for the wonderful sights and sounds and much more that is Burning Man, the global cultural movement and community. I have to say though that if it were up to me, I'd say " Let's explore home right now"
Wow, Mark, this was almost as magnificent as the sky (in Black Rock City or here in Portland, OR). And, there I am in Crimson Rose's fire ceremony (white shirt, radio, Lomo LC-A+ camera).
See you again in the dust (or Media Mecca) if we make it out of this alive. Or dead ... I'll be ok with Burning Man Zombie Edition.
I searched so long for that song ""Out of the Skies, Under the Earth" by Chris Zabriskie" really calming, I love it. Chris Zabriskie is the best.
Thanks for the memories! 🔥
I tend to value Mark's videos every year to reflect on my own experience at the burn, and while I enjoyed a couple chats with him in 2019, I was not his burn companion. You seem nice though.
So many look high on ecstasy
Is this zen or budist or WTH
If alien tourists come to this planet, this is probably where you will find them. :D That festival looks soo awesome!
Opening with footage that you paid for... welcome to modern Burning Man!
I loved this video, thanks for putting it together! All the footage and interviews were great, and it was emotional to hear some of the life lesson things like discovering what's already inside you. It's my dream to go do some Burning Man - some day! I also look up at the sky more in the default world now :-)
Watching and reminiscing... Hope to see you next year!! 💕💕
Thanks for your art Mark. Well done!
MIke, long time no see, glad you enjoyed it....

Thank you Mark, love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
One of the best videos I've seen from a private individual.....
Awesome, Thank You So Much for Sharing!!!
I thank you for this. For those of us who have never been there. These are truly my people. I get it. I get the concept. If I can figure it out, someday I will be there.
Just make sure you don't end up as being one of the art exhibits if you ever make it there.
Mark, thanks for putting me in your last vid and I hope I run into you again this year!
Very nice. I have now heard the voice of Robert Burns from Baker Beach.
Thank you, Mark. Definitely needed this right now.
I know I'm late to the game on these amazing videos, but I had a pretty rough end to 2022 where my dog died (I had her from when I was 10 to when I was 26, I almost can't remember life without her), I went through a bad breakup, and I had to scramble to find a new job after a 1 year internship ended- all between August and December. I was looking for something fun to do that would make me feel spiritually connected to myself again and one of my favorite UA-camrs mentioned Burning Man. Now I'm hooked and saving money to go. I plan to place a picture of my puppy in the temple and watch it burn to help me heal.
Sweet. As a life-long "not dog person" I have finally been coaxed into having a puppy and it's been a pretty great experience (and/despite a lot of peeing on the floor...). Hope you make it out there...
I just watched this last night,How many years have you been going to this fantastic Burning Man?I always watch the Burning Man videos every year on UA-cam & yours are always the best!I am a big fan,My hubby & I plan on doing this sometime!Burning Man is a place of happyness & tears.I say tears because for one the temple & just find this whole festival moving. Thanks for sharing your videos!!
Periodically since 1996.... I think 16 times off the top of my head
The sky is indeed magnificent. And so are you.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 UNIQUE, FASCINATING, BRILLIANT, CAPTIVATING & BURNING BEAUTIFUL 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Mark Day 🌎❣️🌀 No Place like Burning Man Homecoming 🕊
Mark, I hope to do Burning Man with you someday! You capture what Burning Man is, it's in YOU!
Apparently so!
We the people All over the world Needs Burning Man Back !!! Now !!! Today in 2021, we need you so bad, it's like everything has been fractured, broken into factions that don't promote peace, but violence. Burning Man, We Need You, show us how it is to be human again, to peacefully interact with one another and enjoy every moment. May your light never go out.

Needed these smiles. Thanks Mate.
Great wonderful sky. Thank you
