This reminds me of being at a Survival Research Lab show and having to run from tear gas or whatever horrible noxious smell all the pyrotechnics were putting out. That was under the 80 freeway in a parking lot in SOMA during the dot com boom. Does wild stuff like that even happen anymore?

Yeah. I was there in 1997 and 2007. I guess I must suffer from old school disease, because it just doesn't have that sense of danger that 90s fringe culture had. Lots of people sitting around in lawn chairs in front of their RVs drinking beer in 2007.

I've enjoyed an SRL show myself. Nothing like the fear of sudden death to make a Saturday evening memorable.

I think Burning Man is trying to capitalistically monopolize fringe culture now. Inevitable.

What a bizarre claim. In what way is BM trying to monopolize fringe culture?

My use of 'monopolize' is not right, I retract that. It does appear to have become a money making enterprise.
