So, during that most recent date I posted about, I was pretty much sold on going to the Alchemy Burn, which is basically the Georgia version of Burning Man. My impression of those things was always just “ rich white hipsters doing drugs” but, apparently, that’s only a very small portion of the whole thing.

So anyway, $117 later, I have a ticket and no idea what to do or what to expect. Has anyone here done anything similar?

The best recommended ROI for that  $117 is to do all the drugs.

You should think twice before doing other people’s drugs. You have no idea what in that.

Yeah make sure no one spikes the drugs you’ re about to take while you’re not looking.

If this place is even remotely interested in not getting shut down, they wi ll have a tent on-site that does free drug testing (meaning  “ testing the drugs for quality ” , not “ drug-testing the party-goers” ).

Is it on top of Stone Mountain? Is the effigy shaped like a lower-case T? Is everyone dressed up?

Run.

Be scared.

Stand there at the entrance, the day of the event , and be scared. Allow yourself to ac knowledge your fear, how your body is responding,all your worries and d oubts. Say to yourself, “Yes, this is me, scared.”

Then do it anyway.

Ive learn ed thats the secret to life. You have to be willing to put yourself in mortal danger from time to time... then know when to take a step back.

You’d be surprised. We have a hell of a lot of legitimate hippies.
