BBC Radio 1 journalist Bobby Friction traveled from London to Black Rock City and, from what I can tell, had an awe inspiring, overwhelming, gargantuan of an experience (as any virgin should). Three videos chronicle his journey. It's a rare perspective on the festival, as being a video made by experienced professionals, and from the perspective of a newcomer, both by nation and the local BRC community. He mentions Glastonbury at one point, it's a massive music festival in England that over 150,000 people attend. What does that many people in a grassy field plus crummy weather equal?? One huge mud pit!
I've watched a ton of videos from and about the burn, and I think these three, concise examples, have done it perfectly!

Scroll down on the new page to find the first video, it's his venture from the airport to the desert.
Of course, the third, "The festival at night" is my favorite! Opulent! Bass Camp! The Rubix! What he says when he's back in London about the experience he just braved is..well, a definite reminiscence.
