why does this make me so sad: sad that apparently burning man really is dead; sad that the comments make me laugh so hard when i'm trying to give up 'mean' satire; sad that 1%ers are so oblivious; sad that we are right back in the gilded age, without the fun shenanigans of prohibition, jazz, and art deco; sad that it feels like DC is filled with people like this now. i'm tired of this 1% society even though i'm in the 10%. isn't anybody down to earth anymore? brilliant writing, though.
We're supposedly in the top 4%, and I don't feel anything close to being wealthy.
I think the wedding is ridiculous, imo, but if that's the lifestyle, then so be it.
btw - Have you seen Dale Chihuly's works? I have - up close and personal. He's been around forever and is nowhere close to "hippy."
