Day Four

Today, let's start with a study of the word "metropolis", the history, and then move into the direct and indirect "themes" that evolve from both the ancient and modern uses of the idea itself. From there, I hope to move us into a more directed conversation on the merits of differing participant activities we can engage in while at Burning Man. The amount of understanding we have of these concepts will have a proportional affect on the experience we have at the festival.



Metropolis is derives from the greek, "mee-teer", meaning "mother" and "pole-is", meaning city or town. Literally, mother city. Let's break it down even into more basic parts.....tomorrow. WHEW! Having a family sure can distract when your trying to research and type. Not the family so much as their ages. 3 & 5. Well, till next time.....laters!
