This 1995 video tableau is the less narrative-y predecessor to Winston's "Just Add Couches" which was shot at the 1996 burn.
Devoid of editorial commentary, our interviewer has a good curiosity compass and gets people talking about history aliens, pagan festivals, femininity, and above all, why they want to come to an empty spot in the desert just to experiment with radical self-expression.
And attendees didn't take the burn seriously yet. ("What do you think this whole experience means?" "Absolutely nothing.") Plus the number of people interviewed who didn't even know there would be other groups of weirdos in the desert that weekend is hilarious.
Also there was also a double rainbow in 1995 (keep your '07 double rainbow pics in your pants, please).
