Tom,
Everything is optional, including manners and common sense. If you can deal
with that, you'll do fine. The best attitude is to check out of your life
for a week and live out on the hairy edge.
And yes, there is nekkid women (and men), lots of drugs,. lots of alkyhol,
lots of very loud techno music, and lots of wacked out people. There is also
more art of both, sculpture uising various medium, as well as perforance
art, sometime you are the unwitting participant within.
Go expecting nothing and expecting everything. It's a trip.
Take lots of water, several coolers of ice wrapped in heavy blankets and
lots of non-perishable food.
