…Mike Judge, that is. If you haven’t seen his new show Silicon Valley check it out, it’s hilarious. The show brilliantly skewers Silicon Valley and the Bay Area hipster/tech culture, while also giving you characters you can care about and a story you can get behind.
After Billionaire Burner Elon Musk told Judge he had to go to Burning Man, because “Burning Man is Silicon Valley”, the two made peace – Judge featured Burning Man posters on the walls of the “work/live space” that the show is set in.
Like me, Elon is giving Caravansary a miss. There’s good news, though, fellow Burners: Tech Crunch is reporting that part of Season 2 may see Pied Piper heading out to the Playa.
I would love to see the Beavis and Butthead and Idiocracy creator’s take on Burning Man from the viewpoint of its lovably awkward startup geeks. I wonder if there will be sherpas and shark-jumping?

HBO’s Silicon Valley Could Go To Burning Man Next Season
Mike Judge has never been to Burning Man, but that could change this year. We hear the HBO Silicon Valley creator may be going to do some research on what many believe is an essential experience for Silicon Valley insiders.
One of those insiders is Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who derided Judge at the premiere of the HBO show, saying he’d never been to Burning Man and therefore didn’t really ‘get’ the real Silicon Valley. At the premier, Re/code quoted Musk as saying, “If you haven’t been, you just don’t get it. You could take the craziest L.A. party and multiply it by a thousand, and it doesn’t even get fucking close to what’s in Silicon Valley. The show didn’t have any of that.”
Well you know Erlich will be. That dude was born to burn.
