10 facts Eric Schwabel humanlightsuit at burning man and Kickstarter

I am re-posting this as people should know.
So I work next to the Schwabel man in Venice and for the last few years I have been witnessing the unfolding of this "project" and I heard quite a few things during parties and through people hanging around.

10 FACTS you should know about the man and the project:

1) Schwabel man brags to raise money for the project and only spends 20% for it. Kickstarter backs him up? WTF? Go figure that out! As the remaining money, stated by him, is pure "profit". I found out that fundraising at Burning Man is for art installations and for example many on Kickstarter there are a few and the biggest one is the Burning Man temple, apparently a huge piece of at, a monument made out of wood for which the creators asked 40K and this guy asked 5K to take photos? Come on guys! What's wrong with this picture?
2) Schwabel brags he spends the rest of the amount he collected for his own personal expenses. Again, isn't Burning Man based on self reliance and being "self-sufficient"? Especially show-off photographers?
3) Many MANY photographers go there, at times in the severe weather condition and do not get "money" to shoot. It's Burning Man!
4) All photos are photoshopped
5) Too much BS and fake marketing going on about this guy (witnesses and proves at hand)
6) What you see of him doing the job on the playa is not what the reality is. All publicity to raise money for his personal use.
7) Why is he still around with all the BS he has created and done?
8) Our neighborhood cannot stand the man and we wish for him to move (all of us without exception)
9) Our landlord not pleased with what he does illegally in his studio.
10) And final: the guy is a looser on a personal level and professionally. Please move out of LA! Enough!

Bring it on if you agree!
