If there's a story that hits the bulls eye so sharply as Dr. Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go, we have yet to know what it is. The good doctor gave us a wonderful tale that outlines precisely what to expect from life and it has tickled the hearts of many over the last 21 years since it's first printing. There's a reason why this book's sales spike every May, sending every graduate off into the world with a diploma and a copy of the pithy story that every last one of us identifies with. This time, a fella named Teddy Saunders wanted to do something special with the story. He took his camera to desert village at Burning Man and created this performed reading with a number of attendees. The result you can watch here. It's edited as you should expect from a performance like this, and therefore enjoyable. And you too might find that this performance of Dr. Seuss's book read word-for-word by the folks in their garb and props while living at the Burning Man site for a week is simply perfect.
Bonus! You get a peek into just what the heck this Burning Man thing is all about. Not that it'll clear anything up . . .
