Which regional did you go to? I'm a big fan of the regionals. Been doing the Gerlach Regional burn for many years, so am now focused on the other ones. ;-)
Oh man... Vermont... must have been lovely!! My current favorite is Otherworld, the Victoria regional burn on Vancouver Island. Utterly enchanting. Such a lovely community of people, a small event, in a hard-to-get-to place, far away from everything. There were even whales! Plur...
Been to a few of them then? This was my first ever, and while I'd like to go again, I'm planning to take it slow and figure out in the intervening year what contribution I'd like to bring next time around.

Yeah, I have been to several, and know the organizers of several more. (I've been doing the Burning Man thing since the late 1980's.) When I brought my Dad to my local regional (Critical Northwest here in Seattle), he decided we should bring apples and peanut butter: one of our favorite snacks! But we took it one step further... we made our own peanut butter, and then made flavors! Chocolate peanut butter, honey peanut butter, port wine peanut butter, whisky peanut butter... it was GREAT! And it was all my Dad's idea. I'd been telling him about Burning Man for decades, and when he finally went to an event with me, he totally embraced the whole idea. It was fantastic.
