CBS Sunday Morning (in my opinion some of the best netwook TV) did a piece on the Burning Man . . . what would you call it . . . . festival?
Anyway, I'm thinking this is a "must-do" thing in a full life. Has anyone ever been to it? _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

Devon kept trying to drag me over there but I'm to old. : ) I've been reading about it though.

I saw the Man burn in the mid 90's. Takes place on the Black Rock desert. Temporary community with everyone participating and the sky and your creativity is the limit. More like a huge sex, drug and rock and roll party. Hopefully it's been cleaned up a little. There are some incredible "thinkers" out there that put their plans into motion at the site.
It was too many people and too much going on for me, so I haven't really wanted to go back. It was cool rolling across the Playa in my Jeep, on a no road for miles. _________________ You can rest when you're dead |

My brother went last year and wants to go again next year. There's some pretty cool artwork, artistic exhibits, and people wandering around. There's only a couple of problems. First, the fine sand whipped by winds coming across the playa gets into everything. The second, there's really no law there. My brother's bicycle was stolen. When he reported it to the "security" folks they replied that the bicycle was just on a different adventure. Some of the folks there are great though. A couple camped near my brother were leaving and GAVE him a bicycle, a really nice one. Anyway, the attendance in the the tens of thousands now so the best way to think of it is "old west". The only justice is whatever you provide for yourself. _________________ It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -- Carl Sagan |
