the concept of burning man has always fascinated me--the thought of some 48,000+ people that journey out to the black rock desert for one week out of the year to be part of an experimental community is such a unique concept. (don't know what it is? what is burning man is a good little short explanation.)
i love that the whole experience turns into one big party--there are lots and LOTS of free spirits, hippies, artists, & musicians doing their "thing" in the middle of the nevada desert.
i think it would be so cool to go out for a few days and immerse yourself in this culture. but the only problem i see is that i would have to a: camp, and b: sleep in a tent, and c: use a port-a-potty. (TOTAL deal-breaker.)
i'm a huge fan of nick adams, and i absolutely loved the photos he took at the event:

My crazy bro in laws went to burning man. The pictures were a TRIP. I cant believe that people actually camp out in the desert in the dust.
Doobie brothers.
Crazy - Sean was just telling me that we are totally going next year. Although we will take the RV... I am not about to camp in that dustbowl. You and Russ should rent an RV and join us for the festivities :)
I know quite a few people that do Burning Man. It is a trip. Great photos. :)
I'm not sure if it's at all the same, but I went to a huge rave with about 5000 people out in the Nevada desert one time. It was AMAZING. Well, what I remember of it at least. I won't say why there is a 4 hour portion of it missing from my memory.
those pictures are a trip! burning man was brought up at my work a couple times last week. I would much rather have lived in the 60s and go to woodstock.
