For what its worth here's my impression written in '97 In retrospect... my first thought is that the Temple Burn, not there in the 90's gives the entire event ying/yang balance...the climatic, manic burning of the man vs. thr more introspective, reflective burning of the temple .

If there are indeed health risk associated with the alkali playa dust, lets put the blame for exposure squarely where it belongs. Namely on the Feds, Bureau of Land Management and the current Bush administration. How dare they grant a permit to the Burning Man LLC, when they know that tens of thousa...

This is my 7th Burn. All the Burns exist as one if you do a mind meld and recoqnize time exist all at once, it is just our need to make order of things and linear thinking that juxposes "past" , "present" and "future". Aside from more ( nessecary) structure, rules, theft, selfishness, greater self a...

we had three bikes left at our camp.....wonder if their owners thought they may have been stolen or what. Quite possibly they WERE stolen, often drunk or lazy SOB's take a bike to get from point A to B and just abandon it, they get a 5 minute lift and someone has to do without for at least the rema...

>Part of it is the flash at night when there's dust. As you can see in the >previous post, the dust really catches the light on of the flash If you lower the resolution on your digicam to 640 x 480 or so (useing flash), it will not show the dust. Makes for somewhat grainy pics, but I got some great...

While all 30,000 THINK we saw the Man burn this year, truth is that there WAS no man. In an effort to conserve resources and increase the coffers of the Burning Man LLC, Larry and a select group of highy skilled computor geeks successfully substituted a giant holographic image of the man, surrouded ...

This was my seventh burn , two years ago I had my decent mountain bike ripped off early in the event (Tuesday) the worse part of it was i walked for two days and my feet swelled and ached so much I finally kept off them, until thanks to Nigel(sp?) and Bicycle camp I built a playa bike from parts.
