Burning Man's CEO makes Burning Man sound like a fucking corporation. Gross.

Allowing all of the for-profit camps didn't give you a heads-up?

That's one word I regret googling during breakfast.

Video games are giving kids unrealistic expectations on how many swords they can carry.

, but don't harm the red dragon that frequents the area from time to time. He and I have an agreement.

Hey DrYes, good work.
We really need the BLM to straighten up and fly right, and I'm glad the BMORG is working that at all levels.

Well, I mean, it is a corporation, just a "domestic non-profit" corporation rather than a for-profit one.
Re: Interview with Marian - Burning Man's CEO
I understand it's a corporation. It just seems anathema to everything TTITD stands for.

I finally set aside few minutes to give this interview the full read-through that it deserves. Thanks for asking the questions that seem to be on a lot of burner's minds these days DrYes. And kudos for maintaining and sharing a direct line of communication with BMP. Your work is appreciated, as well as your ongoing efforts to keep things "weird!"

JENNY KANE, RENO Gazette Journal
RENO, Nev. (AP) — While money may not be welcome in the economy of Black Rock City, money is necessary to create the city.
It took more than $44 million to run the Burning Man Project and erect the arts metropolis in the Black Rock Desert in 2018, according to the Burning Man Project's most recent tax documents.
The San Francisco-based arts nonprofit covered costs with more than $43 million in ticket sales, more than $2 million in contributions during fiscal 2018 and a number of other miscellaneous revenue streams, all together more than $46 million in revenue.
About a third of the revenue went toward salaries, with some top staffers receiving more than $40,000 raises that year.
Though the organization is known for its free-spirited ethos, tax documents also reveal that the Burning Man Project is focused on financial security. In two years, the organization's rainy day fund more than tripled to $10 million.
Information about the 2019 event likely will not be available until later this year or early 2021.
Consistent with years past, a large chunk of Burning Man's budget during fiscal 2018 went to the more than 100 full-time employees of the nonprofit corporation, which now has offices in San Francisco and Reno.
The organization's highest paid employees included:
— Burning Man CEO Marian Goodell: $268,000, increase of $7,000 over 2017
— Director Harley Dubois: $216,000, increase of $40,000
— Director Theresa Duncan: $192,000, increase of $6,000
— Attorney Ray Allen: $185,000, increase of $10,000
— IT Director Heather Gallagher: $183,000, increase of $46,000
— Managing Director Heather White: $176,000, increase of $15,000
— Director Kim Cook: $175,000, increase of $19,000
