New article in Nevada Appeal

Burning Man is just what it seems - only better first hand

Most Thursdays Appeal columnists Bob Thomas and Guy W. Farmer and I break bread at lunchtime, discussing the political woes of the world, America and Nevada. Our chats rarely become heated and the world doesn't pay much attention to what we decide is the way it should go when we give it 24 hours to shape up.

But that doesn't protect us from a little backbiting at times, such as when Farmer writes a column about his pet peeve, the Burning Man celebration on the Black Rock desert up by Gerlach.

I thought the only bad publicity was no publicity.

great article - unbiased finally

[Trixy]

Well put!

It's (burning man) kind of what you make of it, like life in the "default" world.

I can agree that there are different opinions, but the first article seemed hostile and inaccurate.

Glad to know there are level headed journalist's out there.

Quel Debauch! would make a great playa name.

[LeChatNoir]

Or "Swell Debauch".

[Ugly Dougly]

"Naked stoners"?
You say it like it's something wrong!

Nice to see they'll publish both viewpoints. Funny enough, he addressed most of the issues I had with the last article in my email to the paper. huh
