Hogwash, seriously, yes really, seriously. In 2008 there were rumors of John McCain being on the playa. Rumors are fun to spread on the playa. They go from 2 people being wasted and joking around to someone that passed them in a moment and heard what they said. You do realize that you put Haliburton and BMorg in the same sentence right?

This is how rumors continue on to devolve into lies, innuendo, falsehoods, dis-information, etc., etc.

Maybe you should stop typing until you have something to say that's anchored in fact and informed opinion rather than bullshit.

You wanker.

John Curley has a post up on the Burning Blog where he talks about a special meeting last week at Fly Hot Springs, located 10 miles from where Burning Man takes place on the Black Rock Desert. It turns out that Burning Man is interested in buying Fly Hot Springs and turning it into a year-round conference center.

What if there were a place that people could come together, people who believed in the values and principles of Burning Man, and who wanted to find ways of applying those principles in the default world â€¦ of bringing them home from the playa.

What if there were a place where the energy and creativity and approach to living that flowers in Black Rock City for a week every year could be sustained and nurtured?

What if there were a conference center where thinkers and do-ers could get together to plot and scheme and think?

Burning Man, as an organization, thinks that place is Fly Hot Springs.

>> Ok, it's not Halliburton but it's still an interesting concept!<<

Okenfold played at Opulent Temple tonight.
It was a great show.
Too bad you missed it.

WTF could Halliburton offer as far as land hunting? Why not Pepsi Cola? makes as much sense.

Rumors are cheap.

Desert land is dirt cheap. I say buy 10000 acres of irrigatable land and grow grass. Have Burningman, and then sell the turf off yearly.

Actually, the secret is that it will be in collaboration with the Scientology.

What a better way to go green then to put a conference center far away so people will have to pollute their way to get there then built structures to destroy the serenity of the area!

So why ruin a good thing with making it have a purpose other then It Is!
