Looking over the Burning Man board I have to wonder.

I'm curious about these guys and I'd like to educate myself. I've been out of the loop for 10 years. Do you have any good links to their profiles or to what brought on this move to non-profit? It's kind of sounding like someone is profiting.

Don't believe everything you think.

What burning man board?

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

And they have a donation page, so if you are a peon like me, not all gifted like the resumes of these cats spell out, you can still participate in selling out the Burn while spouting the 10 principles, just send in a donation.

I think, at least from my point of view, there isn"t all that much networking at the event. However, outside of the event, just the fact that I attend has actually helped to win business--especially with younger clients/prospects.
