Night when the Man will burn in 2008

Post by Jane785 » Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:22 pm

The end date of this year's event is Sept. 1.
Does that mean that the night of burning the man will be between Aug 31 and Sept. 1?
Or between Sept. 1 and Sept 2?

Saturday night, depending on whether it burns sooner or not, of course.

Saturday? The night between Aug 30 and Aug 31?
Are you sure? Do you happen to have a link to some official (on the website) information?

Just an educated guess.
It's just something that happens.
There are more interesting things going on.

Burning Man officially ends at 11:59PM Monday night (Labor Day). Nothing goes on Monday except a zillion people all trying to leave at the same time.
