ASK THE MOUSE
The Playa-Info-maniac Mouse (& Mini-Mouse) will be scurrying about Burning Man Headquarters during the Open House with the Man's head in her cute little paws, collecting YOUR questions for the MAN. Sounds surreal? Of course it does - it's Burning Man! A panel of Burning Man staffers will convene to answer all questions at the end of the day.
