Burning Man at the Reno airport

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this. Boy BM has come a long ways in the eyes of the city!

A)It must have been a slow news day yesterday.
B)They had a huge segment on the news and they did this during Hot August Nights. I thought it kind of odd:

Burning Man is the 2nd largest CONVENTION in Northern Nevada. Lots more fun then the other one.

Even funnier that they ran this story during the largest one; which we, as well as most locals that haven't spent a crapload of money on an old car, art cars excluded of course

avoid like the plaugue!

Actually, I did mention this down in Regionals and events people doubted it would be a real event. HA!

any idiot knows green wood don't burn.

so, by sheer logic, one could deduce that green wood dont know shit about the burn.

i'm jus sayin'...

Well then, why don't you tell us what there is to know about the burn then, since you are so full of it.

Sounds like Hot Sock Night!

Why does a hand up a sock sound like a fist full of fun?

why does a fist full of fun sound slightly x-rated?

I gather the reason for the media attention is that according to the article, $15 million is the projected spending done in Nevada alone by burners and organizers comming to the event. The event is a shot in the arm for the local economy

Jessica Schnider of Junkee Clothing Exchange in Reno said "Burning Man people don't look at prices." Adding they "are so damn rich the economy has'nt affected them."

The economy has'nt affected us (my wife and I) to much but we're still livin paycheck to paycheck. I'm still driving my 95 Ford p/u with a shell to the event as opposed to a $200,000 motor home. Or even pulling a used $6,000 camp trailer. Hell, I can't even afford to get a used pop-up tent trailer for $900.

As far as HAN goes, I hope it gets moved to Lost Wages, as there is some talk of that.

I will be at the airport friday, sunday, and monday from 12-3 if anyone wants to say hi. I don't know Jessica personally, but for what it is worth she does seem to do a good job promoting the art scene here in reno and if she made the comment about buring man people being SO rich i think she made it in jest. I know I am not SOO rich, sure wish i was at times! Anyways....its soo close and I am so excited, hope everyone is doing well!

The RGJ article that was posted is a fraction of the complete article that was in the home delivered paper. The comments by Jessica Schnider were in the 3rd to last and 2nd to last paragraphs and were not included in the post. I did'nt take her comments seriously. I was commenting on what was said and she was supposedly the quoter. I'm gonna take the article with me and put it on an information board somewheres in center camp.

Sooo am I. The first thing I look at when I log on to the BM web site is the countdown clock and I check how many seconds went by from the last time I was on the site.
