Yeah, I realized I had misunderstood his question (and thus edited my message). Those would be good street names for Evolution, if they were alphabetical. Though 2009 already claimed Evolution.

I'm guessing Rebirth. Since the world is supposed to end this year, it will be the first year without looming doom.

Doom never goes out of style. For some reasons, people like to believe that the world is ending soon. It goes back at least as far as John of Patmos. Don't worry--after December it will only take a few months before people find some other date to obsess about.

i'm glad the OP brought this up.

why does this event need a theme anyway. i didn't notice anything related to fertility so how is the theme even relevant to the actual goings-on at the event?

*holds breath*

*sarcastically* I guess you didn't see the baby art installation, and also that art work that said "Eggs and sperms, meet here"
I kid... of course... we need a theme because that is how you make the theme-making-people feel useful.

So, let's cut to the chase.
Burning Man 2013: DOOM.

Snark aside, I actually think "Time Travel" would be beautiful.

travelling in time works well, it's more flexible

Let's have a little class!

Combustible Humanoid

It should burn continuously for the entire event just like the Olympics.

Do you mean this one? We started this project far before a theme was decided on, guess we just got lucky!

I kinda like this idea. But poor Ygmir will never get his own street.

All we have to do is stick a sign waaaaaaaaay out in walk in camping somewhere.

Careful, the Perimeter team might find you, and you'd lose dignity in their eyes.

point well taken.

How about a slightly different perspective on time? http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2 ... thing-time

So maybe rather than Time Travel, the theme could be... Timeless.

That is super cool! What are the odds!

There was also an installation of a baby with a burger king crown.

Maybe a Rainbow theme?

Amber
Blue
Carmine
Drab
Ebony
Fluorescent
Green
Heliotrope
Indigo

Or, more generally, weather?

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:54 pm

rainbow would be Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet--the classic seven for Roy G. Biv...
Although, I never understand why there were two kinds of blue... You could add on Infra-Red and Ultra-Violet.
Or go way past the not-quite-visible spectrum to radio waves and x-rays.

Or, for weather:
Alto-cirrus (is that right?)
B
Cloud
D
E
Flurry, Freeze
G
Hail
Ice

Most of the weather related words I can think of are so end of the alphabet: Rain, Snow, Sun, Thunder--well, Lightening might happen...

I recently read that Newton was into the number 7, and Indigo was named into the spectrum as a color to bring the number up to a pleasing 7. I've also read that Orange and Indigo were added later to bring the spectrum from 5 colors to 7, to match the whole note musical scale.

I think it was because Roy needed a vowel in his last name.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Sep 27, 2012 3:04 pm

All of those at once. Newton could have liked seven because back then we had seven planets. Or at least alchemcy did. All that mystic 7 stuff pre-dated the enlightenment by millienia. Or at least centurys.

I had a dream about being at the burn where 1/4 mile around the man in a circle was a pool and they made a lightning storm to ignite the man... don't know that we'll get quite there, but, I do feel water will be at the pinnacle of 2013's theme.

That sounds amazing...

At 1/4" of depth, that's 15.6 million cubic feet of water. That weighs in at 973.8 million pounds.

If attendance is 60,000 next year, we're each responsible for 16,000 lbs of water, or just shy of 2,000 gallons per person. (At a guess, and from poking around... the roving hippie baths contain 3,000 gallons.)
