maladroit- Burning Man is like a second job, except you pay to work there.

Re: Theme Predictions for 2013
Ratty, not announcing a theme until spring is the old system. It was only in recent years that they ever started announcing the next year's theme at the end of the event. Personally I like the idea of announcing it earlier too, more time for people to consider doing something theme-related.

I know the Trojan Horse has been done recently, and Dan's taking a well-deserved break from big art next year, but man a giant Trojan Cat would be hilarious...

This is my 6th year in a row predicting that the theme will be....

NASA is being coy about a discovery its Curiosity rover has made. Read about it here http://news.yahoo.com/nasa-curiositys-history-changing-discovery-221110775.html. Speculation is they finally have hard evidence there is life on Mars. If true it will be the biggest news story of the year.
With that in mind,

A "Firefly/Serenity" theme? Now that would be cool!

Re: Theme Predictions for 2013
No. I'd far prefer it to keep away those sorts of narrow, modern-media things. If he wanted a more general science fictiony theme, that's another animal. But after that what's next? Star Trek? Rocky Horror? Lady Gaga? Custer's Last Stand? The 5500 of Main Street?

Space alien technology and Kabbalistic gnosticism is going to fit in well with the theme for Burning Man 2013.
