Burning Man
Have you heard of Burning Man?
I have. And I know b-lo has. A couple years ago we met a group of people that had recently returned from the Burning Man festival. They were an unusual lot. Free spirit, hippie-types. So it wasn't surprising that we met them in the glamourous resort town of Lava Hot Springs. They told us tales of their time at Black Rock City, and then performed some Live Art for us. I won't get into specific details about the art demonstration, but I will say it involved a woman, a man, and a role reversal. The most shocking thing about the whole thing was how unimpressed b-lo and I were. I found their pictures from Burning Man more interesting. And when I tired of those, I had to berate their dj, "Jesus", for not playing music with words on their extremely tricked out sound system. Anyway, I highly recommend - for those not easily offended - searching out people's pictures from Burning Man posted on the world wide web. The "festival" really is something else.

You might also mention that we met these colorful folks on a Halloween weekend. Lava on a busy weekend is guaranteed to be bizarro. Adding costumes and anonymity to the mix, well that’s just nasty waiting to happen. Throw in a Burning Man reunion and you've got the makings of an HBO documentary.
