I must, respectfully, disagree.  BM is what you make of it.  I've seen many
people who go to BM, sit in their camps and complain how bored they are.
I've seen people wander about a little and not participate, only to hear
them say it was okay.

IMHO:

 - BM "IS" an audience participation event.

 - BM "IS" a social event (even a devoutly antisocial grump such as myself
has been known chat a bit).

I truly enjoy my yearly trip to Black Rock City and begin getting excited
about it when the first tickets go on sale.  This year I'm finally building
my first "art car", a topless Vanagon with some sort of lifeguard chair
about 8' in the air.  Oh yeah, it'll probably have bar stools along the
sides and a place for, what else... a bar and bartender.

BTW:  I made a mistake about ticket going on sale last night at midnight
(stupid leap year).  They actually go on sale tonight at midnight.

Cheers,

Jeff
