>Please explaineth this BurningMan to me. Would I enjoy this?

Hmm.  Dunno.  Depends if you're one of them prudish Christian types ;-).

Burning Man 98 is a temporary art community, created in the Black Rock Desert
of Nevada. An experiment in radical self-expression, now in it's 14th year, it
will be held Monday, August 31st - Mon., September 7th. Participants must
bring all necessities for survival - including water, food & shelter. There is
no commercial vending at this event. We ask that you tread lightly on the
desert and Leave No Trace when you depart.

Burning Man often involves nudity, sculpture, art cars, opera, dance, etc,
etc, etc.  Drugs are discouraged... Burning Man *is* a drug.  No spectators
are allowed... everyone is a participant in the performance.  It goes on for a
week, and it's one of those things that everyone should see.  At the end of
the week, the Man (a 30' tall wooden sculpture) is Burned.

Tickets are $80 per person until the end of day, Saturday August 15th. After
all tickets will be $100 each, will-call only!

Send check or money order to Box 420572, San Francisco, CA 94142-0572. Use
your credit card to order at TicketWeb or call 415-TO-FLAME to speak to a
Burning Man volunteer.
