Has Burning Man always been a pay-for event? Sort of takes away the
anarchist image I had of Burning Man (never been there).  100 bucks to
hang out in a baking dry lake bed?  I don't quite get it....I mean it
sounds interesting and I'm sure it's a very eclectic crowd but I think
I'll take 3 days in Maine with Phish, hang out w/ interesting, eclectic
people and hear some great music to boot.
