Nevada Desert Getting Ready for the Big Burn
All you fans of pyrotechnics, hallucinogenic drugs, peace and love, and running around naked better listen up…well actually if you’re a fan of all those things, you probably already know exactly where you’ll be August 31 to September 7: Nevada.
Some 48,000 like-minded folks will hit Nevada’s Black Rock Desert for the 23rd annual edition of the Burning Man arts festival. Attendees basically view the vast desert landscape as a blank canvas, erecting gigantic art installations, performing guerilla theater, and of course singing and dancing everywhere, all day and night, until everyone passes out (which is never). Of course, half the people there nowadays are mostly just there to watch the giant sculpture burn down at the festival’s close.
