Burning Man is an art festival that takes place on a dried lake bed in the desert at altitude in Nevada, USA. 30-50,000 people create a city, Black Rock City, for one week, and brave the elements (30-45 Celsius, 0% humidity)and each other. I is not a party per say but you can party your arse off 24-7 if you so desire as there are many many many sound systems, some that are simply massive. There's also vast amounts of installation and interactive art, it's really a photographers wet dream.

I condensed a huge pile of photos from our trip last summer and put them online if anyone is interested:

Hey I thought I would mention that we also have a nice little stockpile of music free to download on our site: www.area709.com. Once you are registered (there is no fee of course) you can nab mixes of a variety of genres: psytrance, psyprog, progressive (house/trance/breaks), downtempo, psydub, psydm, ambient, some atmospheric drum and bass. We have put a lot of love into those mixes, so feel free to dive in and enjoy!!

It's only a month away!!

I have a ticket yet no plan as of yet. I was de-virginized last year, can't imagine not making it now. Hopefully I can make my way into a camp soon. I will definitely check out Greem Moon when I'm there!

If you happen to know anyone who needs or wants to fill spots--let me know.

You could very easily just show up at the gates and you would be taken in in no time by a camp!! That would be a pretty great adventure actually... just make a sign and you are all set. I bet you'd meet some pretty fantastic people like that.
