Picture a nudist miniature golf course, an
advanced pole-dancing workshop, a motorized
magic-carpet vehicle and a bunch of neonpainted
bodies glowing in the night, and you
may be getting close to imagining what the
legendary Burning Man is all about. Every
year during the last week of August, several
thousand digerati geeks, pyrotechnic maniacs,
death-guild Goths, crusty hippies and too-hip
yuppies descend on a prehistoric dry lakebed
in the Nevada desert known to insiders as
Black Rock City. It’s not the ideal place to
consume a heady cocktail of alcohol and drugs
– temperatures can exceed 100°F by day and
the sun isn’t happy until it has bleached your
bones white – but the thousands of anarchists,
deviants, mad scientists, techno-heads, tracedancers
and freakish performance artists that
arrive here from all over the world every year
give it their best shot.
