Burning Man?!

[Devon Pettigrew]

Hello all. Are there any other ppl who are thinking about going to (participating) in the Burning Man? Either 2009 or 2010?

[Hillary]

what exactly is that and where is it held? i have heard people talk about it but i dont really know what it is other than a festival.

[Devon Pettigrew]

It is a kind of bohemian festival.

Here are some links.

[Devon Pettigrew]

Sounds good to me.

I think I'll go in 2009 if there are still tickets available by the time I can find some people to go with (i'm in ontario. It is far).

WHere are you?

[Devon Pettigrew]

Hi:

I'm in Asia, when is it this year? Tickets!? I didn't know you had to have tickets.

[Erin DeVeber]

it's august 31 to sept 7 outside reno, nevada. Tix are 260USD right now to cover costs of organizing the event and providing grants to artists, you can get them from burningman.com

or skydive in for free (really).

[Erin DeVeber]

Cost of hiring a plane > cost of ticket...

although your method wins for being way more fun.

Seriously? I guess the downfall is that you're limited to what you can hang on to on the way down! You would have to scrounge for supplies once you landed :(

[Jonnie Penn]

i've heard these guys are going to be there this year..

[Jessie]

No kidding? and how are they gonna manage that? Walking aroung in big furry suits in the middle of the desert is a quick road to a heatstroke.



And I'm going to Burning Man! I'm so excited about the theme this year: evolution.
