jace is pretty right on, it costs so much and is a four hour drive outside of reno to deter the jackasses who come out to steal things from people, and to take pictures of naked girls. last year by the middle of the week i was covering my breasts because guys were snapping pictures left and right.
if you understand the philosophy behind Burning Man you understand that you *ask* to take someone's picture before doing so. this is just one of the many things that the Burning Man organisers are trying to prevent from happening so much because it really takes away from the real meaning and experiment of the gift economy art community that The Playa is.
there are also hundreds of porta-potties and ice brought in daily, people who work for the BM association, people who are there months beforehand and months afterwards.
in other news, i also have a ticket at the gate that needs to be changed over into someone else's name who'd like to go. it's in poor taste to charge more money for a ticket that you bought to Burning Man (again - read up on the philosophy) than you paid, and i paid $175 for mine i believe. if you're interested and i know you hit me up on ICQ or email me.
