Burning Man is a social experiment as much as it is anything else. My first time there was in 2003. Back then you could buy a ticket at the gate and the event never sold out. In fact, we would check the Playa Info tent once in a while to see what the population had gotten to. 2014 will be my 12th trip to Black Rock City and I've seen the evolution of the event unfold. Despite the naysayers, it has not become "too corporate" and has maintained it's core principles and appeal. It doesn't look that different except that the population has grown, the art has become more elaborate, the participants more international, and tickets harder to come by. With growth comes growing pains, and BMorg is not exempt.

2012 was the last great contribution I was a part of when we erected a seven story phallus on the esplanade, in keeping with the theme of "Fertility" that year. This year I'll be part of a much less ambitious project in Center Camp. But as always, I'm looking forward to going back to one of the most unique places you can find anywhere. One week only folks... and then gone without a trace.
