Keep in mind that the whole concept is "participants only."

Its not a party or festival. Or a place to take pictures of naked people. It is a temporary community. And all 30,000 people there are responsible for making it better for everyone else. You don't have to dress up or act crazy, but you have to contribute *somehow*.

Its more like a pilgramage than a vacation.


I totally agree with everything you said Hal. And going to this event "did" change me.

OK. One more pic. This is the temple of gravity. Each concrete slab weighs 7 tons. Awesome.
