    why the outfits and costumes though?
    The event is about "radical self expression."

    some people make sculpture, some spin records, some sing, some dance, some cook, many decorate themselves. EVERYONE contributes in some way. EVERYONE is responsible for clean up, safety, etc.

    the tickets say, "PARTICIPANTS ONLY. NO SPECTATORS."

    If you show up in bermuda shorts with a camera around your neck - hoping to take pics of "weird people," expect to be body painted by the end of the day.

      because the desert would be boring on acid without them?

          Geoff Tate and Scott Rockenfeld of Queensryche made a trip to the Burning Man. They then composed an entire CD abut their personal experiences there. It's called "Tribe" and has a song titled "Burning Man." It's a very cool CD. Grab a copy.

              Very cool Hal, great insight for the bulk of those that have never been, obviously including me.

              Very cool.

                                The camera is a Canon G-5. Love it.

                                The temple is different each year. The one in the pics is burned and gone forever. The overall theme of Burning Man is that everything is transitory. Many people have been shocked that I burned my grandpa's bible. But he, more than most, understands the transitory nature of life.

                                Thanks for the thoughts. Truly.

                                I still have a few more photos to post and an overview of the event that I'm hoping to post on Amelia and Forrest's BlueBlood.net.

                                JM (or anyone) I love talking about Burning Man...looking forward to it.



                                p.s. for the record, none of these guys are gay.

                                Wow. Ill have to read up more on Burning Man.

                                          Pretty amazing. As much as I had heard about it, I had never really realized how meaningful burning man actual was.

                                                  My friends have been asking me to go since sometime in the latter part of the 90's. Everytime I see the pics and hear the stories I can't believe I missed it yet again.

If you want to send a photo to [email protected], we can see if there is a spark (but unless you are Brad Pitt/Dave Navarro realm, don't hold your breath.) I've never had sex with another man, but I would if it felt right.

                                                            If someone told me these pics were taken on the set of the new Road Warrior movie, I would'nt have given it a second thought. But what matters is that all who attended had a positive experience.

                                                            Congrats.
                                                            Trust Me...

                                                            They wouldn't be in my sig if they didn't convert well!

Although I can't say that I truly understand Burning Man, it does appear to be very interesting and emotional. Being able to let go of material things and all of the baggage they carry with them is extremely difficult for most people. I would be interested in going one time to see and experience the event.

                                                                                                  BTW, I admire the fact that you are so comfortable with yourself that you can proudly wear pink. I wish I had that kind of courage.

                                                                                                      They are very interesting, at least to someone like me who has'nt even heard of Burning Man, but holds quite an interest in such an event.

                                                                                                      Thanks.
