(09-03) 04:00 PDT Black Rock Desert, Nev. -- Nearly 40,000 people gathered in the middle of the Nevada desert to celebrate as a 40-foot wooden man erupted in a Technicolor blaze Saturday night, marking the end of the weeklong artistic festival known as Burning Man.

Revelers transformed a dry lakebed near Gerlach, Nev., into an artist's paradise, with towering sculptures, flame-throwing monster jeeps and a neighborhood of theme camps providing everything from steak 'n' eggs to pole-dancing lessons -- to help one another live for a week in a punishing desert devoid of water, shade or cell phone access.

I've always wanted to go to this. I'm gonna make the journey all they way from the UK soon. I don't, however, think it's got much to do with this board?

Sure -- Go see WICKER MAN the movie! It's awesome (sit in full lotus while watching it though!)

Er... huh?

I was not sure where to put this topic.....

People are saying that the new movie -- in theatres now -- is a great inspiration for the Burning Man festival.

The movie "Wicker Man" -- I saw it yesterday. It's awesome!

Yes I sat in full-lotus in the movie theatre as I usually do.

Basicaly the movie as about the Old Religion (wicca and psychedelic paranormal Nature worship of the Eternal Feminine as cyclical time).

With every post you just get weirder and weirder.....

LMAO

Wow, that first video was just amazing! I didn't realize that Burning Man was a real festival. .I thought it was made up and a parody on American Dad.

Looks like fun; I would love to go.

Seriously, the burning man is a cheap rip off of an 82 year tradition that has been going on in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Zozobra

I am from Santa Fe and Zozobra is the kick off to the annual Fiestas de Santa Fe. Matter of fact, the next burning is this Thursday Sept 7th.
