Burning Man attendance

[Jim_b]

"Burning Man attendance up nearly 20 percent over last year" (Reno Gazette-Journal, 9/5/10)
The Burning Man festival on BLM-managed lands in Nevada's Black Rock Desert "drew record numbers this year," a reported total of 51,515 paid campers. The festival "features spontaneous music, more than 199 registered art works, hundreds of art cars along with theme camps, lectures, bizarre costumes and general zaniness."

General Zaniness was my commanding officer in Germany.
I'd like to see him again.
Maybe next year I'll make it to Burning Man.

As I recall General Zaniness was removed for derilection of duty and replaced by general Mayhem. Could be wrong, I saw it on the interwebz.

I had lunch with a friend who attended Burning Man this last time. I got to see his pictures and videos. It looks like it was very interesting. He reports that he didn't observe any fighting or trouble, and that the event was very peaceful. The BLM had a good presence, and the "leave no trace" principle resounded throughout the event. Maybe I will make it out there one of these times, even though my reason for heading into the desert is to get AWAY from people!
