	SFGate: Burning Man
		With the roar of a great fire fed by the wind, the 40-foot man that for the past week has been the focal point of this impromptu city went up in flames, a sacrifice to art fashioned of wood, steel and neon that set the sky alight.
		More than 35,000 people gathered Saturday night in a great circle around the Burning Man for which the weeklong arts festival is named, each with his or her own interpretation of the fire's significance.
		Burning Man Notebook articles are vignettes: stories focused on a certain subject that haven't warranted a full-sized article.

	Burning Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Burning Man is a week-long festival with international draw, held annually on the week prior to and including Labor Day weekend (in early September) in the United States.
		Burning Man takes place in the middle of a normally uninhabited desert environment known as a playa, which is deep in the middle of a large, prehistoric dry lake bed.
		Burning Man participants often call themselves "burners." Although this usage may vary with region, a burner is an annual denizen of Black Rock City, and anyone who embraces Burning Man as an expression in sync with their own identity is a burner.

		In the ensuing years, the Man grew in complexity and size and attracted the creative energies of the loose collective of artists and social pranksters known as the San Francisco Cacophony Society, who became integral to the evolution of the event.
		You notice early at Burning Man that the iconography of our culture is constantly set in bas-relief against the apocalyptic desert environment, making all the trappings of our manmade culture seem absurd.
		The Burning Man sculpture hums with electric life, but in the lifeless desert the only moths are the hundreds of fun-furred, and apocalyptic pilgrims that gather around and below him.

	SFBG: Burningman Turns 20 - Burning Man Turns 20 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		As Burning Man approaches its 20th year, Bay Area artists are staging a revolt that goes to the soul of the mega-event.
		When Larry Harvey first burned his man on Baker Beach in 1986, nobody thought the enigmatic ritual would become the country's largest annual countercultural gathering: an enduring phenomenon that has profoundly affected the lives of those who have attended and the social fabric and fashions of the region where it was conceived.
		This year's 20th burn is probably reason enough for us to examine Burning Man in detail, but the spark that really ignited our interest was provided by a collection of Bay Area artists whose revolt triggered questions about what this festival is really about, why it endures, and where it's headed.

		The Burning Man logo is nothing more than the universal symbol for secular humanism.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Worldchanging Art?
		Burning Man -- the massive art happening and temporary autonomous zone that erupts in Nevada's Black Rock desert at the end of every summer -- is indescribable.
		Burning Man is a libertarian utopia, in the same way that Rainbow Gathering is essentially a socialist one.
		Although most Burners aren't old enough to be interested in politics yet, when it happens (next five or ten years) they're going to display the same level of guts and skill that it takes to organize to survive in the desert, and we're going to kick amazing amounts of ass.

	Burning Man: What is Burning Man?
		Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind.
		This site serves to try to paint a picture of the Burning Man experience to those who are new to the project, as well as to give those participants looking to keep the fire burning in their daily lives an environment in which to connect to their fellow community members.
		Art is an unavoidable part of this experience, and in fact, is such a part of the experience that Larry Harvey, founder of the Burning Man project, gives a theme to each year, to encourage a common bond to help tie each individual's contribution together in a meaningful way.

		Harvey says the wooden man who is burned toward the end of the week doesn't signify anything.
		But as it was at the first Burning Man, it is the symbol that attracts the crowds.

		Burning Man Shock: More or less the opposite of Culture Shock, a state of happiness, euphoria and freedom which sets in while attending Burning Man, after one has conformed to "normal" life for too long.

	Marc MERLIN's experience at Burning Man 2005: Psyche
		If you do have cash burning a hole in your pocket though, please give it to the Opulent Temple: their budget was quite in the red after the event, and they put out the best Trance you could get at Burning Man this year.
		This year's man was quite technical: not only was the first floor an entire maze with lots of nice displays, but on the second floor, you could make the man rotate by pushing a gigantic gear with the help of other people.
		Also, if you ran around the man when it was on fire, you probably won't even know which way is north, nor do you have any visual landmarks to tell you at this point (well, maybe the temple if you can see it).
