	Burning Man: What is Burning Man?: 2006
		Looking back over the years, Burning Man made it through its uncertain infancy, then its awkward adolescence, hitting puberty in the transitional years (let's not forget that run-in with near disaster in 1996) before coming of age in those wild and wooly teenage years, and finding its place in the world, and on the map.
