233--Nevada: Burning Man, Crazy as Ever

One week every year "burners" gather from all over the world to create their own theme camps--their own wild reality called Burning Man. Then, they invite you inside to take a peek.

In a typical day one might attend a hypnosis workshop, then saunter over to the orange party (wearing orange of course) then strip down for the naked tug-o-war and then off to the "Bad Kung-Fu Movie Marathon."

Next might be cocktails at the Pink Mammoth and dancing all night at Lush. Don't stay out too late because tomorrow is the "Great Finnish Wife-Carrying Contest", the "Billion Bunny March" and the "Black Light Body Paint Party."

Everyday there are hundreds of events from the "White Trash Breakfast" to "Black Rock Triathlon" to the "Beginner Rope Bondage Class." Or you can just hop on your bike, and ride into the empty desert and stumble upon the strange and fantastic works of art that have sprung out of the desert floor.

Come see the photos of Burning Man, Black Rock City 2004.
