I read a very recent article that covered the rich that are beginning to infiltrate Burn Man. It's certainly moving away from what it used to be.

That's no real surprise. This was just the 30th year.

Woodstock was nothing compared to Burning Man, and Burning Man happens annually.

They limit the population according to their permit to hold this event because part of the agreement is everything must be removed afterward and the land must look as if not even one person had walked across it. They only have a certain amount of time to restore the landscape ... only a couple of weeks I believe. If so much as one cigarette butt is found, the contract is terminated for life and a huge fine is imposed. Recently, Burning Man bought a new piece of property near this leased land and they say in a few years they will have it ready to move the city to the new location. It is smaller so the population will be reduced unless they can eventually get an option on the property next to it. The price has gone up considerably as popularity increases. Tickets go on sale on-line or by phone and are sold out in less than an hour several months in advance. A small reserve is held for a lottery held about 6 weeks prior to it's start. I have several friends who attend. Unfortunately, I have COPD and the dust storms that come up daily prevent me from going. BTW, they are in a flood plain on this original land and flash floods have also closed it down and sent people running in some years. No refund when that happens.
