The gate. At the gate the person searching the car asked me to open the trunk. It had a bike rack on it. I only got it open a little ways because the bikes were heavy steel. He then he stuck his head all the way inside. We had been partying in the line neighborhood that had formed during the wait. Even with the energy of daybreak upon us my grip began to slip. He finished and pulled his head

Opening Monday. We set up a rudimentary camp in the hours before and at dawn. Stages and sets and structures near completion. A huge flaming sphere beckons. Beyond, swings and swinging wooden beds, a big bell cage and back stage hammocks, all just built. An elevator, built in a day by the person who did the LIB Woogie Stage lighting, goes up four stories! From the top you can see art

Been waiting for you, come on in. Nothing is far from the rushing river. It flows through the campground over boulders into waterfalls and swimming holes.Tablecloths cover long tea party tables set with tea pots, large cups and crystal canters. The tables and mushroom stools lead rather steeply up the bank of the river. A spacious way away, yet still in the same camp are blacklight lit heather

The Art and the Land. It was good to see the art; both the art created for this magical weekend and the art that is more permanently connected to the grounds. Sheepytime projected rotating sheep images onto big white fabric walls. To many late night walkers it promised sleep and dreams. For those who could not sleep it showed deep sleep as a wonderful thing even if it was beyond their

Arrival.Leaving Reno about 8:30 Sunday Night we got to Empire at 11. We stopped at the Empire store, bought cold beer and waited for a while. There were lasers, LEDs, hats and costumes for sale. The store owners were grilling on a barbecue and filled up water barrels for people who made donations. People who got to the burning man gate before midnight were directed into a corral and had to wait

Space Pirate GreetingThe gate was down a dirt road deep into the old growth Joshua tree forest of Mojave Drums. We were greeted there, next to the Porno Pyro Pirate Dome. Got a slap on the butt, a map and a blue black Dark Skies 2009 sticker. Took a swig of spicy dark rum and became a space pirate! The Pirate Queen found us a spot. It overlooked much of the city, being near the top of the road

Burning Man 2008.Monday Night.At sunset Monday burners waited into the night to be let through the gates. A dust storm swirled on the playa ahead. Cars stopped. The waning moon had not yet risen. People cut their headlights, even their parking lights. The Milky Way glistened above. "Bon soir," Calico said to the French guys standing on their rented van. They had heard about Burning Man from a

This is one of many videos of the explosion of the Crude Awakening art installation at Burning Man 2007. The blast was preceded by a massive fireworks display. I felt an intense heat from it a 1/4 mile away. There was a mushroom cloud of smoke!The explosion demolished a 100 foot high oil derrick, but left standing giant worshipers. Later a tree was placed amid the ruins of the derrick.

TachyonsTracking the elusive faster-than-light particleIn 1962, a group of physicists made the provocative observation that Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity does not actually prohibit matter from traveling faster than light, only from being accelerated to faster-than-light speeds. This may seem like an irrelevant distinction—and perhaps it is. But suppose there were a particle that came
