BURNING MAN 2009



For those of you who think Ultra Music Fest is something to marvel at, behold! Imagine a place the size of a small city (yes, THAT huge) with endless people, great energy, even better music, and the freedom to roam where you please with no hassle. Look no further! Burning Man Festival is held in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, otherwise known as "the playa" to those who know of this mysterious, intriguing, and captivating week-long world. People travel far and long to see the wonders that come together for the adventure. Whether you're on your RV, cruising on your bake, or just plain taking a hike and going wherever the wind takes you, it is sure to be an unforgettable experience. Temporary monuments are built for people to climb and journey on, strategical statues lit up in all directions shine the night sky, and vendors sell everything from food to jewelry on various locations of this "playa". So why is it called "Burning Man"? On the last day of the festival, the huge "man" statue is...well, burned. According to reports, last year's fest was cut short because some moron burned it before time. I`m sure he feels like an ass. But this year gatherers made sure that did not happen! Mind you, I myself have never been there. After these pictures, I`m hoping my posse is convinced that this is one trip we must take!
