I went to Burning Man in 2007. The time-lapse does a great job reminding me of the intensity of both the weather and the activity. The "rules" debate is a long and loud one. For example, someone runs over a pedestrian while driving around at night, so they make a rule against driving around at night. Predictably, a set of attendees start complaining that the event has gone too tame and corporate to be cool anymore. As far as I can tell, this bitching is a tradition as old as the festival itself.

By the way, the guy who tried to get the party started a little too early has been arrested in San Francisco for attempting to torch Grace Cathedral: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/10/30/BAGJT2QQB.DTL&hw=grace+cathedral&sn=001&sc=1000 Wonder if he shouted "Sic semper tyrannis" as he lit the Man on fire...seems just a little off balance. “Judean People’s Front….Splitters!”
