Burning the Man
This was posted nine years ago when I was 25 years old. Hopefully I have matured since then!
Saturday night around 9:30 is the big burn of The Man, the giant structure in the middle of Black Rock City.
I’m going to let the photos do the talking for this entry… enjoy!

Most of Big Girtha camp!
We finally got the dance dome set up on the last night…
The camp has already fractured into a bunch of small groups, as it is pretty hard to stay organized out on the playa
Heading to The Man for the big burn!
Fire poi is a popular performance art in the desert
Lights everywhere! I love it!

Well, now he is certainly screwed…

No more man
