Burning Man Put Out by Suits
Melding what’s left of the counter-culture to an X-Files
aestetic, the Burning Man festival has been attracting left-coast pyromaniacs
since the 1980’s. Located in Black Rock Desert, Nevada (Nevada’s fourth
largest city, who knew?), the annual Labor Day event aims to combine
countercultural idealism and hedonistic creativity :
"From all across the desert they came, with luminescent wires in their
hair or
war paint on their faces. As drum circles pounded out tribal rhythms
and roving sound systems blasted techno beats, they walked in their elaborate
homemade costumes or drove in bizarre vehicles. They hooted and they
cheered,
and most of all they came to burn the Man."
But not so fast…..this year the festival is being challenged by five
local residents, led by garlic farmer Michael Stewart who are objecting
to insufficient water supplies, potential fire hazards and leftover debris.
