burning man

Most of you probably know this- but I have a bucket list. Yes, a physical, numbered list.  Well one of the items on that list is to go to Burning Man Festival.
What is burning man?

taken straight from their website:

What Is Burning Man? Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever.Burning Man is also an ever-expanding year-round culture based on the Ten Principles. What Isn't Burning Man? Burning Man isn't your usual festival, with big acts booked to play on massive stages. In fact, it's more of a city than a festival, wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citizens, who are activeparticipants in the event.
