Crazy Art Instalation at Burning Man

So... I can't exactly make sense of Burning Man. They apparently host this "festival" (for lack of a better word) yearly at an ancient lakebed known as "La Playa" in the Black Rock Desert. It sounds a little bit like our favorite pagan festival at Stonehenge (i.e. the worst/best night of my life). At any rate, for a proper understanding of what Burning Man is it sounds as though it must be experienced first hand--given that there are "no rules" except those required to protect the health of participants and each person may decide how to contribute (yes they honestly say this on their website). For those of us who don't really want to journey out to the desert we can read about it here, others can check out more photos here, and for the truly lazy we can just enjoy the photo above and call it a day.

Sounds wild.
