This graphic on Burning Man is totally lost on me, but maybe you guys will appreciate it more. I first heard about the event on Malcom in Middle several years ago and that’s about it. Well, that and my friend posted a picture on Facebook yesterday of him wearing fairy wings, which just confuses me more.
I feel like I’m missing out on something though. I mean, who doesn’t want to see a giant, burning wood man on the beach?
The designer Flint Hahn notes:
The history of Burning Man has always been a complex entity that has survived, nay, mutated over the years. And because of this, it has grown rapidly since its humble beginnings of a simple gathering on a beach.
The infographic poster shows only a small portion of what Burning Man is. By no means do mere numbers even begin to show a complete picture, as that is a history of stories, experiences, and individual tales.
Ok then.

It’s not on the beach anymore, it’s in the desert in Nevada. And yes, you are missing out on something, it’s an experience to be had. ;)

I first heard of burning man while reading “The Google Story” by David Vise some 4-5 years ago. The book mentions ‘Burning man’ as a favorite hangout of Brin and Page and if I recall correctly, they applied this as a criteria they applied while choosing their CEO.
