The Bay Lights is a living, moving example of how art can help transform a city -- on many fronts -- and it certainly illuminates the importance of public art, in general.
Burning Man leaves a permanent imprint on everybody who goes about a way of life that is based on a giving society. The movie was the proverbial golden ticket of temptation to see and experience something that most people can only imagine.
A week in Black Rock City ain't cheap -- any loyal Burner will attest to that. In addition to the $380 entrance fee, the cost of transporting and s...
I love getting into strange people's cars almost as much as I love having strange people get into my car. It sounds crazy, and maybe I'm too trusting, but what I do know is that I have done rideshare approximately one billion times, and have never had a bad experience.
The race to Black Rock City is underway. Registration for Burning Man tickets opened Wednesday, and for those who register, tickets will be availa...

Burning Man ran into a legal snag this week when officials in Pershing County, Nevada, asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by festival organizers...
There is an expression one uses after an exceptionally good day or night on the playa... "I won Burning Man." It means you did it right, you slipped into the flow of the universe and something magical happened.
Whenever you hear about Burning Man, you hear about the art, the peace, the spiritual enlightenment, and, most importantly, the freedom. When you hear of Burning Man, you never hear of crime, and you certainly don't hear about a rape.
