Burning Man Thrills

WOW, not for the weak of heart, this yearly labor day week event is a must for FAVTHRILL and other artistic thrill seekers. Check it out but be prepared -there are harsh conditions and free artistic expression of every sort. Here’s the official link and some of my favorite Burning Man pics..

Burning Man People (The Burners) First off in FAVTHRILL’s opinion, there are WAY too many naked old guys at Burning Man, but this spirit of free expression is unique for our time and way cool. Because FAVTHRILL does not want to offend, I have made minor edits to the “Burners” pics.  Artists rule.

  1. So where’s the obligatory drunken sprawl, the photographer draped over some sculpture (hopefully no one looking) and kineticly releases 4 quarts of cheap american suds…

    These folks look completely sober, no fair!

  2. I added a few pics for the last comment. Thanks for responding..

    As quoted in the following SF Chronicle article(http://www.wizzard.com/bm2000/sfChronicleArticle/article.html):

    ” There may be sex and drugs and beer out here, but it’s not about sex and drugs and beer. It’s not about taking your clothes off, either, and riding a bicycle across the desert floor in the altogether.

    It’s about art, that’s what it’s about.
