How to burn like a true Burning Manner

  • 7 years ago
BLACK ROCK DESERT, NEVADA — The Burning Man festival is here once again as hipsters from across the country start to litter the deserts of Nevada to play in the sand and use some dust.

The no-holds-barred art and music festival parties on for nine straight days until September 4. About 70,000 people are expected to show up this year.

Tickets are an ultra-affordable $1,200. Burning Manners also have to get to Black Rock Desert by themselves.

Smoking Man is billed as a festival full of eclectic artists, off-the-wall families, high power CEO douches and tech dweebs.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg have all partied it up at Hot Man before. Wouldn't you totally want to do some lines with these guys?
The Smoldering Man was first held by Larry Harvey and some pals in 1986.

It's called Burning Man because it started with some hippies chanting around a bonfire on the summer solstice on Baker Beach in San Fran.

Since then, it's blown up into the spectacle you see now today. At the end of the festival, all the hipsters get together and burn a giant wooden man. It's so touching — especially if you're as high as a Space-X rocket.
