Burning Man

There's something interesting about this to me from an anthropological and artistic standpoint, but from a social standpoint, it gives me the heebie jeebies. I become overwhelmed just imagining myself going to this event. I could only consider it if I had a specific purpose, like doing a study or report or something. Other than that, part of me thinks that it is totally ridiculous and unnatural; but, how can I judge it? I've never been there. I'd be afraid to go unless I had a way to escape it. One thing I don't like is excess of anything. I think Burning Man is excessive. Excess of lust, population, decoration, intoxication, etc. Perhaps that is also true of society at large. Especially interesting to me is the photo gallery. Check it out.
