They looked at us in total shock, the American Dream is full of indulgences, which they were not necessarily participating as an attendee. I wasn't around when the United Rental folks had their empolyees around, so I can't make another observation.

"the amount of fireworks and propane that they burned this year was really scary (obviously just for a big show, not very "green", was it?)." I think it weird to hear so much environmental concern over burning stuff. FUCKIN-AYy! It's Burning arts Festival and we're a bunch of non-apologetic pyromaniacs. I'm on the side of the people that says we ought to burn every RV on Friday Night each year. Sure burning them would release LOTS of toxic fumes...but for just one night...as opposed to outgassing and wasting fuel at 7 MPG for the next twenty years! Burn Larry RV! Burn Larry RV! Burn Larry RV! ...But all joking aside...it would be cool to have at least one major art piece burn each night of the festival out on the Playa. Not 'the Man' each night...just one RANDOM night! and the other nights it would be a different piece. I liked The Waffle, but if too many pieces of the Burning Art are also functional (like the waffle as a disco) then TOO MANY artworks wait until the end to get burned. So what if there's more people there to enjoy it? The truly appreciative are there on Sun-Mon-Tue-Wed night! It would be great karma for the early arrivals who do so much of the setup and pARTicipation to get a chance to see a HUGE art piece burn on Sunday night to OPEN the event! Like a giant balsa-wood wall behind the gate that is torched when the gate officially opens and burns bright and fast...then new arrivals would cross over the ashes for the rest of the week.

"We already purchase all our fireworks from China", said Larry Harvey, one of the co-founders of the Burning Man festival. "So it made sense to outsource the Man too." "Chinese-built copies of the 40-foot tall Man will cost us about 10 times less than domestic copies, and this will save us a lot of green stuff", Harvey explained, referring to this year’s "Green Man" theme. "The Chinese Man will be 100% identical to the domestic version, very combustible and based on the same original blueprints from my good friend John Law. We don't expect any lead poisoning problems", Harvey added. There has been rumors that the significant cost saving will permit the festival organization to burn a copy of the Man every evening night of the week, which some see as environmentally questionable as well as a disguised way to prevent any future early torching of the figure. The first batch of Chinese-made Man is expected to ship early august 2008, and there are currently no plans to make Chinese copies available to the general public, although this is being discussed in the organization.
