How to Burning Man by bharathiya
“Burning Man is like going to a foreign country called ‘Home.’” That’s how repeat burner Eric “Getaway” Johnson (aka: Ringmaster) sums it up. If you’re heading out to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert for the annual festival, you couldn’t ask for a better pair of guides than Eric and Lisa “Kitchen Sink” Carpenter (aka: Hot Saucy). When they’re not burning, Eric is a filmmaker and Lisa is a Global Account Director in the telecommunication industry, but they’re never really not burning. They’re getting ready for the festival right now, so their living room is filling up with supplies, but tellingly the supplies and decorations and costumes they haven’t packed yet are stacked and stored throughout the house and in the back yard, always ready to add to and ready to go. So, as you gear up for your trip to the dry lake bed known as the playa, gather your dust goggles and fairy wings, and keep this guide handy so you know what to bring - and what to expect. It's the ultimate DIY event, because if you don't make it happen, it doesn't happen.
