    Every year beginning the Monday before Labor Day, a city blossoms forth from the alkaline dust of a parched dry lake bed in the Northern Nevada Black Rock Desert.  A city both the wildest and the tamest you will find anywhere.  A city where you're money is (almost) no good.  ( You pay to enter and you pay for ice and coffee.)  Everything else is by barter only.  You won't see a  merchant pavillion in sight, but you will see a lot of good (and decidedly decadent) people offering a wide range of goods and services for free or for barter just because you need them - or you LOOK like you need them.  Performance art, massage, concerts and rages for all tastes, fire performances, art cars, candy, trinkets, beer, a nip from a Jack Daniel's bottle on a cold night, a glow stick, a power bar, a plastic foot on a leather cord, the sight of the beautiful, naked and ornately adorned bodies.
    Black Rock City is both the city of the future and a throwback to a simpler era.  It's a one week a year experiment in Utopia.  No matter how the weather Gods choose to treat us, Black Rock City is a kind of  Utopia.  One of the few rules is NO SPECTATORS!  I follow that rule by offering tarot readings.  And I try to meet as many people and make as many friends as possible.  It is the one vacation that a person can take alone and not feel alone, and two of the three years I've attended Burning Man I've gone alone, and come back with a thousand new friends in my heart and memories.  I've included a gallery of pictures from each year that I've attended the festival.  Click on the thumbprints for a larger picture.
