They usually fill up my grocery store, which is weird because it's expensive and nowhere near the freeway. I have learned to try and stay away on the days when everybody is on their way there. Not, of course, because I have anything against them. I just don't like crowds. (I just realized how that might sound-yikes!) I tend to go places as much as possible at the 'off' times so as to avoid crowds.
Same here, babe.
I've never been to this event but I imagine that if I knew about it when I was younger (much) I probably would have checked it out. It's wayyyy out in the desert.
Oddly, I've lived in this area (NW Nevada - West of Reno) for some 35 years and I don't think I've known about Burning Man for more than 10-15 years.
Oh yeah, the heat has to be horrid! I handle heat even less well than I handle crowds. ha!

But I'd make an exception for this.
I would 'just' need to have an A/C pack strapped to my bod.
And arrive there in an air-conditioned motorhome.

Burning Man

Burning Man is a week-long annual event that began in San Francisco's Baker Beach in 1986 and migrated to the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada
*Even though it's northern Nevada and dry heat, it's still hotter than Hades!
SO cool...
I love art and visuals, so I can imagine how unreal - and sometimes surreal - it must be in-person.

Oh yeah. It's not high desert like where I am. You might as well be in Southern Nevada for the type of desert it is when you head out east of here! Eastern N. Nevada is just one giant flatland.
It gets plenty hot enough even here (I'm at about 5,000 above sea level), though. I just HATE the heat and live for cold temps and even snow. We get less snow every year here, though. That is making me a very sad little chicken.

Thank YOU, Shiraz. 
I'm on the east coast/Mid-Atlantic so it's doubtful for me as well. ;-)
But hey, ya never know...

I'll send you as much frost and snow as I can, chicky, packed in dry ice.
And wave a magic wand over it beforehand, so that it never ever melts.
CA is a great place overall, but... ;-)
The crisp and not-humid 40's and 50's are my fave temps, so autumn is my season.
I (mostly) enjoy the winter, too. 8)
That reminds me that one year, when we actually got measurable snow, I saved a bunch of it. I put it into several large Lock & Locks and into one of my freezers.
Then a year or so later (probably during spring or summer) I pulled it all out and piled it up in the backyard for Ru to play in. I got a few pics. It was pretty cute! He loved it!
a relative has participated in this since it's beginning. The heat would be hard, but he tells me it is so beautiful, and they love it. great inventions and work
