Some Burning Man info for the tempted.
BusCamp has their own listserver
http://vwbuscamp.com/mailman/listinfo/vwbuscamp_vwbuscamp.com
Lots of information at some of the following links.
http://www.burningman.com/
http://www.visioncollective.org/BurningMan/burningmansurvivaltips.html

Frank Condelli, of this list, went last year and provided wonderful photo
documentation and journal
http://burningman04.jiddware.com/
This one is should make you start packing

Hope you all find this worth the bandwidth.
I have had thoughts of going for 10 years, but have never found a way to
justify the 5000 miles. I think it was free (in more ways than one) or very
inexpensive when I first started thinking about it. Not the case anymore. If
anyone is going from the east coast, let me know, life may be less
complicated this year.
