Can’t Take the Heat

hero

Just when you lint-brushed your furry chaps, got your make-out-themed camp planned,
rented a sweet RV, and got your PTO request okayed at Twitter, you got the terrible news:
Burning Man is sold out. Doh!

Grabbing secondhand tickets from ePlaya or Craigslist seemed like a good idea until karma-unfriendly scalpers jacked up the price.

Luckily, there is another option. Burning Man started at Baker Beach, and we can reclaim Black Rock City here within San Francisco limits if we can visualize The Playa happening at home. Here are a few suggestions for taking a Burner staycation.

Yay! Love it. I didn't make the 1st tier drawing this year so I guess I'm not going! Polo Fields, here I come!
