BLACK ROCK CITY — Actual conversation, overheard at the Porta-Potties:

"So what'd you do last night?"
"I took some unknown hallucinogen from a guy I didn't know." (shakes head sadly, as if in shame)
"How was it?"
"Fucking awesome."

The Man burns tonight. Like it was supposed to, before those gol-dinged ne'er-do-wells came in with all their smart-aleck "Burn the man early" talk. Right! Like this is supposed to be a festival of anarchistic self-expression or something!
