The First Night

Our first night at Burning Man was an introduction to a new world. After we set up our camp we took a ride on our bikes to explore the glory that is night time at Burning Man.
Here is Michael checking out the archway to Center Camp. It's made of bicycle parts.
This is a picture of the Burning Man version of the popular child's video game "Dance, Dance Revolution" only with this version, if you make a mistake you are shot with a burst of fire. The participants wear a fire suit and are pumped with fresh oxygen but it doesn't make the blast of fire any less scary!
This is our first view of a Mutant Vehicle. We later found out that they are EVERYWHERE on the playa, in the night ,making our adventures even more surreal!This one was erected on a full size bus! with fifty or more people dancing and drinking to loud techno music as it toured the playa.
And then there's the Cubatron Cone! This is a night time art exhibit that uses mathematical calculations to create a fantastic light show. Here's a couple of pics, and a video.
*Remember, this is on the playa....a dry, desert lake in the middle of nowhere!!!
