These burning freeks need to stay out of Nevada! I live in Reno, which is on the way to the burning freek site and these people are disgusting. Every year they have to clean up the site from all the trash they leave behind. When I say these people are freeks, that is an under statement. They all roll into town with the nappy (I have not bathed in 6 months) hair, pierced everything (that you can see and I don't want to know what I can't), hippy clothing and clunker cars. They run around the desert naked and you would not want to look at any of them. I always pray for high winds and rain for that weekend. They don't live here and what they want doesn't mean squat.
That sounds like a great reason to start charging them, if not for littering then at least for the cleanup afterwards.
SF should offer to hold the festival on the bay.
