Burning Man, the weeklong hallucifest held annually in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, used to be a digital-free zone. After spending weeks building bicycle floats and sewing sequin vests, Burners would disappear from the grid, spend the entire festival bonding with their fellow man without the distractions of modern life, and return a week later with stories and photos to share with the rest of us.

1. Isn't this the first year the cops have shown up?

Nothing will kill a weekend of sex and anarchy faster than having Officer Friendly show up to keep his idea of order.

No matter how far into the godforsaken desert they take it, the PTB will want to control it and use it for their profit, if they can. If they can't, they'll just ruin it for everybody.
