We encourage you to read as
much information as possible before attending Burning Man.
The Virtual Press Kit is simply a starting point for your exploration.
The rest of the website is an extensive resource of information, and a
thorough read will better prepare you for your Burning Man experience.
Particular note should be taken of the Survival
Guide, art
installations, and theme
camps sections.
The development of Burning Man from an act of self-expression to a cultural
movement can be followed through reading the Burning
Man History Timeline, speeches
by Larry Harvey, and the Burning Man Newsletter.
The Burning Man Myths article outlines some of the
common misconceptions surrounding the origin of and purpose behind Burning
Man.
We also include some new ideas you might want to consider - and don't miss
the famous phrase generator.
We've also included a link here for the Media
Archive. Participants enjoy reading the articles about the event, but to
some degree, we caution you to not read too many of them, as "your" experience
will be better less colored ahead of time.
