The People of Burning Man 1998
Ahhh, the people! This is what makes Burning Man the most unique event anywhere. They, or should I say WE are there to make the experience the best it can be for everyone in attendance. Each person that I met had found their way to contribute something to the event. Music, art, good attitude, massage, food, drink, all were suitable contributions, and all were usually returned with interest.

| This guy was out in the hot sun, on the Esplanade, doing some of the coolest airbrush body painting I've seen. | This was the best way that I saw to travel around Black Rock City. Faster! | Right at Center Camp, this is where some of the most vivid body paint colors came from. Some very creative people here! | OH MY GOD! Someone call a Ranger! Oh wait, that is a ranger, calling a ranger, for a ranger. Oh wait, he's just making Dust Angels and doesn't need our help. | Frank in Air-conditioned, Motorhomed, cushy chaired goodness. |
| The worlds largest, and possibly only gasoline powered vibrator! Wave that flag, what a great country this is! | Ouch! Or not. He didn't seem to think so. He was hanging from several hooks through the skin of his shoulders, was suspended from springs, and was riding through camp. | The "official" Burning Man fake ID card. Can I buy booze with this? | How many Jawas does it take to screw together a sand crawler? Three I guess. | John Axtell. One of the people I ran into that I knew, but didn't know was coming to Burning Man. He's a great guitarist, and got to play a gig in the desert. Put THAT on your resume John! |
| KAOS 107.7 Listen for us next year! This guy already got a tattoo he liked us so much! | The Karmic People Wash. Scrub first then rinse, then dry. You really do come out feeling spiritually cleaner. | Ahhh.. the Mud Pit. What better way to stay cool than to roll around in the mud 100,000 hippos can't be wrong. | This woman was taking Polaroid pictures with a pinhole camera! The sky and clouds looked really incredible. | Croquet? In the desert? You Bet! The Lizard Lounge went all out with astroturf and all. |
| What can you see from up there Seth? Just about everything I'd guess. | Me and my sister! I can't believe I actually found her, but trust me, the message board in Center Camp really works! | Heather and Beth on a beautiful desert night. | Actually, she found me. Kinda hard to miss the big Jiffy Pop dome, I guess! | T.J. and Eds wreaking havoc. |
| Now THAT could make you feel inadequate! | How many people does it take to raise a pole? Lots! | Big trapeze under the bigger sky. No safety nets here. | Aaaaugh! Now THOSE are big speakers. | Where'd everybody go? Max would sure like to know. |
