Rave Girls at Burning Man in Black Rock Desert.
Today marks the opening of Burning Man 2010 at Black Rock city in Nevada which runs from Aug 30, 2010 through Sep 6, 2010. The enormously popular annual event now draws approximately 50,000 people but started out much smaller in 1986 (possibly even earlier) at Baker Beach in San Francisco. 1990 marked the first year the event was planned in the middle of Black Rock Desert, about 100 miles from Reno. This year’s theme is Metropolis.
Burning Man Temple in Black Rock City
In addition to the burning of the man at the end of the festival, it has become customary to erect and burn a temple. David Best was originally behind the project, which has also been led by Mark Grieve before being turned over to the Burning Man Community.

The Burning Man event is governed by 10 principles, which are radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, participation, and immediacy.
Burning Man Mutant Vehicle
Mutant Vehicles are creatively modified cars and trucks, distantly similar to parade floats. Burners who intend to bring a mutant vehicle must submit their plans in advance to the Burning Man DMV (Department of Mutant Vehicles) for approval as well as for physical inspection at the event. Not all designs and proposals are accepted.
