Ahh, so should one burn the Vault of Heaven?


So I just got the ticket registration to this years Burning Man fest. This year's art theme is Vault of Heaven.
"In the time it takes to read this sentence, the sun will have traveled 1,500 miles in its orbit around the center of our local galaxy, the Milky Way. Our Theme this year will contemplate the cosmos - real science and its surreal realm of possibility. The natural laws with which you are familiar may suddenly cease to apply. Close your eyes and hold your breath. Prepare to fall into the sky"

So my question is, has anyone ventured to the playa, and tips, pointers, or ideas? Or more importantly, anyone up for a vacation to the playa on the 'neck? The event is from August 30 to September 6, so it's a protest or come together under the sun.
Seems like a good place to be, a few thousand people, focused on the very least, playing with ideas and what we consider art, humanity, and what should and shouldn't be ingested or burned. I already have some things that would be better off on fire, or at the very least, given away. And this year seems like a good year to go. Sounds like something the Marquis himself would show up at.

Anyway, to wrap it up, looking forward to seeing some of you there, should I decide to go. Tickets not on sale till March 1, and it should be a fun time for all. And must be better than plasticuffs, beatings, and rubber bullets. Unless you want to bring those too. Some might be into that kind of thing. hehe. Hopefully, this is something we should all be able to make, as it might just be place to reinvent ourselves, as I get the feeling we are all tired of the more of the same, with a side of monotony that seems to be how we get ourselves on from day to day. See ya in the comments.
