It is a temporarily community of people (around 48,000!) that amass on public-owned lands to form a small city for a week in the desert in Nevada each year. It is centered around the arts and experimentation. It's difficult to describe... sort of like a modern-day Woodstock done properly with art as the main focus instead of music. You don't have to be an artist to attend - but everyone is expected to participate in some form or fashion.

Since it's in the desert - it's literally an exercise in survival as well. Cell phones don't work. You must bring your own water/shelter/food/gear. If you don't look prepared when you get there - the staff will turn you away.

This intrigues me greatly. It's looking like I will have to wait until next year, as Mick does want to attend - but can't do it this year. :~/
