Burning Toast Man
During the full moon preceding the summer solstice, a festival is held in the Black Rock Desert.
Art is what you make of it, but firearms, explosives, and 100mph desert vehicles bring back the element of danger that is sorely lacking in "civilized" events.
::The Tradition::
The tradition of Burning Toast Man is an odd story. From a small and possibly scurrilous start to what BtM has become today, the legend of Burning Toast Man lives on.
::Preparing For BtM::
The desert can be a challenging environment to live in, let alone in which to throw a great party. Good preparation goes a long way towards enhancing your chance of survival at BtM.
::Press There::
Media coverage of BtM is not encouraged. Unlike other "art festivals" BtM is entirely about participation, not documentation. Here's how media representatives can avoid harassment while at BtM.
::This Year's Theme::
BtM is its own theme. But every year there are people who want to know exactly how they can best participate in BtM. Maximize your pleasure with This Year's BtM Theme.
::Tickets to BtM::
Tickets below the $250 level are now sold out. Please buy the most expensive BtM ticket you can afford. This leaves the lower priced tickets unsold and earns BtM, Inc. more money.
::Safety at BtM::
With rampant use of flammables, firearms, and loud music at all hours, here's how to coexist safely with the psychotic, trigger-happy patrons of Burning Toast Man.
::Leave No Trace::
Burning Toast Man has an enduring commitment to the environment. If there's one thing you take home from BtM, it should be the mantra "Leave No Trace."
