Turn Back The Hands of Time...

It strikes me that there might be some interest in seeing the very first bit of writing I ever did for public consumption about Burning Man, a long cover feature that appeared in the February 2000 issue of Reason magazine. It was called "Burning Man Grows Up," and it mostly focuses on the event's relations with government authorities. Is there such interest? If so, you know where to click.

It contains many observations and stories that did not make it into the finished book, and thus can be profitably enjoyed by both readers and non-readers of my book.

Patrick Hughes, one of the funniest writers in America, has kindly linked to my dedicated book page. I will return the favor to him--and do a big favor to you--by recommending you check out his weekly updates of indignaties, great advice, giant spiders, and things stuck up his oh-so-sensitive parts, under his bold Internet identity of Bad News Hughes.
