Vicariously Experiencing Burning Man

I’ve never been to Burning Man, but know several people who have participated in the annual event, including Pat Baudisch, on whose office door I recently saw this wonderful list of “How to enjoy the Burning Man experience from the comfort of your own home.” I’m not sure how well this approximates the real experience of the event, but it does seem to correspond to some of the reports of experiences I’ve heard or read over the years.
