Post Ticket Drama
Inspired by a recent post by DanNation.Org it was time to do some hindsight into the Burning Man Ticket fiasco and start looking ahead instead of looking backward. @queer_burners on Twitter call this horse-hamburger and that might have been premature.

This week Burning Man took over U.N. Plaza at San Francisco City’s Civic Center to announce a major new initiative for the community and the revitalization of Market Street!

The survival and elaboration of this culture depend upon a cultivated capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations.” [Source]
