­Burning Man is an annual festival that began in 1986. Tens of thousands of people gather at the 'Playa' in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create a temporary wooden city dedicated to community, art, self-expression and self-reliance.

Thanks. I didn't. Interesting to know. Baker Beach is not the best place to hang out, even in the summer. It's cold.

I don't recall if it was on Baker Beach too, but the Christmas Tree burn is a lot of fun too. Everyone brings as many as they can (easily found curbside) for a giant pile, and holy shit, when they light it up, man does it ever spread fast - like wild fire. Makes you wonder why more people don't have accidents. There were plenty of police around, but they didn't let folks stick around to hang and party. I'd guess that was the first week of January or so 2006 because I'd moved to Ottawa the next year with Janet for a few months before driving down to Oakland. I wouldn't be surprised if the canceled that since.
