Burning Man Decompression 2008

10/14/08—Rebecca Pariser and her camera crash the annual Burning Man after party.

By Rebecca Pariser

Burning Man may be over this year, but the spirit never dies. At Burning Man Decompression: Heat The Street Faire, revelers brought Black Rock City to the streets of San Francisco. It was an all-day celebration of the radical free expression that comes to life in the desert each year. Art was everywhere: from huge fiery sculptures to mirrored limousines. And as usual, the collective masterpiece continued well into the night.
