 How to Enjoy the Burning Man Experience from the Comfort of your Own Home

 Reread _Dhalgren_ by Samuel R. Delany. Reread _The City Not Long
 After_ by Pat Murphy. Cut off the bindings, throw all the pages
 up in the air, and shuffle them back together. Reread _The City
 After Dhalgren_ by Samuel Murphy. Burn it. Reread the ashes.

 Pay an escort of your affectional preference subset to not bathe
 for five days, cover themselves in glitter, dust, and sunscreen,
 wear a skanky neon wig, dance close naked, and say they have a
 lover back home.

 Pitch your tent next to the biggest speaker in a crowded, noisy
 club. Go to sleep.

 Drain all the water from your toilet. Vacuum it every three days.
 Hide all your toilet paper.

 Throw a sprawling, drunken, week long party. Spend the next five
 weeks meticulously cleaning every square inch of your house.

 Stack all your fans in one corner of your living room. Turn them
 on full.  Dump a vacuum cleaner bag in front of them.

 Sprinkle dirty sand in all your food.

 Bust your ass for a "community." See all the attention get focused
 on the drama queen crybaby.

 Spend thousands of dollars on a deeply personal art work. Hide it
 in a funhouse. Blow it up.

 Set up a DJ system downwind of a three alarm fire. Play a short
 loop of drum'n'bass until the embers are cold.

 Have a 3 a.m. soul baring conversation with a drag nun in platforms,
 a crocodile, and Bugs Bunny. Be unable to tell if you're hallucinating.
 Lust after Bugs Bunny.
