The Night He Burned Ye Olde Burning Man Down (four days early)

"Look at me ma, I torched the man!"

You got to love the merry prankster aspect of this story. A bunch of supposed "freaks" go out to the black rock desert in Nevada for what is now a super organized, money making counter/rave/fringe culture"freak-out" and then one of the freaks, well, gets it in his freaky head to "freak out" and goes and burns down the Burning Man four days early. Some attendees screamed "let it burn" while others yelled "save the man".

Best booking photo I've seen in a while.
