The Burning Man Data

Burning Man started off as a bunch of people on a beach with a big fire. And then it developed into this major gathering, thousands of people. In 1996, the population reached, I think it was 8,600 or so. The government said, we're not going to let you do this. If you don't put some order here. It's very anarchic principles. Very explicitly, self-consciously, sort of anarchic, anti-hierarchical and so on.
