- Burning Flipside -- Advertisement? Not encyclopedia article.
- "Regional event" that is apparently very regional, with about only 100 Googles (the rest 400 are repeats). --Menchi 18:38 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I reformatted and gave this a slightly more encyclopedic tone. I'm doing more research on the event, but I've heard about it before -- it's important for Burning Man types. --ESP 19:07 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I've updated the article with additional information about the event. This is pretty much the best I could do. -- ESP 20:35 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
This event has grown rapidly and is very important to the Burning Man community. Although it only has 1500 attendees to BM's ~35000+, it's culture has a major influence on that of the larger event. Additionally, it has grown rapidly in less than a decade from a <50 person campout to its current size and next year will be moving to more land to encourage more growth.
I will try to do what I can to this article when I have time to make it more presentable. I have many photos from the event, however it's against the guidelines of the event to use photos for any commercial applications. I don't know if this will jive with wikipedia -- although wikipedia is noncommercial, it's reusers might be (even if they just have banner ads). I need to research the use guidelines for photos here.

- Oh, and do note that "Burning Flipside" results in significantly more Google hits than it did when Menchi apparently tried it in 2003. Kit 23:57:44, 2005-08-07 (UTC)
