One of my concerns here is that several founders of Burning Man find no fame or glory here. For those of us closer to the founders, we know the whole idea was formed and took shape at meetings at 1907 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco. The huge rambling 2-story flat in San Francisco was home and guest house to several people who were intimately involved with the creation of Burning Man. In case it isn't obvious, friendships suffered when some people turned out to love the glory more than others.
A chief architect of the Burning Man vision was the great doyenne, Roberta "P" Segal, who in true, gender-driven diminution and historical refab, first envisioned and authored the tenets of Burning Man. Another person who stylized and created the original silk screened swag for the parties of 40 at Baker Beach and elsewhere, Chris de Monterey, is also left out of the evolutionary tale of Burning Man.
The Cacophony Society still meets, at least several people still do, in San Francisco on the first Saturday of each month (It is currently Sept. 2022). More than this, Ms. Segal has gone on to a new vision, post several thousand dollars per ticket, in the quest for creative essence; she has created an artist's housing project in San Francisco so the arts can be reborn and San Francisco can once again be a flourishing artist's center. 157.131.246.221 (talk) 05:24, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
It is well known within the community of early participants, that the ideas for Burning Man were discussed and evolved at 1907 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco, where visionary P Segal was involved along with a small handful of others, some who continued with it, and some who did not as Burning Man took on a life of it's own. There are some remarkable photos out there, but I am not sure if they are available for use from those years. Another early member was Chris de Monterey, who silk screened the first tickets to Baker Beach events. 157.131.199.58 (talk) 01:42, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Flooding has closed the entrance this year source. I was curious if it's ever rained on Burning Man before? Apparently there was also a hoax claiming an Ebola outbreak source. Beland (talk) 03:52, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
There have been a series of malicious edits, from the same IP address, changing from "festival" to toilet on fire", changing things to feces, etc. Whitis (talk) 00:47, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
"community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance" are the stated principles of burning man and doesn't necessarily reflect reality. it looks to me like the page is being edited by certain groups affiliated with burning man. Synopsis19117 (talk) 11:45, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
