day bug from 2009's burning man
filled with dancing people at night
many lighted setup
CUBITRON. giant light installation comprising a grid of roughly twelve million golf ball-sized, independently controlled bulbs syncing to the music.
people crowded under and around it for hours
amazing
amaaaaaazing.
belanterned palm trees
burning women
costumed people roaming all around the festival grounds
spinning flower fire/ heart fire
night bug, with proboscises firing in rhythm to the music
the lake
that sacred night, where we watched the fireworks explode at random times throughout the night
resting by the lake, watchin' the cubitron
end of the festival, last glimpse of the lightgrid
this festival was a glimpse into an entirely different world filled with intense music, lights, dream characters, and joy. comparing it to bonnaroo wouldn't do it justice, and comparing bonnaroo to nocturnal wouldn't suffice, either. just implausibly grand. it was actually this much fun, minus the final frame:

lauren, crazy to hear from you. i can't believe you went to burning man, SO jealous. my friends have been going yearly and i want to go so bad. i hear it's a total trip and indescribable. anyway good to hear from you. :)
lovely to hear from you, too. this wasn't burning man; it was a massive rave called nocturnal centered around the theme of alice in wonderland. i did go with a friend who attended burning man, though, and a lot of the art was brought to nocturnal. for fun, i guess. it was a sweet time, and burning man is surely on my radar. i'll get there. maybe we'll meet up there out of the blue one day.
