Note: If you're planning to come, buy your tickets early, prices go up over time. Also, the deeper connections you form with your camp and campmates, the cheaper/easier/green your participation can be. Do hook up with regional events in your area.
@KymSipes: I can't tell if you're joking. On the off chance that you're not, no. No women are allowed at Burrning Man. None. Take a quick look through the pictures at http://flickr.com/photos/tags/burningman/ and you'll see that there are miles and miles of both shirt and cock but no women. As for hotel accommodations, I recommend the Playa Marriott if you can afford it. Tip: try their veal. Last year they had free-range, non-BGH, double-kosher stock for the veal. If you can't afford the Playa Marriott, try the Black Rock City Days Inn. It's off the strip, way on the outskirts of the city, and can take hours to drive in past all the traffic and construction, but the pool has a waterslide, and who doesn't love a waterslide? Gotta run, enjoy your Continental Breakfast!
