Burning Man Decompression 2008
10/14/08—Rebecca Pariser and her camera crash the annual Burning Man after party.Burning Man may be over this year, but the spirit never dies. At Burning Man Decompression: Heat The Street Faire, revelers brought Black Rock City to the streets of San Francisco. It was an all-day celebration of the radical free expression that comes to life in the desert each year. Art was everywhere: from huge fiery sculptures to mirrored limousines. And as usual, the collective masterpiece continued well into the night.

Torching the overpass, this art installation was one of many fire-breathing pieces.
What has two thumbs and no tan lines? This guy.
A tame example of some of the body painting at the Faire.
The Lotus: yet another fire-breathing piece of art.
Covered in snap-on raver clips, this guy was easy to keep tabs on.
Another example of the unique artwork at Burning Man Decompression 2008.
