I did go, and I saw Kim in Reno's daughter dancing with fire at the base
of the Man during the burn.  These Fire Dancers are amazing performers,
and Kim should be very proud of her non-drugged up, clothed hippie
daughter!  There really were lots of people there who weren't in a
perpetually chemically altered state, and even many who managed to wear
clothes despited the heat of the day.  It's just that the semi- naked,
deep-fried heathens get more attention.  One came up to my husband, put
his hand on my husbands shoulder and looked up, saying in a hushed voice,
"satellites falling.....got to be careful", then shuffled away.  People
like this really do make more of an impression than the basically normal
folks who attend just for the spectacle and the community aspect of the
place.
