Know the Signs
About a month ago, an e-mail went out, asking for some ideas
for the Burning Man greeting signs ÷ you know, the signs that are posted as you
drive into Black Rock City, many of which say things such as "SLOW DOWN ÷
5 MPH" and "DUST." Apparently, some of the Burning Man people
wanted a few signs that were funny or surreal. So Mark Casino and Dr. Cliff
Davis of www.cardhouse.com got right on it, although not many ÷ if any ÷ of
their sign ideas were used. The following is a list of their rejected Burning
Man signs.
High entry fee
Rigid, secretive
hiERarchy

transformation" claims

Burning Man is like
Disneyland, except there are more rules
THIS SIGN IS ON DRUGS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PAINTED WEIRD, BUT
THE SIGN PAINTER WAS ALSO ON DRUGS, SO THEY CANCELLED EACH OTHER
OUT.
