Sounds like sort of a bad year for Burning Man. After several accidents, there’s been a fatality. I think Elim sums it up well: “drunk people, ArtCar, Night, do the math. The fact that it hasn’t happened in 7 years or so is remarkable.”
In better news, Ted Leo’s next album is slated to come out October 7th. Just listened to an mp3 on Lookout’s site, for “The Sword in the Stone”. Here’s to hoping he’ll swing by Minneapolis soon. I missed him in March due to my own lameassness. Won’t make that mistake again.
