I'm taking a week away from stock research, trading, credit meltdowns and blogging for The Panelist. I'm leaving the Default World and heading to the to a dry salt lake bed called Black Rock City.

I heard there might be Internet access. If there is, I'm going to try to report on how people spend money at Burning Man. Because far from the hippy-dippy laid back party everyone thinks it can be, I noticed people spending huge amounts of money at Burning Man. They spend it on art, on preparations, on vehicles, on sharing, on gifts, on music, on propane, on travel, on food and a whole range of equipment gear and supplies. Perhaps it should be called a Burning Money Man. As some artist figured out last year in this photo I took of the night of The Burn.
