I spent much of the afternoon in conversation with Larry Harvey, Mayor of #BurningMan & Gen. Wesley Clark, who is here.

If Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Perry Barlow is to be believed, former presidential candidate and four-star General Wesley Clark (ret.) is at Burning Man, fully completing its transformation from a DIY pseudo-utopia to just another stupid ideas festival.
Gen. Clark pops a pill given to him by a woman wearing only body paint. The Playa transforms into Hamburger Hill, blood everywhere. This wasn't our war, the voice whispers to him, again, after all these years. This isn't our America, it tells him. He screams, withdraws his knife and charges. Full Frontal Assault, Wesley.
Wakes hours later in the med tent. Bad trip, man. Bad trip.
Day 2.
Begins hallucinating that the fat, bald guy on the Penny-farthing is Marlon Brando.
