Burning Man people to host Youtopia near Palomar Mtn.
There is drug use at Burning Man, yes. But that's not the focus of the event or why it comes together every year to build and bring a community of people from around the world. And the impact of Burning Man culture on the world outside of Black Rock City is palpable as well, through organizations like BRAF (Black Rock Arts Foundation), BWB (Burners Without Borders), BRS (Black Rock Solar), and in a related but not directly connected to the Burning Man organization, FIGMENT, an interactive and participatory arts festival that has expanded to multiple cities both nationally and around the world. San Diego held its first FIGMENT in April, at Chicano Park, and was attended by upwards of 1100 people. It might be wise for people to not pigeonhole Burning Man and subsequent regional events through sensational articles and stuff they've read in the media, but perhaps learn more about some of the principles and how they're practiced by Burners throughout the world. And full disclosure, I am a Burning Man regional contact here in San Diego.— October 12, 2013 4:05 p.m.
