Here is a like from the NYT's http://www.nytimes.c...ml?ref=business
Good catch, Barko!
Here's the part of that NYT article that makes that previous-posted rumor not complete fiction -- the owners of Burning Man are getting out, and sounds like there could be changes in the next couple years:
While the festival is flourishing, its financial structure is changing. Mr. Harvey announced several months ago that he and his partners were planning to liquidate their ownership interests in Burning Man. As part of a three-year plan, the company’s six owners plan to cash out their stakes, then hand control of the festival to a new nonprofit called the Burning Man Project, where they will constitute the minority on a 17-member board.....“We’re going to treat Burning Man like what it always should have been: not as a commodity, but as a gift,” Mr. Harvey said, explaining the festival’s multiyear transition strategy during an April 1 speech in San Francisco.
