I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I'm watching the temple burn. It's really spectacular, but how do they keep everything else in the playa from catching on fire? It's not like the fire department can get there quickly if one of the buses ignites.

Is there any indication that he is there? He would have a very hard time hiding. I haven't seen any indication at all--but I have a feeling that maybe, just maybe, he went this weekend. As long as he and Sauli kept tats sort of covered, what with hats, shades, etc. I think they could easily blend in. The people at the Playa really aren't Glamberts--well, except for one we know!  But like Momtomany said, that's not the reason she's there. Anyone who actually went just to see a celebrity would be NUTS. That is not what it's about at all. So, I really think they could've gone...but I now nothing. (less than, actually! ;D) Oh, I see. I thought I missed something! I think that Adam could disguise himself and "hide" at BM. His Dusty disguise even got him past the most OTT Glamberts in the world. And I agree the Iguana post did make it seem like Adam and Sauli might have been shopping for BM. But I really think that he is too famous not to be noticed and mentioned by someone. If they have been at BM for 2 or 3 days without anyone revealing it, I am very impressed with the people he is with and his skill as a make-up artist. |

I'm sure the perspective on the livestream is weird too, but it looks like there is at least a bus that's pretty close. But with no vegatation to worry about, and the funny angle, and the dark, it's probably no where near as close as it looks. |

IDK, I'm with Q3 on this one. Even though the people there might not have been "Glamberts," they certainly would have known or noticed him. Just because they didn't go there to see a celebrity, doesn't mean they don't get a kick out of seeing one. I listen to DJs who have lived in and covered L.A. for 25 years. They have interviewed hundreds of celebrities in their professional career, but still share a "celeb sighting" story when they happen – everyone in their crew gets a kick out of them. And these are people who have lived in Hollywood for YEARS. Burning Man isn't nearly as isolated as I expected it to be. They obviously brought tons of technology with them. If someone spotted Adam, I don't doubt they would mention it. They did Anne Hathaway. But Anne's camp drew attention to themselves by "hiring" a bartender and being assholes. I would expect Adam to be minding his own business and doing his thing with some friends and letting Sauli experience it all. With hats and shades and dressed as crazy as anyone else, I think he could blend in. Ummm, he disappeared in LA for 2 weeks, remember, when he was at The Marquis. I doubt he never went out during that time. I think he can disappear when he wants to. Oh, and that store has soooo many wigs! I still think it would be easy for him to blend in there. I just don't think Adam would blend in easily anywhere. Despite dust and costumes, they're totally exposed. Way more than they are in their day to day life. As many people have said, they can pick him out of a crowd just by his size, hair and posture. I agree. And put a compact, silver-haired Finn with a mohawk next to him? (Yes, even with a hat on ...) I still think they would be recognized by anyone who is familiar with them at all. And even if they don't know him from, well, Adam, once they've had a conversation with him, they would know. |

MyS*&@^#r, you are exactly right about the story Flagrant told about Anne H. He never would've even metioned her had he not been so pissed. I have no idea whether A and S are there or not. But he could def pull it off if he wanted to, IMO.
The Temple burn was really nice. I compiled a list of chat comments that I really liked, hope it's not too OT.
*reflect, respect, and retrospect.
*The Temple this year is the tallest Temporary structure in the world!
*BURN THE BAD, BURN THE SAD. SMILE.
*don't cry because it's over...smile because it happened
*thanks for the current chant
*those who are dead, are not dead, they're just living in my head
*Thank you Temple I can see from my house in reno
*r e l e a s e
*thoughts of me were written in that temple and are healing me
*its the temple with thousands of memories on it
*Good night to be alive
*Memories were written or attached to the temple throughout the festival
*I love burning man. Rock on ya'll. Be nice to the dumb people this year. Help them be better.
*burn all that needs to be released...let go...Rites if Passage,to the next phase...new life...burrrrrrn.
*I put 10 samstones (http://samstones.org) in the temple in 2009 in memory of my son sam
*John> that's a deep tribute. I like very much . Here's to Sam. Transition.
*that gut pinch of everything going up
*you can't watch this and not feel
*And so begins the Exodus.....BLESSINGS...BURNERS...
