Lakes of Fire is like Burning Man, but ten times closer and ten times cheaper. June 25-28, 2009, held in Western Michigan. Co-hosted by the Burning Man Regional groups from Michigan, Ontario, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

This is your chance to see and participate in experimental arts, the Gift Economy, huge fire blasters, fire art, and fire dancers, art-cars, theme camps and all the rest.

NOTHING IS FOR SALE AT THIS EVENT. That is not what it is about. It is a free exchange of performances, gifts, and techniques between artists and generally adventurous people. :)

Only 5 days left to get your tickets. Advance tickets only. www.lakesoffire.org/.

If you have always wanted to go to Burning Man, but thought: "it's too expensive! It's too far!" well now you can go for forty bucks and a 4-hour drive. Take the weekend. Treat yourself. You won't regret it.
