Interesting, seems like a trend is growing, that is, against the mainstream... and sold out a month in advance to boot.

Has the counterculture Burning Man festival become a little too hot? For the first time in 25 years, the festival that begins Monday in the northwest Nevada desert has sold out -- and organizers are urging fans who don't have tickets not to show up to the gate.
Burning Man 2011 tickets, which ranged from $210 (early birds) to $360 each, sold out July 24.
"We’ve cut off ticket sales early in order to manage our population count over the course of the event, as stipulated by our BLM permit, the text of which indicates that we must stay below an average of 50,000 people per day over the course of the week," spokeswoman Annie Grace writes in an email.
Interesting, seems like a trend is growing, that is, against the mainstream... and sold out a month in advance to boot.
The event dedicated to "community, art, self-expression and self-reliance" runs through Sept. 5 in the harsh and remote area dubbed "Black Rock City" by festivalgoers. Tens of thousands attend and stay in tents, trailers, motorhomes and other shelters to be part of the under-the-radar art and performance "city."
The art theme for Burning Man 2011: Rites of Passage. How fitting
