We had another bad windy dust storm that started in the afternoon. It almost canceled the burn, but it died down after 9 pm and word spread that it would start at 10 pm. We waited patiently until 11 and then fireworks kicked things off. When that was finished, the Man was lit with an explosion with fire. Even the veterans said it was a great burn. The Man blazed and crumpled in dramatic fashion. It reawakened the childhood fascination I've had with fire and pyrotechnomania.
After the Man and the tower fell, the crowd rushed towards the fire. We were all cold and sought out the warmth of the flames. Some guy in the crowd shouted, "All newbies run around the Man!" and soon we were all running along the perimeter of the fire. Crazed by the intensity of the moment.
