This doesn't surprise me a bit nor do I think this is the first year  
such a thing would have appeared.  It's a big potlatch.  Conspicuous  
consumption of an arty kind.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potlatch

I could barely afford the gas, food, and ticket when I went in the  
early '90s.  There's no hope of me affording it now. While I'm glad  
that Burning Man hasn't wicked off creative energy from the SF Bay  
Area the way I feared (in fact it has incubated and spread it),  
Burning Man is an expensive destination. It's for people who have  
money and people who can convince people who have money to give them  
money to go.
