<strong>CNN Style: How has Burning Man changed (continued)?</strong><br /><br />N K Guy: Nowadays tickets are heavily in demand, and there's a desperate sense of competition to get there that didn't exist before. This is sad, but an inevitable consequence of growth. But more positively, it's helped fuel the tremendous growth of regional events, such as Nowhere in Spain.<br />But some things don't change. The dust, the vast scale of the desert against which we're all incomprehensibly small creatures, the gatherings of friends, the sense of open invitation to be who you want to be -- that's always part of Burning Man.<br /><br /><em>El Pulpo Mecanico by Duane Flatmo and Jerry Kunkel (2014)</em>
