SURVIVING DUSTSTORMS & DOWNTURNS
1:15-2:15 pm - A community brain-storming forum on how Burning Man WILL adapt and survive these tough economic times. The greatest resource Burning Man's possesses is the creative intellect of our community. Come on and think outside the [Dicky] Box. Sacred Cow tipping allowed!

ASK THE MAN - (ASK THE MOUSE?)
The Playa-Info-maniac Mouse (& Mini-Mouse) will be scurrying about Burning Man Headquarters during the Open House with the Man's head in her cute little paws, collecting YOUR questions for the MAN. Sounds surreal? Of course it does - it's Burning Man! A panel of Burning Man staffers will convene to answer all questions at the end of the day.

POTLUCK BARBEQUE BYOC (BRING YOUR OWN CUP) - You betcha! Whatcha bringin' for the grill? Who's got the potato salad?
