Burning Man Vets on the allure of the desert art festival
Whiteout sandstorms, 115-degree heat, freezing nights, alkalai dust in your nostrils and skivvies ... these are the drawbacks of Burning Man. But they're also the filter that keep the weeklong arts festival in the Mojave strong and true to its purpose. With Burning Man set to start Monday, Off-Ramp host talks with participants Christopher Murray and Alexei Othenin-Girard.
