It is an arts festival where radical expressionism is strongly encouraged. The ethos is "radical self reliance" - there is no food/water and very little shade. You must bring what is required to survive in the scorching alkaline desert for 7 days.
It is a participant based event (meaning people who go are encouraged to create theme camps, art installations, bars, costumes, games, workshops,etc.)
When i went last year i found there was a strong BDSM alt. sex community which sort of surprised me. Nothing is taboo - you can spanked on a stage in public, or do yoga naked, or get a coffee enema, or a pubic haircut.
There is nothing organized/planned by the festival itself, besides the start, end and burn. People schedule their own workshops, meals, events, etc...
Alot of stuff is word of mouth - like big DJ's playing, etc... Its not scheduled - you just have to run into it.
There's so much to do, all the time. For example:
There is: "the tuna guys" - who are a group of tuna fisherman who bring ALOT of fresh tuna and prepare and serve various tuna dishes throughout the festival.
There is "the tequila shack" - where everyday they serve up shots of tequila and you need to shoot it, lick a salt lick and chase with some sort of liquid out of a ketchup bottle + they take your picture...
"vamp camp" where my friends swear they were given "date rape drugs" in their drinks...
"Smoke and a flapjack at ridiculously inconvenient hours" that gives away cigarettes and pancakes at 4:21am or 5:33am or whatever...
"the grilled cheese incident" who are a bunch of jammers who give away awesome homemade grilled cheeses!... etc etc etc etc... running races, and titty parades, and flame throwers, and dance parties, and pranksterism, mini golf, a theatre, roller disco...
Its essentially a 5 mile freak show with crazy art cars and weird events and interactive art installations which are being built and adapted at all times. The event just gets better and better as the time goes on. It is awesome. I was naked. I got sunburnt. It was awesome.
I really hope to make it again this year.

Also, not really psychedelic like a jam band festival.
The cops have a very heavy prescence and actively are trying to set people up and bust people, going as far as to use invasive camp methods, undercovers and night vision goggles.
There's drugs - but its not open. Its a pretty paranoid audience, i would say.
The place is psychedelic without drugs.

Indeed. There are no abortion clinics at Burning Man, just as there wouldn't be any if Ron Paul were president.

The people sleeping in tents is also a good illustration of a Ron Paul presidency.
