Burning Man -- an eclectic art and music festival in the Nevada desert -- was hit by a major dust storm yesterday, forcing some of the 49,000 event-goers to load up their VW vans and hit the mellow highway.

No injuries were reported -- but it's probably because they haven't found anybody yet.

Arsonist Lights Up Burning Man Early

Posted Aug 28th 2007 6:05PM by TMZ Staff

Christmas came early for revelers at the eight-day Nevada desert festival known as Burning Man, when an arsonist lit up the 40-foot "Man" on Tuesday -- it wasn't supposed to go up in flames until Saturday. Current.TV reports festivalgoers (lucid and not-so-lucid) were heard chanting, "Save the man, save the man!"


Authorities say Paul Addis is responsible for the premature torching and have charged him with arson and misdemeanor possession of fireworks. 40,000 people are expected to reach the Black Rock Desert event this weekend, and organizers say the wooden effigy will be rebuilt in time for the scheduled 9:00 PM burning on Sept. 1. Burn, baby, burn!
