a: Burning man ~
b: herpes
What: "Burning Man would be bad enough if it simply existed somewhere far away. Like the Tea Party or pirates, an abstract I only had to encounter when I clicked on a specific link to a Yahoo story. Or if I still lived in Connecticut. But I live in the Bay Area, where Burning Man is like herpes. The shit is everywhere."
