Burning Man 1998 - A Video Retrospective Series: "The Apotheosis of Crimson Rose"

This video requires QuickTime Plugin


"The Apotheosis of Crimson Rose," from producers Doug Jablin and Anthony Bondi, offers the sights and sounds of Burning Man 1998. Featured here are interviews with Maid Marian, Lady Bee, Fantuzzi, Flash, Dan Das Mann (talking about his installation "The One Tree"), Steve Heck, Waterboy, Wes Modes, Charles A. Gadeken and many more including Larry Harvey.

It's interesting to note that 10,000 pre-sale tickets were sold that year.  Maid Marian estimated about 3,000 more attendees would make it to Black Rock City but the official headcount turned out to be 15,000.

This slow moving video is like an afternoon bike ride on the open playa. It's hard to describe but it really illustrates how much Burning Man has changed. More naked people, lots of original one of a kind costuming, moar drumming and MOAR FIRE! If you were there, this is a must see because it is an utter t-rip.

Factoids:
  • The Man is 52' tall.
  • Theme: Nebulous Entity
  • Numbered streets and street signs on each corner are introduced
  • Attendance: 15,000
  • Tickets: $80-90
