America's other convention: Best of the Burning Man 2008 photo galleries
While Democrats and Republicans were talking about the American Dream at their conventions, more than 45,000 other Americans were living out their dream at a wild, technicolor futureworld convention in the Nevada desert — the annual Burning Man festival.
The Burning Man dream evolves and endures every year.
This year a 10-story recycled-steel skyscraper was the center of controversy (and definitely the coolest art installation) on the playa.
A blinding eight-hour dust storm that could have halted the festival instead became the "white-out of 2008" legend that burners talked about for the rest of the week — and will for years to come.
Burning Man is a social experiment as well as an art festival and though it has become far more produced than in the past, it is still one amazing photo op.
