Burning Man Co-Founder Larry Harvey DEAD @ 70

The seminal arts and culture festival takes place in Nevada's Black Rock Desert and is marked by the burning of a giant wooden sculpture of a man.

It was 1986 that the first Burning Man event took place on a beach near San Francisco.

In a past article about the mammoth desert event the Associate Press was quote as describing it as, "an esoteric mix of pagan fire ritual and sci-fi Dada circus where some paint their bodies, bang drums, dance naked and wear costumes that would draw stares in a Mardi Gras parade."

He died after being hospitalized after suffering a serious stroke earlier in the month.
