We've never been all that intrigued by Burning Man, but Limewire has some great photos of the recent annual desert voyage that make it look more appealing than appalling.
That's right, someone - actually the Open Planning Project - recreated New York City right there in the Black Rock Desert. It sort of begs the question "why leave New York in the first place?" but you've gotta hand it to them for even including such details as the Astor Cube and rats in the subway. Though we're not too sure we've ever seen a bus stop that looks like theirs -- check it out in the series of photos here.
And Open Planning Projects has worked in NYC - Park(ing) Day, for instance.

That is the Astor Place subway station, not a bus stop.
click the link, there's a picture with a "bus stop" in it.
who knew?
I think they're referring to the picture with the giant "BUS STOP" sign in front of it and not the fake subway station. I could be wrong, though.
awesome!
Your use of "begs the question" is incorrect. It does not mean to "raise the question."
that looks fun, sorta a hippie festival but really really spread out. and you don't have to worry about mud.
that girl in white looks nice. and, the fact you can get around on a bike is a plus.
burning man is for homos. rich homos who love to molest children and stick fingers in their asses
This looks just like NYC !!!
Incredible..!
How’d they do that..?!
Put in a Starbucks and a fancy Condo. Maybe the Yuppies will move there, and talk about how "cutting edge" it is.
didn't know it was a homofest,
that subway station tent is larger than most studios in Manhattan.
Actually they are missing the Starbucks (on Astor & Layfayette) and the other Starbucks across the street (@ Cooper Square).
And the cube is called "Alamo" for those that care
burning man people are gross
I think the "Star Trek" Shuttlecraft in the background makes up for the missing Starfucks anytime.
without the "sculpture for living", is it really astor place? where are all the investment bankers?
That would be one of our Computer User boxes.
Oh well, at least it was for art.
I thought the shuttlecraft was a modified golf cart to get around the camp. hey, they even put up the lamp post with the green indicator.
Too Cool!! I love it!
haha, starbucks. actually, reverand billy (http://www.revbilly.com/) and the church of stop shopping came over and did a "stop shopping service." they had some great songs and had everyone standing around pledge to never use a starbucks (except for the bathrooms, of course).
burningman is full of homos!!
and gross people!!
unlike NYC, which is full of normal people who never stick their fingers where they should not be.
remember: Burningman SUCKS!! Never for a minute think of going there. DO NOT GO! It's HORRIBLE!!
Stay home and surf the internet for porn; much more productive.
WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT ATTEND BURNINGMAN
DO NOT BRING YOUR FRIENDS
DO NOT BRING YOUR RV
JUST DONT!!!
You will hate it and regret it forever.

In logic, begging the question describes a type of logical fallacy, petitio principii, in which the conclusion of an argument is implicitly or explicitly assumed in one of the premises.[1] Stephen Barker explains the fallacy in The Elements of Logic: "If the premises are related to the conclusion in such an intimate way that the speaker and listeners could not have less reason to doubt the premise than they have to doubt the conclusion, then the argument is worthless as a proof, even though the link between premises and conclusion may have the most cast-iron rigor".[1] In other words, the argument fails to prove anything because it takes for granted what it is supposed to prove.
Begging the question is related to the fallacy known as circular argument, circulus in probando, vicious circle or circular reasoning. As a concept in logic the first known definition in the West is by the Greek philosopher Aristotle around 350 B.C., in the Prior Analytics.
In non-standard usage, the phrase is commonly used to mean "suggests the question" or "raises the question".

Does their Alamo spin?
I guess that's what the drugs are for....
#5 & #21,
The meaning of "begs the question" has evolved. It now can also mean "raises the question". Languages aren't static, the meanings of words and phrases change. Popular use determines the meaning. Please, do not be a Language Creationist.
I want to see naked people.
lol @ Dobkin insulting i-bankers.
Hey all,
Yes, the cube did spin and the stoops were filled with folks hanging out, chatting and cat-calling at all hours of the day and night. This project came out of our work with the NYC Streets Renaissance Campaign, and was designed to test the ridiculously easy ways it is possible to create community through vibrant public spaces. To learn more, read www.streetsblog.org streetsblog, to get involved join a project at www.openplans.org, or just put a bench in front of your house.
Where are the hipsters and street hawkers? What about that Luxury condo building across from the cube? These recreations are half-assed and lame.
The shadow in the first pic is an alien.

Not only did the cube spin (a little too easy) and people hang out there, they also gave out 40's in paper bags. The best part is I heard they had to stop people from pissing inside the subway structure.
