Arrest made after Burning Man torched early

[Roon]

SAN FRANCISCO - Burning Man became Burnt Man four days early on Tuesday, and a San Francisco performance artist was arrested on suspicion of igniting the signature figure of the counterculture festival in the remote Nevada desert.

The early morning fire scorched about 85 percent of the structure, Burning Man spokeswoman Andie Grace said.

Event engineers decided it would be best to dismantle it and rebuild a less elaborate version, accomplishing in two days what normally takes weeks so the figure would be finished in time for Saturday night’s scheduled burning, she said.

1. "Buzzkill" is not performance art.

2. All in the name of the eclipse.

He should have known better.

3. Someone does something unexpected at an anarchy festival?

Weird.

But he was doing his own thing...
