It's almost that time again! As many of us prepare for this summer's Burning Man from Monday, August 26th to Monday, September 2nd, we are reminded of some of the great (and not so glamourous) moments of the week-long summer festival in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada. The following GIFs highlight some of these memorable moments and experiences from the early stages of planning costumes and packing for the festival to actually arriving and taking it all in. Relive these exciting and unforgettable moments and get excited for the 2013 edition in only a few short weeks.
