Thanks to Burning Man’s social alchemist Bear Kittay for posting this one. Click the link below to see a map of Regional Events around the planet. Burner culture is starting to spread, a disorganized organization with a great deal of human potential. Party on, world!

The global population of Burners is estimated by these guys at 64,319. That means Burners.Me, after one year in existence, is being followed by about 25% of all Burners. I’m not so sure about these stats though – maybe they mean “Population of Regional Burners”. A more accurate comparison might be towards the official Burning Man community page on Facebook, which has 417,974 Likes. Which puts us at a mere 4%. Last estimate I heard about JRS (the Jacked Rabbit Speaks) was above 100,000 email addresses, if anyone has more accurate data please let us know.
There is a glaring hole in Burning Man’s global dominance: South America. As I write this I’m in Cartagena, Colombia – which I think would be a great place for a Burn. I’ve met random people down here who asked “have you ever been to Burning Man?”…so the demand is there. And a rich history of beautiful people with beautiful costumes, such as at Carnaval. They would probably have to accept feathers though…
Another glaring omission is the Moon, but the always pioneering Robot Heart seem to have that one covered!
