Of course, there are lots of jokes about this not being the kind of blowjobs one expected to see in and around this structure. I’ll leave any theological discussions to people, regarding their own personal beliefs.

Uh oh. We in San Francisco count on Burning Man to get all the tech bros out of the city, so the rest of us can find parking sometimes. Now they’re going to be streaming back early. Bummer. ---

It’s the location for a particularly in-tents orgy. ---

The structure in the photo does not quit resemble a _dome._ I would bet it would take a lot of wind to destroy a geodesic dome… I have met a man who claimed to have been a bouncer at the orgy tent. (He did use the word “tent”, not “dome”.) ---

My brother’s Persian dome tent was destroyed in the windstorm, too. No orgies, just a Persian feast. ---

In the meantime, the 2025 Burning Man also saw the surprise birth of a baby to a couple who say they didn’t know they were expecting, and the death of a man who as of now remains unidentified. Of course the rumor mill from all sides is whirring rapidly. > **[Were you at Burning Man?

I know this isn’t the most reliable source, and I loathe the pop-ups, but the man has been identified. He came all the way from Omsk, Russia! > **[Burning Man attendee found dead in a ‘pool of blood’ during ceremony...](https://nypost.com/2025/09/03/us-news/burning-man-attendee-37-reported-missing-at-festival/)** > > “He has not been in contact since.
