From 1995 to 2007, the alternative newspaper PISS CLEAR was a fixture at Nevada's annual Burning Man arts festival, its cheeky name deriving from the Black Rock Desert's #1 survival tip: "drink enough water so that you piss clear." For 13 years, editor and publisher Adrian Roberts and his staff of writers wrote about the colorful culture of Black Rock City, and their snarky and sarcastic tone gave PISS CLEAR its well-earned reputation as the "Vice magazine of the playa." Having started off as a sort-of sassy survival guide, PISS CLEAR quickly evolved into Burning Man's snarky reality check, chock full of hard-hitting articles, acerbic rants, witty commentaries, and funny lists. Along the way, it ended up documenting – as it was happening – the growing evolution of the Burning Man event. THE PISS CLEAR BOOK IS FINALLY OUT!
In March 2009, RE/Search Publications published Burning Man Live: 13 Years of Piss Clear, Black Rock City’s alternative newspaper, a 320-page anthology compiling all 34 issues of PISS CLEAR. It also includes a brand-new essay from longtime columnist Malderor, as well as an introduction from Brian Doherty, author of This Is Burning Man. There are also yearly chapter introductions from Adrian Roberts. Telling it like it was, this is the alternative – and yes, opinionated – history of Burning Man.
