2a226 - Burning Man, 1990 - Arrival
Crossing The Line ceremony is a ritual that began with the Cacophony Society Zone Trips. The term Zone was taken from a couple of references which refer to the disorientation with a new environment; 'Gravity's Rainbow', a 1973 novel written by Thomas Pynchon, and also the 1979 science fiction movie 'Stalker' by Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. The Zone is a mysterious place where reality shifts unexpectedly.
We all held hands... and stepped across that line.

Wow... I had totally forgotten about the "Zone" concept. So cool to remember it! (And there's my old housemate, Rob Schmidt, second from the right.)
