WHAT
THE F**K IS "PISS CLEAR"?
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.
