Harvey, a San Francisco bohemian, started the tradition 14 years ago as a punk-pagan celebration on a San Francisco beach and moved it to a lifeless desert northeast of Reno in 1990 when the S.F. beach patrol kicked him off. Since then, he has nurtured his festival into a lengthy ritual that this Labor Day attracted 30,000 campers to its mix of art, raves, nudity and spirituality. In the process, much has changed. Harvey has driven out some of his original anarchy-loving partners, instituted streets and rules (no guns), and now controls much of the art through...

...tailer. "The online market in Europe, in terms of the number of computers and ISPs and people's general comfort level with the Web, may not be mature enough yet," he says. But e-liquidator KPMG says it's already gotten 30 offers for disposing of boo.com's lifeless husk and will probably make a sale by next week. If the new owners watch their money a little more closely and get the trains running on time, boo.com may yet come back to haunt...
