As the vaccine rollout accelerates and infection rates drop in California, the state is beginning to reopen, with indoor dining now available in all nine San Francisco Bay Area counties and everything from movie theaters to gyms welcoming people back indoors.
People who have received the vaccine can step inside newly opened businesses with the reassurance that their chances of catching the virus are very low, especially if they follow public health guidelines and wear masks. (It s still unknown how readily they transmit the virus to unvaccinated people, though there s increasing evidence that it s likely very little.)

The future of the 2021 edition of Burning Man is still up in the air, but up until last week, it looked like fans of artful, off-grid experiences in the desert had another option.
The Everywhen Project bills itself as a surreal camping & art festival that takes place in . Black Rock Desert, Nevada, the same general location as Burning Man, in a 2 mile area they’ve dubbed Mandala City. It was listed to take place from July 25 to Aug. 2 with capacity for 15,000 attendees, but with the caveat that their permit is still pending. That didn’t stop them from selling tickets at $273 each for the event, subtitled the Electric Universe.
