Alternate currency that is not trackable by governments? Silk Road friendly? Wanna bet there aren't already users that bridge both communities?

I think you're looking for a rave.
In Burning Man, one of the core principles is to create a city-scale money-free gift economy for a week at a time. Advertising money there, even alternative money, is not going to be taken well. Selling T-shirts will make you look like fools.
The people who attend Burning Man are not the same people who would use bitcoin. Ever. Period.
For those who don't know what Burning Man is, see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX0Wv5HfIXg&feature=related
Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. Burning Man is also an ever-expanding year-round culture based on the Ten Principles.

Most people fly to like Denver, Reno, or somewhere close to rent an RV and drive down.
Auguest 27th- Sep 3rd, tickets should be bought as soon as possible!
I'm thinking of putting a trip together, Erik Voorhees (evoorhees) who has been to BM before and I will handle all the arrangements (Yes Erik I just volunteered you without asking you
)
We can even get a huge BITCOIN banner and educate people, sell t-shirts and what not!
EDIT: We can't sell stuff...but we can giveaway stuff!
So, my question is...Who's In?
