Paul Addis, 35, a “performance artist” from San Francisco (where else?) has been declared a suspected arsonist by authorities after he allegedly experienced a premature conflagration by burning the “Burning Man”.

This apparent dip shit was busted on suspicion of arson, illegal possession of fireworks, destruction of property and resisting a public officer. After being booked, Addis somehow managed to make a $25,632 bond and was released from jail.

Allegedly Addis torched the 40-foot-tall wood and neon structure about 3:00 am Tuesday, as festival goers were being moonstruck by a lunar eclipse.

The “Burning Man” was supposed to be torched on Saturday night. Since there’s no much left of him, festival engineers have decided to demolish the remains and build a smaller and less complex version for Saturday night’s fire.

Who knows, maybe they will let Addis torch that one too?
