Dune Roller

A derogatory term for a flaky non-community-contributing attendee of the Burning Man festival. While this festival has a lot of original artwork, original performance and alternative lifestyles, a "Dune Roller" is there just for the scene, party and overall experience. The worst Dune Rollers are critics of venues without any contribution. (Origin: an analogy to a tumbleweed but heavier and more of a burden.)

Sam, "Is Sandy helping with the Alternative Energy venue this year?"

Darla, "Hell no! That Dune Roller is baked from the time we arrived and won't come down 'til we are back in San Francisco."
