Seriously, though, I have a number of close friends who go every year, and they absolutely love it. As squeakr mentions, tickets are complicated to get, and demand is much higher than supply. There are also good times to arrive and bad times (you might spend a day in line trying to get in or out). You also need to be very well prepared to support yourself for several days in the harsh environment. I think there are a few good online resources about the best way to approach this - I don't go so I'm not familiar with the best, but I'd recommend a simple Google search to get started.

I do know that your car will be an absolute mess when you are done. This was from my local car wash when I lived in SF:
