Coming from Longmont....camping in Fire Camp (BRC's working firehouse) at 3 o'clock and C. Look forward to seeing you out there on the playa.

"we all learned a valuable lesson: Don't give weed to drag queens in pot leaf cars. They might very well be under-cover cops."

You know, you can live by rules like this.
