I was camped nearby the Skinny Kitty Teahouse (4:30 & Landfill) They were my halfway stop to rest and enjoy some tea every other night on my way home. While the majority of my experience with them was pleasent, one night (can't say for sure which night it was) I walked off with my tea and sat down o...

Lost my very nice & new LED poi on Saturday night/Sunday morning on the Birthday Cake Bus/Art car. I accidently left them on the couch when they stopped for the night. Ran back 15 min later and they were gone. There was one dude sitting next to me for some time who was admiring them. I believe he wa...

This year was my second burn. In 2005, I was far back and couldn't see any of the fire dancers (I'm 5'3). It bummed me out bigtime considering it was my first burn. This year however, I made my way out to the 2:30 side- a straight shot to Crude Awakening so I could bolt to that after the man fell. N...

My version of Crude Awakening. Edited to Godspeed You! Black Emporer's song "Dead Flag Blues".

I'm just amazed that anyone could suspend during this event, given the conditions of the playa/how much havoc it reeks on the body. I've suspended around 7 times now and each time is so physically demanding, that I couldn't imagine giving up that much of my self on the playa. The desert completely d...

Sorry, I haven't been able to check back here lately, so busy getting ready, as I'm sure most of you are. So to the point! The fishbowl kite flying will be happening on Wednesday, the 29th @ 3pm. We (well at least myself :) . . .) will be meeting at The Temple. Then move accordingly to stay out of t...

Sweet, that sounds awesome! I'll definately join you guys for the 4:20 flying on Thursday. Any sugestions on a good type of kite for the playa?

My two favorite drinks include:

The Purple Hooker
Equal parts vodka & Chambord

The Crowd Pleaser
A mimosa with a shot of vodka (excelent morning drink!) a little goes a long way.

It's late and I just had a cool idea for a fun orginized activity that is family friendly and open to anyone. I am a fan of flying kites and I noticed during my first year plenty of kite flyers taking advantage of the playa winds. I propose that anyone who is bringing a kite to BM this year should b...
