He WAS doing an art piece. He DID an art piece. You just don't get it [yet]. Art is supposed to make you think and wonder.


But the best comments of all are after this post:

I had that Post Playa Depression really bad the first two weeks after I got home. The Eplaya helped, and just plodding through my chores of cleaning and having to finish other projects I dropped before the camping trip really were the only thing that kept me from being a slug. Having a pool to swim ...

Lydia Love: OK... one of the sexiest things in the whole wide world (to me) is when a man is just about to have an orgasm it's like all the blood in his body rushes to his skin and he blushes *all over*. Anyone else noticed this? I can get tingles just thinking about it. Mmmmm, yes, I get tingles j...

Inge, why only one this year? Are you just burned out on them? See you tonight.

Z D.O.G.man

Responding to "Nipples" last post: Sounds like the right approach. I've had a similar approach to dating. Keep it casual for longer than I used to. (It helps that I'm maturing, less testosterone "thinking with the little head"). I've never had anyone stalk me, but I did have some wake up calls: a br...

Here's another couple good shots of the temple where you can make out the unicorn pretty clearly. I still haven't seen the dragon.

Read the book "Finite and Infinite Games" by James P Carse for ideas how your experience can change the world. It's short but filled with lots of philosophy about how you approach life creates the world you live in. I think Burning Man will change the world, and hopefully the complaints registered h...

I was going to go to Burning Man five years ago, but my car broke down, and I took the opportunity to date and get to know better a gal I had met shortly before. Before the end of the year we had gone to Tahiti together. I should have found a way to get to burning man instead. Clues that I shoulda k...

Tawnee L, Thanks for your latest note. It will probably help some of the animosity you've been getting (as long as you don't continue to attack people for your part in it). I think the reason people were so offended by your center camp posts is it ~appeared~ as though you didn't care to know the rea...

I confess to being extremely horny all week and yet only had a few pecks on the cheek. I confess that in retrospect I probably missed a couple opportunities to make out with women, and maybe even have sex. I confess that that's pretty much the way it is for me in the real world too. I confess that I...

those things are my most feared creature on earth. I totally understand fear of scary looking bugs, but really, praying mantises are about as docile to humans as a bug can get. I have a totally rational fear of wasps. I've been stung on my nipple, the soft part of my thigh and on the tip of my peni...

When cornstarch or talcum powder get wet (and they eventually do), that nasty paste is very unsexy. Talc, yes, it makes a nasty paste, but Corn Starch won't make a pasty mess unless you put the whole box down your pants, and I certainly don't recommend that! Just enough to powder your behind & what...

and of course I will always be saddled with permanent crushes on Charbie and Vixen and Girlie and Danette and Lindalicious.

CORN STARCH!
CORN STARCH!
CORN STARCH!

I have a crush on the Mama of Mama Sutra. That voice! That Funky Bass! That sexy bod! That gorgeous face! And she's always been really nice when I talk to her, and super smart too! Total YUM!

Last year I had one land in my lap just sitting in camp. This year I saw a couple of them, one came right to me. then just yesterday I found one climbing on my tent after I washed off the playa dust. I don't know if it rode all the way home with me in my gear or what, but I put it on my tomato plant...

I found excellent jazz tunes at Camp Carp late Saturday night/Sunday morning. They let me hang out a bit even though I was dressed in my raver disguise.

...it's only because I've found everything Burning Man has and MORE within Gigsville and Nuclear Family and Church of Wow and Clan Destino and the people that are continually orbiting and getting sucked into those vortices.

To those who found Gigsville Uninviting:

What could be more inviting than LIVE PIG FUCKING, right by the entrance gates?

Puhleeze!

The first one that comes to mind is simply the unfettered kindness of the community I have adopted in the last year. I come from a large family and these people have reminded me of the best things of that early life experience. I have found my tribe. Long Love Gigsville! 2nd thing: I donated my pape...

This is almost certainly the moment when the horn, mane and body were burning spectacularly, but it's low rez. It's by the left pillar. The previous picture in the series you can see the silhouette better, but only the mane is burning.

PS: I made a paper mache Dragon Head and donated to the temple too, and I suspect (but don't know yet) that they placed it in a visible location somewhere else on the temple. As above, any photos of the Dragon head burning would be greatly appreciated.

Note how Gothalot stoops to putting other people's words in my mouth and insulting me personally without cause, after I politely and carefully point out his/her misappropriated anger and wishy washy flimflam nature so other people won't be bamboozled by it. This is better evidence than any argument ...

Sorry, you opened the can of worms and now you're trying to seal it back up to avoid responsibility for your vitriol. "IT" happened to me? You imply something bad happened to you, but so far we haven't heard the big bad thing. What happened exactly? The way you wrote it the first time it sounded lik...

I made the paper mache unicorn that they mounted up front in the temple and it burned magnificently. After the temple spire fell, the unicorn's mane caught on fire and it rapidly spread through the entire head. It was gone in about five seconds, and I would LOVE to have a shot of it in the process o...

The Shark Bar was notorious for being out of control in their art train. They ripped the door right off my friend's cherry '57 chevy pickup truck, and one observer I spoke to commented that it looked completely intentional. What the fuck is up with that?

That's a hoot and a half. I find Gigsville in general to be one of the most welcoming groups I've ever run across, although to be sure there is no groupthink or giant homogenized clique there. It just happens to be a group that practices radical inclusion, which is one of the burning man ideals I he...
