I wonder if that was it? poor guy. He lived at 5:30 and H. Had a blue tent.

Yay! Metchosin is nice. I went to school down by William Head Prison. Happy equinox right back!

Okay, so I know of three burners.

awesome! I was one of those who lost a contact out there somewhere (moop, moop!) and it would have been lovely to see with both eyes!!

Was it this thing? So trippy!

everybody bring thier vacuum cleaners next year

Forgive my virginity, but is the contraption the thing that was setting off smoke signals?

On Wednesday, my neighbour frantically came to me and asked if I had seen his tent. I hadn't, but it definitely wasn't there. He said he figured if he kept all his stuff in it, it wouldn't blow away. I sent him to the trash fence, but never saw him again.

horny, dusty burners...

Right on! Loved the Roller-rink and it was right around the corner from my camp! Looking forward to a ride on the Soul Train 2009!

Monday at dawn greeter - red hair and beard - had a bit of a bitch session with me (don't know what it was about, but he had been at the gate since midnight, poor guy) - after he was done, he was right on track again; welcome home, ring the bell, roll in the dust! loved him.

thanks for the advice! I did join up with the Victoria and the Vancouver regional, but funny enough, I am having a lot of luck connecting with fellow local burners on Plenty of Fish (not that I am promoting that site)

I was hoping to volunteer for lamplighter too! I think we do it at the info centre...

I am doing something really original and getting a burning man tattoo! kay, maybe not so original, but I am getting one anyway - my tattooist said he would throw it in for free because it is so small. My son is getting one too. I am getting mine on my left inner wrist. I am just tracing the logo fro...

I totally want to be a part of this! How can we get it together? I live in British Columbia. I have a shitload of 80s crap that wouldn't sell in the last garage sale, and for some reason, I can still recall that decade. Video games! If there was some way to hermetically seal my son's "antique" NES a...

haha! you all crack me up, eh. Canadians. haha!

I'll try to remember to bring my skinny tie.

don't forget your nosepicker shoes, painted on jeans, and shoulder pads!!! and hair gel.

Absolutely no offense taken Col.Monk - I totally agree with you! The rv, while welcome, did take away from my pride in survival skills. While I was rarely in the rv throughout the week, just knowing it was there as a refuge likely changed my outlook. I wish I had the gumption to go whole hog and suc...

I saw your panos on the eslplanade! Absolutely mesmerizing! Thanks for those. next year I will see if I can find my virgin campsite!

I ran into a fellow, very drunk, lost in the playa on Friday night looking for the temple. I took his arm and started walking with him to the temple and he told me that earlier that day, a man had told him that he reminded the man of his son who had died earlier this year, and he gave my new friend ...

Repo Man and Heavy Metal film fest!

You could try hosting a game night - Trivial Pursuit, Balderdash, other games from the time?

Have some Christian condescension: http://damnnearwiley.com/LoudMouthWomen.jpg http://damnnearwiley.com/godhateseverybody.jpg (note: These are real.) Loud Mouth Women, High Fullutent and Sports Fan's [sic]...sorry, man. You're screwed. I love the one that points out "adulteresses" specifically, but...

I know some of you are in Courtenay and some in Nanaimo and some in Victoria - message me and maybe we can get together in a central location and connect. I feel so lonely here in Qualicum...

Is it that cool?

yes, I felt completely in tune with both worlds - not necessarily the spiritual and the corporeal, but when all those memories went up in flames, and the crowd of 30,000 went dead quiet, I felt a true connection with the minds and souls of those around me and when we all saw the fingers at the same ...

and also whats the deal with the discovery channel filming a reality show at burning man with out any of our consent to be filmed??!? The show in question was Daily Planet shown on Canadian Disovery Channel. Not reallly a reality show, but a science and exploration type show. I was surprised to see...

thank you muchly - you are invited for a cold beer. How are you with tuning up 1978 Ford Econoline propane vans? Feel like a trip to Vancouver Island?

make sure to pack them in coffee to get them across the border.

[quote="Captain Goddammit"] Generators are great, if they're quiet ones, but here's a suggestion: Get a propane fridge from a camper that's being parted out. They are silent, work GREAT, and use almost no propane. I've brought electric fridges and it's a pain having to keep the AC power on 27/7, esp...

I put my mom's travel journals in the temple because she would have loved to be at Burning Man, or at least see me and her grandson there. I am atheistic as hell, but those whirlwinds brought me to tears and just writing this brings chills. Scientific explanations aside, at that moment in time, seei...
