I don't know about mass, but if a Catholic priest showed up he'd be busy all week just hearing confessions.

I nearly jumped out of my chair when I saw that treehouse!

Hi Karine! Hope life is treating you well! Hayden: Sorry I haven't checked back sooner. This year will be my 7th Burning Man. I try to take a different route each year; I figured out there's a bunch of America to see between Oklahoma and the playa. This year, I'll be coming back by way of Idaho and ...

Hey there! I'm in Broken Arrow, just outside Tulsa. Welcome to Oklahoma!

Very nice! That's a great gift!

These pictures are amazing! Any idea how high up the plane was when the pictures were taken?

Great pictures!

I loved being a Greeter this year. I am absolutely volunteering for it again.

I don't leave for another five days, and my car's already packed!

I drove Hwy 50 back in 2004, and it was a unique experience.

Howdy! For Tulsa-area folks, a good start is to check out http://www.midwestburners.com/ --they sponsor regional events up in Missouri. A little closer to home is http://www.okburners.com/ . I also have my trip reports to Burning Man on my website at http://www.burningclam.com/

There's one way out of Burning Man that never bottlenecks: the airport. Somebody with a little land along Hwy. 447 (like maybe the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation) could build a landing strip and start up an air shuttle service. It could ferry people on and off the playa by air. The service could ch...

Ha! That should be on a button.
I'm not gonna let one ignorant person ruin my Burning Man experience!

Is there a snail mail address for people to mail in submissions (art, etc.)?

A couple of years ago, I lost my Swiss Army knife somewhere on the playa. I'd carried that thing for years. It was a gift, and meant a lot to me. During the Exodus, a stranger passing by just handed me a pocket knife! He said I looked like I needed one, and then he disappeared. It still amazes me to...

Very nice! Great pictures!

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."
--Groucho Marx

I'm currently reading "Ivanhoe" by Sir Walter Scott.
Why? Because I've never read it before.
I try to alternate between reading fiction and non-fiction books.

My first year, I brought a bunch of army MRE's to eat. First thing I learned was that the altitude of the playa took them longer to cook--about 20 minutes instead of 12-15. The second thing I learned was that MRE's aren't supposed to be delicious or filling-- they're designed to give you just enough...

Those are great pictures!

Beautiful! Just beautiful!

One of the problems with Exodus in 2006 was the limited number of licensed state flaggers. The state of Nevada requires that anybody out on the road directing traffic is trained and licensed to direct traffic properly and safely. Everyone working Exodus was required to be licensed. There were only s...

I'm in Broken Arrow! I probably won't be going this year, but I'm gonna try to make it in 2008. My 2006 trip report is here:

Beautiful pictures! I'm glad somebody got a picture of the Yellow Submarine.

The Yellow Submarine! Somebody built a model of the Beatle's Yellow Submarine, but the only time I ever saw it was at the burn.

At last year's burn, there was a guy going around with pads of paper and colored pencils. He was asking people to draw their self-portraits, which would be posted later at his camp. I never got the name of his camp-- what happened to the portraits? Were they burned at the Temple, or what?

I'll be bringing the shirt you tagged for me at Interfuse!

How about this. The organizers can designate a single street for photographers. If you want to photograph the CT parade you line up on that street. Now if you DON"T want your photo taken you go down the alternate NON-PHOTOGRAPHER street. The parade will then converge at the end of non-photographer ...

In regards to getting permission before taking pictures of people: it should be pointed out that when TV networks broadcast professional sporting events and, in between plays, turn their cameras on the folks in the stands, the networks don't bother of handing out thousands of release forms before sh...

There used to be a link to a Gerlach or Black Rock Desert remote weather station. It had histories and temp and wind speed, so you could actually look these things up - only my bookmarked link is dead. Does anybody know what happened to this?
