Re: What are you doing for SF Decompression!?
Ended up going and even doing a little bit of volunteering and I must say the event this year did not suffer at all from the lack of certain sound camps.

Re: Car shopping!! What's a good a Burnermobile????
I hear Ford makes some kind of F250 with a hybrid engine. That's burney as fuck. (Not because of the environment but because it makes long distance driving with a carful of crap way cheaper.)
The only shame is that hybrids can't come in manual.

Re: 2012 confessions - CLEANSE YOURSELF
I think I gave our neighbors the spicy pickles.

Re: What 'worked' and what didn't make the cut.
Anyone got any recommendations for playa boots that are friendly to a no-shoes type of foot?

Need something boot-like, with a...
