I remember that. Truly touched that I could reflect in that moment. ((HUG))

I have tears in my eyes. But no words. Thank you. ((hug)) <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mwQeRKijmI This video may have been one of the more important elements in keeping my son alive in the winter of 2010-11. The timeliness of it just blew me away. "These AREN'T the best years of your life" - ...

I'm glad there wasn't a Pavlovian nausea response. Glad you liked the videos.

My pleasure! Thanks for making me (and everyone) feel welcome!

Thank you! What an honor. (But I tell you, it took me hours to coordinate that dust cloud entrance.) Great to meet you in 2012 with my girlfriend. It was her first burn and I had shown her almost all of your videos to get her prepared. You literally appeared out of a cloud of dust, it was pretty cli...

ALL of them? um... I was young and needed the money. They told me nobody would ever see those.

I look forward to that hug!

That is so wonderful to hear. Thank you! See you soon! <3 Halcyon, My Wife and I meet you in person in 2012. What a blast, you are a warm host and a great guy. Our visit with you made 2012 out best burn. Watching your video was what made me go to Burning man the first time in 2011. Have a safe trip ...

Nice of you to ask. Absolutely! I'd be thrilled.

Thanks, Captain!

Captain Goddammit wrote:Halcyon I've been at this long enough to be familiar with all that stuff but I still enjoy the hell out of your videos!
Highly recommended for new and old burners!

I just wanted to share a link to my (now 14) Playa Tips & Tricks videos. A good place to direct newbies, but many of them are about the Principles and can be good reminders even for the most grizzled vets.

See you in the dust!

LOVE what you said, aidenus. Burning Man is what TAUGHT be to see the positive. This experience is just more lessons for us.

Hope to give you a dusty hug.

enjoy!

here's a short music vid I made of 06 footage to help ease re-entry. Hope it brings you back for a few dust-filled breaths. http://www.veoh.com/vlogs/cockyvision (the first or second vid) or direct link: http://www.veoh.com/videoDetails.html?v=e116184nDDCf6hH or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTqMul...

It's funny, after 3 years on the playa and meeting hundreds of people I have never felt judged or analyze...before this. I see this a lot on the ePlaya, thank god not on the real playa. I am not here to pick a fight with anyone so I will not retort to the slew of judgements that were made about me ...

if you are looking for more video, here's a short music vid I made of 06 footage to help ease re-entry. Hope it helps!!

--Z.

*smile* Yes! The 'Naughty Hug' (patent pending) has been a part of my playa persona since 2000. I'm stoked it stayed in your memories!

We were dancing at the Deep End, one of the same days you were there, in full gender bending regalia. The cute girls in our camp took boat loads of shots of you. They were very happy to hear from Whit and Tina you were playing for the team they might have a chance to hit with. I think their fantais...

links for camp, people, temple, and some taken with a disposable. They are Halcyon-centric. But some good ones in there, too.

You know, I saw you all week, but was never in the right space to come up and say anything to you... WISH I HAD!!

Next year, perhaps....

I'll have an extra big hug for you next year. Thanks.

Woo-Hoo!! I wonder if my condo neighbors would mind getting a vibrating hug. I'm in withdrawels!

One of my vibrating hugs was caught on video. It makes me giddy. Just wanted to share.

The jock strap had a "back massager" inside

Another fun tour, lennyjones!

THANK YOU!

Pets: My brother and 4 of our neighbors got what you had, it sounds like. For about 24 hours they were OUT of commission. Barely able to speak, vomiting, unable to stand. We thought it might have been food poisoning...but if you got it, too...hmm.

While running behind the water truck for my daily rinse/ baptism, an angel on a bike handed me a soap on a rope (with a BM symbol carved in it) and an attached washcloth. She had dozens and was handing them to all the mobile bathers. An EPIC gift that left me smiling all week.
