And keep sharing your story. You never know when your confidence and healing will help heal another life. As an aside: Through my job I've received a copy of the LiveSTRONG book on CD. It's described thusly: "Survivors from all walks of life talk about what "living strong" in teh face of cancer mean...

I found some photos in the BM archives. I've definitely decided that bat wings are out. Whoever you are with the batwings in 2003, the ones that appear to be about a 10 foot total span, holy crap. Stunning. And I could never hope to do something that outstanding. Ivy, your peacock tail is cool. Do y...

Kinetic, be there photos floating about in which I could see your wings?

OR I could make one huge Chinatown accordian fan thing and play peacock.

Wheeee.

That's a great idea. And no. Absolutely no feathers. EL wire maybe. And while I had thought of the wind (I'm planning fabric in strips rather than "sheets" of fabric) I had NOT thought of how hard it would be to maneuver wings while in a crowd or trying to enter/exit structures. Folding wings? Well,...

Has anyone ever made wings? I am interested in making for myself at least one, if not several, sets of wings. There are many premade costume wings out there with Halloween looming, but nothing that looks like it would hold up in Black Rock City. Additionally, I'd prefer to make my own and I want som...

I was in tears not 20 minutes ago, in the middle of my office, reading about our dear Burner who found help on the playa and was reminded of why Burning Man is so cool. Then I'm wondering, and having that wonder answered (by other Burners who don't feel too intrusive to ask the question). Did she or...

Dragonfly, due to a change of plans in my 2004 world I was unable to attend Burning Man. I had to sell the ticket that had been hanging on my front door for six months (I'm really sorry about the confusion with that Last Real Burner). It was heartbreaking. Because of travel I took the same week I sa...

Even after ensuring my vacation time was scheduled and my ticket was purchased early I had to miss Burning Man this year. There's no way to express how grateful I am to you, and others of course, for posting photos from the event so that I don't have to COMPLETELY miss my visit to the playa. Your ph...

Clearly most people have given up on this rather silly poll and conversation, but I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't put in my two cents on the Viet Nam comment that was made twice. 'If the Viet Nam War were going on right now...' would we be heading out to the Black Rock Desert to basicall...
