-The fucking unicorns camp with the awesome temporary tattoos and yummy choc. chip banana bread -The Black Planet movie theater for playing beetlejuice!! (it paired perfectly with popcorn from popcorn palace with parmessan cheese and garlic powder) -The lost boys and the super fun Oregon trails car ...

There was a girl working the perimeter of the Trojan Horse the night it burned who was holding a cat (or maybe a small dog?) in her arms, hidden in her cape. Thousands of people, flaming arrows, fireworks, loud music....could you imagine if that cat ran out of her arms?

I got "smudged" a lot last year. Some people really hate the smell of it, but you won't have any problems if you bring it, In my opinion. Go on and cleanse the playa with your sage bundle.....

Maybe you should just stop and wait in Reno? Go downtown and play in the River for awhile? Or the Sparks Nugget if you are both traveling on 395 (you heading north, your friends heading south)
