Huge presence at the airport this year. When the burner express planes pulled up all the bags were put onto carts and the dogs were walked up and down. I did hear that they were only confiscating, not issuing citations, and that they were looking for large quantities rather than personal use amounts...

Just got my tickets. UPS delivery, signature required, no email received.

The Burning Man Facebook event page says starting at 6pm. But I never trust anything on Facebook. I'm hoping that the gates open at 10am again, it sure was nice to actually set up in the daytime. I keep looking every day for the official time so I can plan my departure to. When the facebook event n...

I was looking at something like this:

It packs up small and looks comfortable.

OMG that is so true. I brought back two six-packs and have savored each and every one of them. I wish I had saved one. I still have a water bottle and a cooler that are covered with dust and I can't bring myself to clean them.

Tickets yes, but do they need to wait in the will call line?

done! Whew that was stressful. YAY, I'm coming home!

At Home Depot I found a three foot diameter black plastic thing that is to put under a hot water heater in case it leaks. It has a two inch lip and a pvc pipe fitting on it. Since it is already black the water evaporates out of it pretty well. It holds about two gallons of water and with the pipe fi...

In hollywood they used to use sugar based fake glass for stunts. The problem is that once formed it degrades quickly so it may need to be manufactured on Playa. Now they use a resin based product for break-away glass called Piccotex.

They aren't kidding. It was the best blow job I've had all year. By the time it was done, my kilt was around my ears.

Welcome to Portland!

By and large it was a very placating response, full of what all of us want to hear. Very obviously absent was any mention that the worst offenders of the commodification camps were perpetrated by BM project board members. "Burning Man does not condone this activity. Commodification camps are not onl...

All this talk about food is making me hungry.

Late afternoon dozing under the shade structure. Vaguely aware of a conversation going on nearby, when I hear a guy say, 'Yes I put pennies in my ass, take them out, clean them, and then leave them in take-a-penny leave-a-penny dishes around town" Intrigued I sat up and asked him why. He replied, 'S...

The way people camp next to their planes is intriguing,

Why was this intriguing?
