A fact I learned this year from Math Camp was that if you just happened to steal a camera at this year's burn (and shucks who hasn't this happened to - - you see something nice that's not yours and you swipe it), you can still recover the vast majority of you karma by making arrangements to return t...

So sad... with the scramble of activity/emotion/etc, my memories are fuzzy and I so hoped to replay parts of experience, sharing and editing for friends from this year's burn. I believe the camera and carrying case slid off my camelbak near Center Camp or possibly out in open playa on Weds or Thurs ...

not sure which keys on this lace... house, bike and maybe car? anyway, more curious what became of them then having to get back although would be nice to be able to remove bike lock without machinery. hope you had nice burn.

Ooops. Sorry. Wrong thread. I confused this one with Joe Lieberman's Manischevitz Anti-Zoroastrian Tirade.

how can a man give birth?

Well, that was my next question.

Has it been done before? The timing's right for me - I'm due on Thursday, Aug 31 and I think it would be a great start for a new life. I understand the risks I'd be taking, for myself as well as for my newborn. On the other hand, I recognize the potential for his/her arrival on earth to be among a w...

Like I said, no one listens to me.

I listen, baby.

Greetings! Pretty random, I suppose... but basically, think of it like this. I'm gonna be around Centercamp (read: downtown/midtown(?) Manhattan) for my aunt's bat mitzvah/60th birthday celebration this weekend. I actually have a hotel voucher but am planning on giving that to my 91 year bostoner bu...

i love that, princess. thanks.

(nicely encapsulates so much of BM interactions and identity exploration-play)

well, i've noticed that it's an awesome antacid. a friend dropped off a box of grapefruits from his garden (more likely, stolen) and i've inbibed many glasses of the acidic stuff without my usual acid twinge. i'm thining that dust still in my gut doing its work. perhaps i'll run the rest of the juic...

Let me further answer your question by saying that all my experiements at BM were made, like everything i say...tongue and cheek.

Zane, clearly PJ likes his red meat medium rare--- still pink in the middle.

Cough, cough, cough, cough... i can't seem to get the last of p-dust cough... out.

Or not. Fuck it, I'm moving to San Francisco.

well, let's see if someone else comes along and rescues us then, eh? maybe the internet will go down today, 9/11 or something...

ANYBODY OUT THERE? S.O.S.!

I'm sure that next year, however, it'll piss me off. LOL. So who's up for setting up a camp to run guerrilla coffee and chai kiosks outside center camp next year? We'll have to make them mobile so we can beseige the enemy...there's no way they'd let us camp right next to them. Circle the wagons, bo...

Thanks, Spokes. You hit it right on the head for me. That, and I like kissing, so pucker up!

(thanks, friendly guy with the confederate burning man flag)

Ivy, i know, i know... but how? I've been back from BM a week now (or is it two?) and have done a total of about 1 hour of work. Goddamned T1 connection at work and burning mania. Time to go back on meds, i guess. Sigh. Shit, look at you---109 posts!

I'm having trouble letting "the burning man thing" rest. Any advice out there?

not fired yet...

PJ, speaking of injuries, watch out for gadflypaper.

Okay, according to Tawnee... The proceeds from the sale of coffee go to the local area schools. According to PJ* there is a net deficit from the sale of coffee. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ERGO, money must be taken from local area schools to pay off the deficii...

Whaddya say? We could all show up in line for some dumb Hollywood flick e.g. Hollywood Homicide or S.W.A.T... say at the Chinese Mann... then slip on playa tops, bark like dogs and then suddenly disperse back into oblivion...?

Sure seems like someone oughta do something about that selling at centercamp thing, eh?

RHCP: "Give it away, give it away now..."

also, madrone, beautiful prose...thanks for sharing your decade's worth of perspective.

Borris,
congratulations on the new listing for Israel.
That and lard means there really is cause for celebration.

Dav, this straight guy did his part to experiment... Now, what I'd be interested to know is: Do Gay Guys experiment with women at BM?

I'm guessing that's caused by chain smoking and pontificating at great length. Wrong, PJ. I don't smoke. But thanks for revealing your prejudices. Also, in terms of pontificating, I challenge you to find anything pontifical in what I wrote. Perhaps if you take offense by someone advocating giving a...

julie, were you at the cafe protest? i had larryngitis/rasta voice...so i primarily just drummed. i'm thinking of giving away iced chai at the venice beach drum circle this sunday...

Hey, Dabomb,
how bout you and I give each other a little romantic vinegar bath? I do believe there may be some magic pixie playa dust still lodged in my belly button.

thanks for mentioning Ron the Chai Guy's "Free your Chai" movement. that man mobilized our whole camp into giving out delicious, refreshous iced tea just a few paces from centercamp cafe. as much as the recipients enjoyed the stuff, i'm convinced those of us who gave it away, enjoyed it even more. n...
