They had Stagg chili in boxes .. about the size of a kid's juice box, for 69 cents (limit 6 for cardholders). A single serving per box. I like the idea ... less waste and boxes can be burned and they store more compactly, less wasted space than a box of round cans.

And thanks for sharing your bladder status, nips, that was very intimate of you.
wow, geekie. I was a newbie last year and even I knew about the chili in a box....

Well fuck me with a stick ... I guess I don't get out from under my rock often enough. I see something new every time I go in there.

Morning GE!!!

Now for some coffee.

Just got back from a get together at someone else's (my daughter-in-law's) family's house. Weird. I was wishing I was with Burners.

Settling into some serious classical music, some spiced chai (and some of Tisha's wonderful herb tea) and an exellent book (Quicksilver, Neal Stephenson). I may watch the new Orson Welles DVD that my son got me (The Stranger) later on...

Peace on this bit o' Earth, y'all...

Just dropping in for a quick nip o' anything. Looks like I'm alone, but you never know who might be lurking.

Merry Xmas everyone.

Here's a big ol' swimming pool of the stuff for Magikal (aka "Customer #1 in the bar - check the first page you bozos.) And one for Sputnik. And another one for Samtzu. And one for Buckethead Alien, should he walk in here. Same for the Wopster.

Andre'! Yiiiiiiii.... I get woozy just saying the name... I always had an oily feel in my mouth (and my intestines) after a night of that stuff....

Sure, I'll have some...

I think is was my sister who told me that they use ether somewhere in the manufacturing process; thus the warm afterglow, or "headache" as you call it. Have you ever noticed nothing moves through your system faster than champagne? That's one fast buzz... I try not to focus on the inevitable crash-landing.

Wow, I just had an interesting conversation.

My "mother-in-law" (parenthetically because we aren't married) gave me some burning man books. I got to talking to my bother-in-law and he has always wanted to go. The thing is ... he is loosing his sight ... so next year maybe be the last year he could possibly go and get anything visual out of it. This is going to be an amazing year.

Well, I liked the idea but the implimentation would probably be more than I can do this year, I think. I don't really have the gear to do it the way I want to.

I might find a way to work some music into the it project but it would be just a little aside.

Oh, and we did find a toy goat.

Yo! Lawg Iosland! Hook it, babe!

G-Ster were you around when those freakin' mind-splitting horns blew during the burn? I was telling GE about them the other day but realized I didn't know whether they were just speakers or something else. Tibetian sound?

Have you ever read House of Leaves? Your red its made me think of this amazing book. Right, GE?
