Hi everyone. Spent the day today washing off playa dust from all my gear. Tomorrow we tackle the Jeep. Damn I'm ready for next year. As usual I planned things during the burn and missed everyone of them - except our own event. How'd everyone like the rain Monday? My tent was 99% dust proof but not rain proof. Lots of water on the floor Monday evening.

Same here Geo, but it was par for the course to have all plans turned inside out by mid-week. Fortunately I was still in my car on the road when the rain hit, so by the time we hit the booby bar the ground had absorbed it all.

I am ready to do it all again.

Well, as good as time as could be had w/o Fishy. Although I can say that I didn't fall off anything so that could be construed as fun

Hello everyone!

So, can somebody tell me how do I survive the year round not going crazy? 51 weeks..that is insane!!!

It was great to meeting you...and unfortunate I couldnt see you all.

Fishy i will be in SF, please send me some contact on you so I can find you, really would love to see you

Once again have to thank to all, you guys helped me come and now, I am just lost for BM...and even if I should eat dry rolls all year round to save money, I will come back HOME!

I am sitting back at my desk in front of a pile of papers wondering, "what the hell just happened"?
Misa, it was great to meet you too!

Tuesday evening Misa and I walked from the Booby Bar to Thunderdome, the Temple, Megatropolis, the trash fence and back. It was quite a trip.

Keep yourself busy with art and fun and the weeks will fly. Before you know it it'll be June of 2011 and then you'll feel like you have no time left and it'll all be rush, rush, rush.

Good morning, all. Hi Fishy. Can I call you Fishy? Sorry you couldn't make it. No great Misa stories, except that I met her, and she gives great hugs.

Hi, Misa.

I'm just having straight coffee. I may have over did it on playa, I'm taking it easy for a while.

magicmarty · Post by **magicmarty** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:04 am

You are right Shambala, the week just flew by. Seemed to be over before it began!

Sorry I missed you Sput, but glad you had some time with the amazing Misa! What a gal!

Worrying a bit about YG. Hope all is well in his house.

Time now for a bit of coffee and see who drops in to the NEB

Have a great day all! ((((((ALL))))))

So let me make a recommendation for a morning snack. If you have a Dunkin Donuts near you, pick up a Monkey See, Monkey Donut. This is the winner of the national create a donut contest and my daughter's donut was the winner. Here is Rachel....

Last week went by way to Quick.

swampdog · Post by **swampdog** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 8:55 am

Good morning all you fine and lovely people!! I had the BESTEST time meeting so many of you at the M&G and out and about on the playa. Shambala, how cool about your daughter's donut! Kinetic, congrats on the job offers!

Fishy! My dear fishy, we missed you so.

Dang, I just can't get my workday started without a quick snuggle in the NEB. Anyone available?

jella · Post by **jella** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 9:16 am

(((( snuggle))))
Misa does give awesome hugs !

Lassen Forge · Post by **Lassen Forge** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 9:18 am

Here I sit...

Alone in the office, in my all-too-quiet cubicle, the cabinets and walls strangely somewhat playa colored...

Searching the mundanity of emails... dealing with bosses... scheduling meetings...

And paperwork. Mounds lf paperwork...

Yet I am strangely brought back home. The feel and smell of the playa on my purse, in my coffee cup, a chance and random thought, an email, a hug, schwag still worn...

50 weeks. 6 days. Counting minutes. So much to do already... in preparation for the homecoming which comes all too slow, and passes all to quick into the abyss...

And the love is not vanished, but felt, reinforced, cherished.

Makers, anyone??

swampdog · Post by **swampdog** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 9:45 am

Misa does give awesome hugs !

Absolutely!

And I'm particularly glad I wasn't drinking this year - from the tiny taste of Slivovice I'll bet more than a little of that would have knocked me on my butt.

karine · Post by **karine** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 10:05 am

Good morning all ! Another great year... and BOY did we miss you, Fishy!

LCN & I will be in Reno today for a bit, Reno peeps call us ! (((pm me, if you need our contact info)))

Welcome back to the Real World, you hippies. I know you took a shower when you came back, but you probably missed a spot. Anyway, get back to work.

COFFEE CAMP has landed back in Oregon, safe & intact

Could not of dreamed a better week than the one fate dealt us...great communication/respect, all supplies lasted, and our 1st timers got it (will be coming again next year!) More crazy, fun, and inspirational stories to come...but now...now it's time for c o f f e e

Ha ha! At the motel in Bend I took a long hot shower, then a bath (mostly to soak my various scrapes, cuts, and owies) then ANOTHER shower, cold, with peppermint Dr. Bronner's for the nice tingly feeling. Then another shower in the morning. I don't think I missed any spots.

ETA: Sorry you couldn't make it this year. Hope to see you next time around!

ETA: That is, sorry you weren't at the burn, not sorry you couldn't join me for the shower.
