The Bar 2017 Edition

[FIGJAM]

It was a joke.

Life coach?

I make up the plays as I go along!!!

[lucky420]

*whew...

I thought you were trying to tell us something in a snarky fatalist way.

[Aurelia]

Hello dear bar!
Lucky don't worry about Figgie we all know the good guys and he is definitely one of them.
And happy Mother's Day!
Well I have a lot of children .
XOXO

[ygmir]

*sets rounds on the bar*

a toast to Bruno.
Though I didn't know him personally, so many of my friends did, and liked him.
A colorful character, to be certain.
"Fair winds and smooth seas, Bruno, may you reach the other shore, and may it be fine"

Salud!!

[Thecatman]

Never met him either but seen him a few times

[Ratty]

Boy I could use a mojito. I wanted to drop off a copy of this years subway schedule. Don't bother with MVs or bikes. This is so much easier.

Many of the token machines were broken last year by Wednesday but other than that, the subway was great!

[Ratty]

I'm ashamed to say I jumped the turnstile. Blame it on the alcohol.

[AntiM]

There is snow on the ground this morning. Gah.

That sounds like it means something...

[Thecatman]

Mornin All!!

Getting my hair cut today.

[Ratty]

*Prances in dragging a duffle bag. * Hi all. Brought my own wine. What a fun time sewing with Census today. Two guys learned not to be afraid of the sewing machines. They decorated their own lab coats. Experimented with different designs of stitches and sewed on circular patches. Fun for everyone. I'm beat. *Flops down in a pile of dust.*

[Savannah]

Afternoon All!

[AntiM]

That's decaf, I think.

[ygmir]

*wanders in*

wow, just me and chirping crickets?

well, Just back from the playa.
There's still a fair amount of standing water, but the dry areas are super nice, so, lets hope..........
Saw a cloud dragon, too:

Thanks..

[ChanceFlashLightning]

Ygmir, those pictures are great! It's kinda nice to see something other than lake memes! How was the rendezvous?

[Aurelia]

Good morning dear bar!
It's a weekend of music and dance and music and dance and music and dance and music and dance
Yggy does that mean there will be more West Nile disease out there?
Unh The poem was written by a master indeed but today I am off to Muir Beach Firemans ball!

[ygmir]

yeah, West Nile.....well, from the mosquitoes we sampled and tested, the numbers seem to be holding steady.

We didn't get to stay very long, due to injury and illness, we had to pack up and leave. so not sure, but I'd imagine the rendezvous was wonderful, as always!

My best takeaway was that the normal "rivulets" and such, that impeded high speeds along the shoreline during "hippie herding", seem to have filled in, making for smooth surface right up to the shoreline.

[Joeln]

How bad were the ticks Yggy?

[ygmir]

I'm hardly twitching at all, Joeln. thanks for asking.

*sets out drinks for a toast to "those who gave all"*

Skol.

[Aurelia]

Yggy!
Good morning
Good on your humor side.

[unjonharley]

Just sitting behind the large dust bunny in the corner ..

[bigbluedoggy]

And the huge spiders, Ygmir? Were they out in record numbers? Those giant furry black and orange ones are so pretty when they swarm all over our windshield on the way in. Best thing is they're fond of eating all of the giant crickets that cover every inch of our camp when we arrive. Whew... I'd hate to think we'd have a year without the giant insect infestations! It would be a shame if newcomers were frightened off by the thought of huge swarms of spiders, crickets, ticks, fleas, etc. It's just such a fun part of the Burn!

Thanks for the update!

[Ratty]

Yeah. I like it too. They disappear temporarily when the wind/dust blows em. Mainly they huddle in my tent and shade structure. I need a drink just thinking about it.

Just got back from the soak ( oregons regional burn ) was a great time. They really went all out , was very close to the real burn , people were great. Got my ticket from Ygmir , tickets were sold out very quickly this year. I didnt get any , but Ygmir saved the day They are talking about a new area for last year , cause the spot we have is getting small. Was many folks of all ages there , seen Foxfur but he was busy setting up the main burn , so I didnt get to say howdy . Seen Bbadger there , he had a interactive light sculpture displayed which was very cool. Met alot of new friends , neighbor gave me a salmon steak wrapped in cedar planks , was the best meal I had out there. At 4:20 alot of camps were handing out free joints etc.
Told ygmir I would take some picks to show him , but I never got the camera out , was just to busy having a good time sry .
My friend took some movies , I will see if any of them turned out ,and may post later.
