Dear Larry,

Why is it that this DVDBurner guy has a little animation of what looks like a BackStreet Boy in a baseball uniform doing a macarenea style jig on a landscape that looks like it was clipped from a winnie the pooh book? Do you think he really looks like that? Does he wear a little league outfit everywhere he goes?

Have you ever had choclate covered cheese? It is good, stop by an have some at the porch.

Do you think it is true that the French hate Kung Fu?

Dear Larry,

My feet smell and my nose runs-- does that mean I am built upside down? (That would explain a lot!)

Thanks!

Dear Larry,

Thank you for showing me that a small group of friends and acquaintances can do something big that changes peoples lives, the way they think, and the way they interact with the world at large.

See ya on the playa!

Dear Larry,
Is it true that you consider chickenfish a delicacy? An that you ate my brother?

Dear Larry,

Is it true that this year's Burning Man is brought to us by the letters "Q" and "X" and the number "5"?

Just curious.

P.S.: What's the best way to cook chickenfish?

Dear Larry Harvey--

I have heard the rumor that, starting in 2005, the structure underneath the Man will be a large parking ramp, built out of oil soaked wood, where participants can park their cars for the event. Is this true? I think it is a great idea!

Yes, and after the Man burns, you can remove your cars from the ramp and be the first to leave! :wink:

Dear Larry,

could you let me in on the theme a little earlier next year? I mean, Badger let fly with something pretty early on but who could blame me for being dubious? The earlier you tell, the more I can do. I swear, it will be our 'little secret'.

Dear Larry

Seriously...Thank You

Okay.

Why is everyone moving from the Bay Area to Sacramento. (and all around the Sac Town?) This is driving the prices up around here like crazy.

Does this mean that the BM offices could be moving here as well, if so I can make a mean cup of coffee and can speak in broken Spanish and wouldn't take up very much room in the office at all. :D

Also do you like sushi? If so what is you favorite kind. I know for a fact the kind with tofu is very tasty.

Thanks and hope to see you this Burn.

Dear Larry,

I am my own person and you can't stop me. You can eat grapes and play at the casinos but that won't stop me. If I don't strike while the iron is hot, it will mean fluffy clouds and little pink flowers. You must change as all things do and I don't blame you. Don't take yourself too seriously because tomorrow could be Thursday. Remember you are what you eat so keep you're shoes on. This is the best advice I can give you so go forth and divide.

unreturnably,

Dear Senei,

You are free to organize a theme camp and then you can come early to set up. Or you could volunteer to work for one of the departments that arrives early. So yes, you'll have to work, but you could have more.

Dear Larry,
Cannot thank you enough for your brilliance, your creativity, your light. I never met you. You're kinda like the Wizard of OZ or something. Thanks for Burninman and all you do to keep the groove going. The experiences are enlightening and just plain cool as hell.

Big Hug and Much Love,

Dear Larry Harvey,

The enormity of the gifts you bestow upon burners and their loved ones cannot be quantified, but my being swells to bursting with gratitude to you and every single person and creature who has contributed their love, genius, talents, time, money, blood, sweat, tears and assorted other bodily fluids to the life enhancing, magically-acting dreamworld event called Burning Man. Please accept my undying admiration and respect...

I LOVE YOU LARRY!!!

Peace,
