You may have no better luck after your return.

there was a chatty guy working at the liquor store, he seemed to think it was odd that I was buying a half dozen plastic 750ml bottles and a dozen airline size. I told him I was going to a big party in the desert, it's for sharing. He looked at me kinda funny, and I debated whether to explain. "ever hear of burning man?" More bovine looks. Never mind.

Friends at work have said, "be sure to tell me all about it" to which I reply "as if you could stop me!"

my friend flies in today!!!! we're volunteering at box office, we leave at midnight on the 27th, should arrive around 9 am. hubby arrives 2 days later.

sparkletarte, i'm in the same boat as you! people at work saying "what's burning man?" and i just say "i don't know. i don't know if i'll ever know. i'll tell you about my experiences when i get back, but i don't think burning man can be defined by words!" i'm SOOOOOO excited! and SO scared!

swampdog, we had the same experience in the bike shop. we had to get news tubes and tires for one of the mountain bikes, and none of the big name stores had them, so we had to go to a real bike shop, and the kid was trying to sell us $95 tires! i finally said "we're going to take this to burning man and beat the hell out of it, so i really don't want to spend a ton of money on "look at my big dick" tires." he looks at us and says "burning man? i didn't know anybody went to that any more!" we just smiled. what can you say?

A co-worker just came by and said, "so tell me about this Burning Man, it sounds Scary". I spent half an hour telling her about as much as I could think of, and she said, "yes, but burning the man, is it like a cult or something? Urgh! Next time, I will have to say, "it IS scary". But then, this is the same girl who said, "your boyfriend's necklace is scary". It is a silver necklace with silver eagle claws. I can't wait to go home!! Weeeeeeeee

The anticipation is too much for me to handle. My sanity begins to unravel as my neurons short circuit and my undershorts fill up with feces. Can I hold myself together long enough to make the drive? I know everything will make sense when I get there.
