Another best: getting an off playa date with an on playa connection that is going to make a biz conference a hell of a lot more interesting!

Re: Alright, let's hear the best and worst from 2012
Oh I forgot one of mine!
Worst turning into Best: didn't see my DPW friend Austin all week. We are leaving Tuesday and I ask Tink to pull over at the DPW building so I can run up and donate a box of food. I walk up with my box and nearly drop it as I realize the person relaxing in front is Austin! I get to give her a big bear hug and give her a box of food before I leave the burn. Awesome sauce.

Re: Alright, let's hear the best and worst from 2012
It was my first burn so it was a little overwhelming to say the least!
Best
*Walking out on to the playa for the first time at night. I mean just looking out onto the horizon is simply breathtaking.
*Visiting the temple. I was on the verge of tears and I was completely sober, for the record!
*Pier II Pirate Ship. I mean OMG what a trippy experience at night. The stimulated ocean and the long walkway really set the fucking mood. I will not forget that experience for a long time.
*Exploring, exploring, and more exploring! I cannot believe how many different things there are to experience. I was blown away.
* Carrots vs. Rabbits protest. This is probably the most absurd thing I saw all week and I loved it!
* For the most part, the people were amazing, friendly, welcoming, and hilarious. I was surprised at how inviting everyone was. The trip reinforced my faith in humanity.
Worst
Being it was my first burn, I was mentally unprepared for the dust. I mean the dust was everywhere within 5 minutes of arrival. I tried in vain to protect things from the dust at first (e.g. our tent) and soon I learned resistance is futile. I was just not ready to surrender my self to what I considered filth but soon enough I relented and just went with the flow!
The heat in the early morning kept me from getting enough rest. I mean even 3 or 4 hours straight. Next year I am definitely bringing battery operated fans for some ventilation.
Some on here were praising the dust storm on Friday but for me it was a bit too much. At first it was cool biking around and seeing stuff come into view and slowly disappear into the "abyss" but that got old after a couple of hours and finally I just called it a night. They are not kidding when they say the playa can be a very hostile/unforgiving environment.
I just wanna close saying that next year I will participate more in the "community". I did not fully understand what BM was until I arrived as such it was hard for me to put much thought/effort into maximizing my contribution. Now I realize how important it is to give something back so I will definitely be more involved in creating a better BM in the future.

2012 makes 7 burns. I got laid only in the year I brought my girlfriend and it was awesome sex, very "in tents." Now you understand what happened the other 6.Roberto Dobbisano wrote:grai, rule one....you wanna get laid at burning man, bring your own hole.
