Burningman is like going to Chuck E. Cheese except the whole
place is filled with old, naked, fat men and you can't find
a towel to hide your erection while your mom is yelling at
you to take out the trash. I LOVE IT !!!!

We have an obligation to make space for everyone, we have no obligation to make that space pleasant.

Thread drifting,
So at christmas we are all showing pics of all sorts of things on the computer and projector at my inlaws house. I pop the SD card out of my camera and load it into the computer.
I open the "BM2007" folder and up comes 1500 or so pics, and half an hours worth of video. they were amazed at the art, music, deathguild, the statues, paintings, poetry, and fireworks.
The super conservative ones were shocked that the "hippy drug, love fest" they had heard about in church as an abomination to all that is pure. Is actually a pretty cool event, with a smattering of nudity and a constant pounding of every genre of music you can name.
I know two more virgin burners that are coming to 2008's burn.
of course its more babysitting for me - but worth it.
ONE EYED - dude you missed another Wednesday!!

In 1998, my son described it to me as:
"a giant party in the desert with incredible art and music... inhabited with the most beautiful girls in the world."
I went the next year and have never missed a year since.

It's something to do until the giant earth destroying asteroid gets here in 2025.

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.

Burning Man is Love, see.
I love the playa in my nose.
I love the clear skies and the mountains surrounding me.
I love the colors covered in playa dust.
Burning man is the way that all camp grounds should opperate. I want to be welcome in any camp. I love saying "hi" and sitting down to a drink and a good conversation.
I love fire.
I love sharing whatever I have with whoever is around.
