Burning Thoughts

What do you think of when the Man burns on Saturday night?

Iâ€™ve been collecting answers to this, and there are common themes. One strong thread: a burner thinks about letting go of a part of themselves that she has held onto up to know. A fear. A faÃ§ade.

Two burns ago, my thought as the Man was coming down was, â€œThatâ€™s my fear of being creative. Bye!â€

Saturday? I thought it was Sunday! That explains all the ruckus.

"When will they quit with the fucking fireworks and light the goddamm thing?"

"Gotta keep an eye out for random assholes trying to dump their garbage in my boat"

I was kinda disappointed in Burn 2007v2.0. When compared to the Oil Derrick it was a let down. Too much foreplay.

Yeah, the fire conclave's great, but wouldn't napalm be faster?

"Do I circle or do I run away"

"Will my fur catch on fire?"

"This is like being reborn"

Those thoughts all ran through my head when I watched the man burn in 06 the only year I have been.

I hope to have even better ones this year though.

Every year AFTER the man burns.. I think:

I hope I can find my bike now.

You actually bring your bike to the burn?

"You actually bring your bike to the burn?"

Yea... my accordion weighs about 17 pounds... so I always throw it onto a basket on my bike... love to jam before and after the burn.

I "don't leave home without it"
