List? What list?

I figure there will be a tent, an air mattress, clothes, food, water, and sunscreen. And 1 ply TP of course. Not that I don't wish I were driving there with a uhaul full of inflatable alligators, building materials, and a cunning plan.
That which does not kill us only makes us stranger.

list.
um.
man.
geez.
list.

I can't wait to get to my new improved list. That'll mean I'm only a few weeks out.

I'm going light as a feather this year, unlike any other. Just me and my Ford Ranger with a canopy.

I'll take my old list and circle the necessaries and hope they'll all fit in nice like.

This summer will go down in history for me as the summer I rarely looked up until mid August.

silly, I spend my spare time here on eplaya.

I'll get my list up.

Thanks for the reminder Mozy.
I'm really glad you'll be out on the playa. We shall meet.

After thoroughly reading the eplaya I thought the only things I'd need on my list are bacon, lube, pbr, and water/sunscreen if there's room (after all, there's water in beer).

Just kidding -- my list is ridiculously long. I'll spare everyone.

-- Five sheets of high-powered blotter acid
-- Salt shaker half full of cocaine
-- Galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers
-- Quart of tequila
-- Quart of rum
-- Case of Budweiser

Irony. You're soaking in it.

The great thing about going to Burning Man for a really really long time is that most of the stuff you need is already laying around and covered in a thick layer of playa dust for you. I do need a new tent and a new bike this year, but other than that it's just the super basics like food, sunblock, water, propane, batteries, costumes, and stuff to gift. Next week is costume shopping week and also the week I need to get my tent ordered. After that I'll need to order some EL wire and MREs and then I'm set until my food run right before the burn. It's my littlest sister's first year this year though, and I she asked me for a list. I didn't realize how huge and daunting those things can look until I typed it out for her. Yikes!

The Best Things In Life
By: Robert Day
Copyright 2008 Robert J. Day



They say that in life you gotta play the hand you’ve been dealt. I say that’s total bullshit. When life gives you a shitty hand you cheat to win. Bluff, hide cards, double deal, whatever you gotta do man. Keep crapping out in the game of Life with every throw of the dice? Well load them dice up baby, and watch the 7’s and 11’s start popping up like a horny geriatric on Viagra and cheap Tequila. In the end it all comes down to chance, but luckily there are sometimes ways to stack the odds in your favor.
There comes a time in every young mans life when he realizes he is never going to grow up to be the perfect man he always pictured himself to be. No matter what they may have told you in grammar school, once you reach a certain age and fail to reach a certain status or social standing, certain dreams become unobtainable. You CAN NOT do anything you set your mind to, society places limits on what your mind can achieve, based on the amount of money, formal education, power, and influence you have thus far acquired. Somewhere out there, a man is doing great things in the field of medical research, but no one will ever know, because he’s doing them in his basement for fun after he comes home from his job at the janitorial service. Such a shame his girlfriend became pregnant around the same time his mom got sick with cancer and died, and he was forced to drop out of medical school because he had to take care of her and had no way to pay his tuition. Shit happens, and just a little bit of bad luck can destroy even the best-laid plans of the smartest and most qualified, most well-deserving individual. Like I said, in the end it all comes down to chance. Deal with it any way you need to, the fact is it’s Lady Luck who decides our fate.

My name is Richard Pettington the third. I’d been a loser for most of my life, my but my luck was about to change for the better, and in a big way. I’ll never be an astronaut, and I’ll never be a Cowboy. I’ll never be an underwater explorer like Jacque Costeou , discovering sunken pirate ships and recovering chests full of gold doubloons, each one a piece of history. I’ll never be a famous celebrity, spending my life chased from one gated estate to the next by a group of camera wielding paparazzi every bit as vicious as a pack of starving and rabid wolves.

But I have managed to make one of my dreams come true, I’m fucking richer than God! Well, maybe not that rich, but I did steal a million dollars recently, and with the right investments I could be. Or maybe I’ll just go to Vegas for the weekend and come home broke as a joke. Wouldn’t be the first time, and with this much cash I could stay in the penthouse of the Venetian instead of an economy suite at the Circus-Circus.

It started with an idea. If you steal a million dollars from one person and you get caught, you’re going away for a long time. And even if you spend years planning it just right there’s still enormous risk involved. On the other hand, it’s pretty easy to steal a dollar from someone, especially if they have more than one lying around, and even if you get caught, what’s the most they’re gonna do to you for stealing a single dollar? So instead of trying to find the elusive “big scoreâ€

Okay, perhaps a little explaining is in order, first, it's Beacon, not Bacon, last year I would ride right by my camp in the dark and not know until I was several blocks past it, so I made a kind of street sign out of a styrofoam head and a couple of wooden skulls which I decorated with LED glasses and glow, creating a kind of lighted beacon for my camp, thus the styrofoam head beacon was born. Version 2.0 should be even cooler! :wink:

The condom dispenser is one of those clear plastic women's torso things that lingerie comes on from Victoria's secret and places like that, (just like the one in the pic, only clear.) my buddy found it laying out by the dumpster and thought it would be hilarious to draw on the naughty parts with a marker after cutting a small hole in the nether regions, and give it to me, and I knew as soon as I saw it that I was going to use it for some kind of art project. I'm going to glue it down to a cardboard backing which I'll decorate properly of course, and fill it with condoms, then hang it in Center Camp. Anybody needing prophylactics can insert a couple fingers into "my girl" and pull one out. You probably won't need it, but for the lucky ones who do, it'll be there.
Image

Stag Camp signage is just signs for my camp, Stag Camp, since I'm arriving early and will be helping with the land grab.

Flags are exactly that, I have an American flag and a California flag I'm decorating and altering, which I'm bringing to burn as part of the trash fence Tipi art project.

"Hippie shit" refers to tie-dyed t-shirts with the man logo and the words "dirty hippie!" on them. I've got the dye and the shirts but I'm a tie-dyeing novice so there's a good chance I'll fuck this one up. I originally bought the tie-dye kit to use on this three piece suit I have, but the suit is wool so it won't work. That's where "colorize the fucking suit asshole!" comes in, I'm currently in the process of trying to get my graffiti artist friend over here to airbrush it, otherwise I'll have to try to do it myself with stencils and fabric paint. Maybe el-wire if there's time and I come up with extra cash.

"Grease" is my sister Lisa, who owes me a thousand bucks I'll most likely never see.

The piece of story was just something my brain shit out when I was tired of fucking with the Burning Man list, I just reread it and it's not as horrible as I thought, maybe I will finish it...

Senor Tequila and I are no longer on speaking terms I'm afraid, but I do plan on bringing some good bourbon. I'd really like a Mason jar of some of that good Tennessee shine from up in the Smoky Mountains, it's been too long...
