Hey my Birthday is on the 26 of Sept, and I was thinking of having a Birthday Party and Decom Party all rolled into one that whole weekend. It would really would be close to a real burning decom simply because where I am. I am half way between LA and San Francisco in the Mojave Desert. As you guys know, it is a private ranch in the middle of nowhere, with a major road that runs through my property. We have cell service, internet, water service, Direct TV and center camp.

Come out and unfold your bad burning self. I was thinking about resurecting the old Driveby shooting range.

here is the link to what's out there now

Thank you Clark

Hugs Zoom~

I so missed Lorgasm this year the most. I was able to see lots of people I love so dearly this year.
I also met some great people I hope to spend more time with in future years. My virgins from this year are now burners
And now I miss them so much.

I have so many Playa moments this year I am still in a blissful state.

John Avila plays bass for Oingo Boingo and also the bass for the Mutaytor. So burn night I took my three girls to see the man burn then shortly after went to the red nose district to watch the Mutaytor perform live. The girls not knowing what to expect where blown awayâ€¦. yes we enjoyed a spectacular show. After we went back to camp at BWB. Sitting by the fire with my new and old friends. Really enjoying my burn. Sharing a 12-year-old bottle of Suntory Japanese whisky.

When John walks up to the edge of the fire. I recognize him immediately shouting, â€œâ€

I had so many great moments.

Yes! Drinks with new friends by the fire was very special. We had so much fun! Definitely one of my favorite nights.

The Booby Bar on Sunday night rocked hard! Packed to the gills with lots of dancing and spirits. It was intense and thick with gyration and laughter.

Sunday nights afterburn whiteout will always be memorable. pm and I attempted to navigate 20 or so burners freezing in the dust storm. When we did meet other travelers they had no idea where we were either. Very stressful, but memorable moment.

I stopped at Kidsville and gave some NatGeo binoculars to the kids. They had such happy beautiful faces.

And so many more. I had an incredible burn and can't wait until next year to see the many beautiful faces of my friends.

Well after the total loss of my motorhome en route to the burn somewhere in Oregon, I'm happy to say I made it to BRC and back with zero problems in my truck/camper (a nice solid crew-cab dually that I knew I should have driven in the first place), and the Land Yacht performed flawlessly all week.

Mozy, I never did crack that bottle you gave me last year... I guess we'll drink it next year!

Sputnik, glad to see you again this year!

Tiahaar, loved riding your trike!

Capt. Badger, thanks for hanging at my camp, we needed at least ONE other male!

Unjonharley... I can't thank you enough for getting the fuck off my boat when you finally did...

I got back from the playa Mon at midnight and have been working 12 hr shifts since.
Off Sat to unload and clean and finally decom.

I just want everyone who worked their asses off putting on an olympic burn to know how much I appreciate them!

Col. Mongoose · Post by **Col. Mongoose** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 9:14 am

decompression is coming slowly. But it is indeed coming, and my articles along with those of my cohorts are slowly making their way to their respective places. Anybody else been waking up expecting a dust storm?

**saunters in and looks around**

Ah nice to see some familiar faces in here! Good to meet you **burn** and CC, and was very nice to run into so many folks from here. Thanks for the ride on the Land Yacht, Captain! Great to meet you and the First Mate, too! Been hard to get back into defaultia and I find myself glued to pics on Flickr when I'm online... amazing how much stuff I didn't manage to see when I was out there. Oh well. Carry on folks!

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 7:25 pm

Hey bigbluedoggy! It was nice to see/meet you at the Meet n Greet, alas, I didn't get a chance to Rock my Balls this year (I hold very dear to the memory of Flinging my destiny in 07', though

) In fact, I didn't discotechque (dance) hardly at all this year, but was consumed more with meandering and planned events. Being back in town has been different: slow process of eat/sleep to get body back up to par. So many ideas and desires, seems so little physical energy to use as a carriage...p a t i e n c e.

Hope all is well tonight. Having coffee before w h o r k.

pinemom · Post by **pinemom** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 7:05 am

Howdy ya'll....

yup, slow decompress...been out and about in defaultia and man, its harder this yr then last to get strangers to smile???
Been hard doing normal dusting and cleaning with me knee outa whack.
piss.
But slowly but surely it will all find its way back to its crypt till next yr.

I can hardly wait till decomp party in Reno this yr....need a boost of buddies!

Planning for my first born's wedding on Oct. 11th. I wish I had more magic to spread on it. I guess the guy she's marrying to me, isnt right...maybe thats the reason? If she insists she loves him, then she does. But I have to support her, even if its her mistake, she must scrape her own knee, feel the pain and learn from it.
Life is learning...the day you stop...is the day you STOP!

" I do! I do!" (Cc grabs a frosty mug...ahhh refresh) Thanks **burn**! Smoke---so many ideas, always, ALWAYS so little time. I think it's safe to say that I don't like my job anymore. Infact, the first day back I stood there for about 1 minute trying to remember what the "f" I actually do

(If you want to know what I do and how much of a contrast it is from the dust, P. Message me), and you'll know that week is a savior from becoming full blown mechanical. (CLARK sips coffee, takes a seat in the corner) I'll be around a bit (30 min.)...sooo

what's the good word tonight?
