Burning Seinfeld
When you were at Center Camp, did you ever try the Big Salad?

Soup Nazi's
It's kind of amazing really, but we've got a Soup Nazi in our camp as well. It's uncanny really- It's sort of like that Seinfeld episode where Jerry's gang meets up with another group of people who are mirrors of themselves- every person has a counter-part. It's kind of like having a personal twin living on the same planet but in a dual universe somewhere. But in this case, your personal twin also hangs out with the personal twins of your friends at the same event that you are hanging out at, but in a dual universe.
Our camp's Soup Nazi **actually** brings soup to Burning Man! If in case you haven't noticed- on the playa, the air is really hot. It's like a desert! Why would anybody want hot soup in a hot arid desert? It doesn't make sense! Our Man's a menace! I'm telling you the truth, our Man's an actual sociopath- making you want his soup like that! By the time I've ridden my bike all the way out to Center Camp, I start thinking about that soup; And then I can't enjoy myself. So I have to ride all the way back across the playa through the heavy sand back to camp. What's all the worse is that our Soup Nazi won't tell us what time of day he's going to serve soup. Some days it's three o'clock but then he changes it to four o'clock and you wind up having to wait for an hour. But if you come the next day at four, there's no soup left because he changed it back to three o'clock again and now everyone else has had soup but you.

Yeah...you never really notice that you're hungry until your neighbors start sauteeing chick for fajitas...then you hear that familiar rumbling noise. Luckily, they were making fajitas for the whole damn neighborhood! God I love Burningman.

The Farthest Thing Out
Ever notice how there's that one art piece that is the farthest thing out from anything else on the playa? It's that piece that everyone else is talking about; But you never actually get to see it because you never actually are able to find it! You mean to find it; But you just never do.
What is all confusing is that every year, a lot of the things out on the playa are still under construction; Pieces are being built during the week that you haven't seen before. On your way to see the farthest thing out on the playa, you wind up seeing some thing that wasn't there before and you and your friends must go over there and check the thing out. It's obviously not finished yet, and you mean to come back and see it when it's done so you bike away. But by this time- you are all turned around! You've lost your bearing: You were headed to see the farthest thing out on the playa that everyone is talking about! Would that be that thing that is farthest from where you are at now? or farthest from where you started? It's just too hot to think!

An armoire!
I came across the very same credenza that you are talking about! I saw it too! A credenza, way out on the playa, in the middle of no-where! And it was filled with soup recipes like shreds of newspaper! I wonder if that artist wasn't a fan of Seinfeld? I mean, why else would someone drop a credenza onto the playa filled with faded sheets of paper with recipes of soup typed on them?robotland wrote:The weirdest moment for me was wandering the deep playa when, all of a sudden, I came across a credenza stuffed with soup recipes.......
Could this be a Seinfeld reference, here on the playa?! I think so! But as I do recall, that credenza was a little bit shorter than normal, but it was definitely stuffed with soup recipes! You know, in the actual Seinfeld episode, the Soup Nazi kept his recipes in an armoire. Don't you remember? A couple of street toughs strong-armed Kramer for the armoire that he was watching for Elaine. They took it right off the sidewalk! Kramer was helpless! Street toughs!! But since Kramer was friends with the Soup Nazi- Kramer understood how the Soup Nazi put everything he had into making his soup to perfection- the Soup Nazi offered Kramer the armoire in Soup Nazi's basement. Only, if the Soup Nazi had known that the armoire was intended for Elaine, the Soup Nazi would have smashed the armoire to little pieces!
In the Seinfeld episode, it was an armoire, not a credenza. The nerve of some people! If these art pieces on the playa are going to be about references to Seinfeld, they should at least get it right! It was an armoire!

Kramer
A friend of mine ran into Micheal Richards "Kramer" at The Burn in either 2000 or 2001, I don't recall which. He tried to get him to reverse time but he wouldn't do it

PSA: Hydration
Hey, I got a part in a Larry Harvey movie! Actually, it's just one line. And well, it's not exactly a movie, really; it's more like a short film- a PSA to be exact. A Public Service Announcement! Larry's shooting it here in the neighborhood; It's a film about how to keep properly hydrated while on the Playa.
What's my line? - "Boy, these pretzels are making me thirsty!"

SCARAB Camp had this contest.......Before the money could even blow off the hood of the truck, Camp Killer had already told us he was "out." The man has no self-discipline.....
