Fucking Dammit to hell!
Quest, who handled LNT for the Great Lakes Regional Burn, Lakes of Fire, took his life last night.
I am in disbelief. Numb. Angry. Sad.
He was in such a great mood this weekend, having a great time, working as hard as all the other team leads did to insure a great burn was had by all. He was geeked, happy, and a true pleasure to work with a be around.
Fuck this suicide shit! Please, watch out for our Burner Brothers and Sisters and if you feel they may be contemplating something like this, intervene. Please!
RIP Quest I hope you found your peace.

Fuck Sail Man, SilverOrange and all the other LoF leads who worked with Quest;
Just met Quest for the first time this weekend. He was really digging the event and giving all he had to make it come off so well.
Sometimes we can't see that for a few of us, Burning Man is all we have that makes sense. Going back to the default - I wonder if that was Quest's issue.
Hugs to you and the other leads. You guys worked wonders on that event and this is such a harsh wake up call.

Fuck! Thank you everybody for your kind words. We're still all numb about this. Nobody fucking saw this coming. Quest was a beautiful soul. This year, unlike in the past, the Temple will become a special place for me, if not the others from Detroit and Chicago who worked with, and burned with Quest.
And UD, Lakes of Fire will fucking survive this loss, but won't forget him. There is already talk of our own Temple Burn for '11.
Fuck Suicide.

GH is not hard to find.......he's fuckin hard to herd..........
I'm thinkin a stick, with c-4 and a fuse..........on a string, give him one match, and dangle said lure in front.
it' should lead him anywhere we want...........
but, when we get there, run the fuck away, you know he'll light it.

Reminds me of the malcolm episode where they rehabilitated Francis with a fuse to the Komodo 3000.
He says no and looks down.
He has already lit the fuse.
"Huh.
Interesting."
When it goes off and they can no longer see,
"Let's hope that was it."
"Did it say when our vision would come back?"

Forwarding from the Michigan list, for the benefit of those who met Quest at the big burn last year.
FUCK Suicide!!!
--------------------------------------
For those who are not on the Lakes of Fire mailing list and who may have known Ryan / "Quest" I need to share this. We are doing a photo memorial of him as well if you have pics of him and would like to contribute please send to: [email protected]
In these tough days, I'd like to remind each Michigan Burner that we are a community, we are here for each other, if you are struggling reach out. We love you. I'd also like to thank the community members who've come together to help support many of us who were close to Quest; your text messages, your caring, and your open arms have meant a great deal the last few days as always.

FORWARDED MESSAGE:
It is with beyond heavy hearts that G.L.E.A. Inc. must inform our Lakes of Fire family that 2010's Leave No Trace Team Lead, Ryan "Quest" Dunn, passed from this life on the morning of June 30th.
We send our deepest condolences to his wife Tiffany; his family and friends from Illinois and Southwest Michigan; and to the many Burners and non-Burners alike, from all over; who were touched by this eminently sincere, humble, and sweet soul, whom we called Quest.
Quest radiated a quiet intensity. He smiled often, worked incredibly hard, and was about the easiest to person to like you could ever meet. He was awed by life, and in turn he awed so many of us back. Whatever are the opposites of arrogant, or self-righteous; Quest was these things, to the extreme. His gracefully down-to-earth charm and sense of humor were a breath of fresh air, and he will be deeply, deeply missed.
When G.L.E.A. Inc. and Lakes of Fire first came to the Willow Ranch, Quest was among the employees connected to the land. Impressed by what he saw at Lakes of Fire 2009, he was convinced to visit Burning Man that year, and returned to Lakes of Fire 2010 as LNT Team Lead – a difficult and often thankless task that requires you to work lots of long hours when everyone else is leaving the place, exhausted. He performed the task with his typical grace and gusto, quietly and quickly making sure our footprint disappeared. Other event volunteers were amazed that the job was done so early – many of us left hours before we thought we would be able to.
Quest got it done, and he did so with a smile. He was a born collaborator.

Quest we love you.
Enjoy the light, as we so enjoyed yours.

Fuck Microsoft! I really mean it this time!
I have been using Hotmail since I began using computers. Now, when I use IE8, Hotmail gives me a very fucked up screen. It looks like it thinks I am using a mobile device.
Now I flew this by the Hotmail "help" center, and since it only happens when I use the Microsoft product, they FUCKING sent me to talk to the Internet Exploder people, since it only happens with IE8. Let's guess: They'll send me back to Hotmail because "it only happens with Hotmail".
Fuckers! Now I need to install Firefox on my work computer and get a gmail account so I can completely FUCK MICROSOFT!
That is all. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
