Re: The person below me
Every day is something new to try! By "this year" you refer to TTITD, there's a new spanking bench almost complete, new shade structure layout, new bar, new tents, new camp mates,,,

I don't think so young lady, wieners are delicious
Though I do prefer a good braut over a wiener.

Re: The person below me
It's true. The only (non-organic) hot dog I've eaten in the past 10 years was on-playa last year, from kind people camped north of me. Relish, onions, mustard, nice buns.
(Sunday afternoon was a perfect non-obvious time for serving hot dogs; one is often packing up, less likely to stop for food, but need to eat more than ever due to physical labor.)

Re: The person below me
No, not really. The GF loves glitter.
But she is not allowed to have it at home, cause once its on her, it ends up in the bed, then I end up at work half way through the day realizing I have glitter in my beard. She is allowed to have the glue sorta spread on stuff. Its a compromise.
TPBM hates glitter with a passion.

And, no, I'm not volunteering on playa as I will be in the virtual world of Camp Envy. NEXT year however, I will most definitely find some place to volunteer!

Okay, I'll tie up the disparate streams. (And mix in a few metaphors while I'm at it.)
No, no volunteering. My ESD Experience was...less that satisfying. and no, not deep sympathy. When I couldn't go last year...well, you can't say I took it in stride...but I did okay.
