I miss the dirt.
And talking on a bullhorn.
Ah, heck...
I just love the smell of effluvium in the morning...
It's the smell of VICTORY!

I got the BEST fucking job on the Playa!
I'll be in my blanket fort until further notice.

I miss my peeps! And the goofy grin I wear almost all the time on the playa. I'm never so happy as at the burn.

I miss the general atmosphere. I miss the feeling that I'm in a magical place for 10 days of every year. I miss being surrounded by people whom I trust a great deal more than a similar sample of people in the default world.

there is so much I miss, from spending $ instead of £, getting up every single day knowing just about every single person i meet that day i will want to meet. I miss being home.

I miss waking up in my tent, dazed and elated, pulled from sleep by the amazing possibilities of another day in BRC. 8)

Sipping coffee in filtered sunshine, knowing I have no idea what fantastic things I will find today. 8) 8)

Dancing in the dust. 8) 8) 8)

Hugging all you wonderful people. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

My first evening on the playa and I heard.......WHAT'S that noise?!
AAWWOOOOOO as the light faded........ :D
Can't wait to hear that again!
So the theme this year is like a giant camp out in the desert? With people bringing lots of shit from all over? uh.. -Marscrumbs

Besides the 70s?

I miss waking up to the sound of distant techno music through a dusty sunrise,
from my 1995 Ford F150 with a fire engine red camper shell.

I miss some of the more "biting" snark we used to have here........it was a little more "edgy".......friendly and all, but you sort of had to run a "gauntlet" at times.
I'm not good at snark, but some here are/were "Masters".
Always enjoyed watching them ply their trade, even when it was directed at me.

I miss the sensation of coolness when I step out of my warm tent in the morning. I miss the expectation of laughter, and amazement, from that moment.

I miss...

Walking around at night. Totally lost and loving it.

The feeling of 'no time constraints'.

Hugging a stranger and telling them, "Welcome home".

Riding my bike through the city admiring peoples ingenuity.

Riding out the windstorm with a smile under my facemask.

Riding my bike through the city after the storm to view spectacular failures.

I miss lacking cell reception.

I miss going dancing in the 4pm sunshine with a champagne buzz.

I miss waking up and having not the least idea what the day will hold.

I miss the drive on 447 from I-80. I have some special beats on my ipod that I play during this last pull before I get home.

I miss seeing the Burningman sign as I turn off 34 and enter the playa.

I miss parking the rv at our camp spot, flinging the door open, and seeing my "space" that is to be my home for 10 days.

I miss going out with the girl on the first night, getting to the esplanade, ang gazing out at our city.

Fuck it.

I miss everything....

I miss seeing the friends I only see once a year at burning man.

I miss waking up to the new day and making new friends.

I miss My blood pressure being low.

I miss getting a daily hug, no matter who thinks I deserve one.

Yes, I miss it all and I'm pretty much packed!

I miss how simple and fun it was going to cheap thrills and buying a ticket to the burn.

I miss the energy I bring to default after another burn

I miss the feeling of completing our build, and the first celebratory Bud Light that follows.

I miss seeing my monkey huts kick the wind's ass and keep on ticking.

I miss riding a cruiser to the porta pottie in my boxers.

I don't miss pounding rebar, which is why I'm going with Figgy's 14" lag screw idea this year. woot!

I guess I just miss my friend, Andy Dufresne.
