The Bar, Volume #4

[littlebird]

Hey, y'all.

I'm having a serious case of post-playa blues. My bedroom is an absolute mess; there is dusty dirty crap all over the place and I can't seem to motivate myself to do any sort of cleaning. My cat sitter just came unannounced over to my place and reamed me out, accusing me of trying to duck out of paying her. I have not by any means been attempting to do that; I just haven't been attending to any sort of responsibilities over the past week because I'm so down. She refused to take a check and made me walk over to an ATM with her to take out cash. Welcome to the default world!

I met Trilo, Elliot, geospyder, and knowmad; it was such a joy to talk to all of them. I wish I had met more of you! I got very very drunk at my camp's prom party and didn't make it to the meet and greet.

I loved it there. It was a motherfucking blast. All of the wonderful people, art, lights, dancing, temple crying; it was beautiful. I'll definitely be back. Hope all of you are well and had as wonderful a time as I did.

[Elliot]

Happy birthday, Figjam! I met your camp flag when I was visiting with geospyder. I was all, "Hey, that's Figjam's flag! Is he here?" Alas, you were not. I came so close! Hope you're having a lovely bday.

Ooooo! And I got to meet Littlebird in person! You seemed so shy I didn't know what to say either. You are Good People, young lady!

Now.... Life seems to be returning to regular default world standards around here. Last night, my recent-immigrant neighbors across the street had friends over, with many children (and not much money). I wound up gifting them three bicycles -- after hurriedly fixing the bikes up to usable standard. These were bikes that were gifted to Elliot's Bike Service on Playa less than a week ago. The fixing took longer than normal, as I had one hand tied up eating yummy scratch-made Mexican food. Life can be OK in the Default World also!

PS -- after seeing Littlebird's latest post:
Littlebird, keep using The Bar #4 -- and PMs if you wish -- for Post Playa Support. We all need it.

This is normal. Maybe in a few weeks you should send the cat sitter a thank you and apology card. Honest, heartfelt, appreciative... And next year, pay her in advance!

Happy Birthday, FIGJAM

[littlebird]

That's good advice, Fishy. I will take it!

Elliot, thank you so much for the beer and for the use of your bike; I'm sorry someone decided to swipe it at the end of the week. I didn't realize I came across as shy! I think I'm just not used to talking to naked people outside of the bedroom. that's definitely something I'll need to get over if I plan on continuing to return to the playa, which I most certainly do. I truly enjoyed meeting you; you're such a nice man.

[Lonesomebri]

jeez...you ain't alone littlebird. Still looking at dirty coolers and the truck hasn't been washed. But Elliot might have the right idea, jumping into something else with passion; fixing bikes for the kids. Yeah, it ain't unusual. What a day out, maybe I'll drag the hose out... Beautiful day. What a day to have a birthday on. May the candles on your cake burn like cities in your wake, FIGJAM. Got the parts for a cooler this year but was too busy buying beer to ever put it together. Priorities. Next year! That's when I'm gonna get it all together and do it right. As for now, gonna grab a left over PBR and sponge. In a few weeks I'm thinkin' I'm gonna have to send all of you a thank you and apology card.

Great camp mates those two, FIGJAM and Tiny Mystic!

The Pleasure was all ours! I thought we had a great 'Not a F*&king Camp' Camp! Great team! So much fun, hope to do a sequel next burn!

[gyre]

Happy Figday!

If you want to visit Elliot's Naked Bicycle Service, yes.
Of course, I'm down to 185 pounds and beginning to look like a Greek God.
Definitely 175 with decent abs and better shoulder-muscles next year. Don't know what I can do about my aging butt, but at least I brought it somewhat pre-tanned, to avoid blinding people with chalk-white glare.

Well friend, You have only a few years before you look like a bag of door knobs like me..

[Aurelia]

Maybe I will just bag everything away for now

except the errant motorized trike of course

already looking for new ways to do it better..wait, this really was the best !

Sorry, I only saw the fine body of Marty briefly when he pulled the rabbit out and I missed seeing the rest of you
I always wonder how best to welcome the real shlong when it is only being shown

xoA.

[theCryptofishist]

DAMN IT

Don't worry, you've got several times the brains.

[theCryptofishist]

You're probably ahead on heart, too.

The turn of a door knob is an opening

*staggers in....*

Al...most....to....defaultia......few...more....miles......

(Miss all you....met so many awesome people! )

Love you, Mohairs. Love that Lunar Landing too.

Kenny's hollering hello from the other side of the room, with twiddly fingers and kissing noises.

That last mile is a fuck. Hope it rolls by smoothly.

...and after that, MUDSLIDES for ALL of us!!!!

MUDSLIDES! Oh hell yeah!
*blows kisses back*

[Mohairs]

I raise my glass to the legendary Scott, whom I didn't get to meet, and to Fishy, who keeps his legacy alive,
to my Ron, who never got to burn except one time (in the crematorium),

and on a very joyous note, I raise my glass to TinyMystic, who blew my mind with her enthusiasm,
to Delle and Kenny, who MADE MY BURN AWESOME,
to Andy, his sons and buddies, and Schtev, who camped with us and provided all sorts of amusement,
to Elliot, who loaned us such good bikes and is such a good friend,
to so many more, who helped this burn be so good....

CHEERS!!!

CHEERS!!!

It doesn't get better than that, Yggy.

[Martiansky]

To Scott!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FIGJAM!!

[Mohairs]

Hey, y'all.

I'm having a serious case of post-playa blues. My bedroom is an absolute mess; there is dusty dirty crap all over the place and I can't seem to motivate myself to do any sort of cleaning.

Me, too....
I'm sitting....just sitting....with piles of laundry and sorting to do....
*sigh*



On a happy note.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FIGJAM!!!!

[Martiansky]

***fills glasses with ice and adds mudslide mix to each, sets them on table*******

[Elorrum]

Yeah, I'm wasting time as well. Unloaded the car, and did essential laundry, but little else. Now I need my phone charger, so I have to dig a bit more. *I'm goin' in.*

[Martiansky]

*****notes time, wonders if she should send out search party for Ellorum who could be lost in a pile of stuff while looking for phone charger*****

[Mohairs]

Thanks

Ok, if we're going to be truthful about it all, my mudslide consists of 3 large icecubes in a medium sized glass with some baileys, chocolate milk and regular milk.

It was the best I could do with what I had in the house...

...but is still infinitely better than the watered-down vodka in watered-down orange juice in an even smaller glass with 3 overflowing icecubes that I cried into all yesterday.

Trying to recreate shit is NOT easy without the proper tools.

Next year I pocket a handful of those little Sands straws to complete the picture.

Hey, DELLE!!! (((DELLE)))(((KENNY)))
Whatever mixture you come up with will work fine I'm sure!

Yea, me too... Finally got around to emptying the van. My sister was surprised at the 'smell' of the playa dust. I told her, smells like 'home'!
Now, a bunch of laundry to do, and finish the van... tomorrow.

Delle, doesn't Vodka fix everything? haha! How's your little head?

Thnx for the mudslide Martiansky!
