How to get in touch with my pregnant wife while at BM??

[momoipower]

Now that I think of it, I could bring my baby girl (How about Dusty Chance?) to BM next year for her birthday... nah forget it.

I babysit!

My shrink told me I needed a peer group.

On a serious note, there is Kidsville if you do bring the little one. Really a cool place for kids of all ages. Use the eplaya search function for details if interested. Its still Burning Man, but with a neat twist.

Children should not be exposed to art.

And now you can pick someone really good from the increasingly desperate tickets wanted forum

I'd recommend the girl from Black Rock City Animal Control. Those people are so awesome, and they are very entertaining! You'll love them when you meet them next year!

Arts a pedophile?

Three weeks before my first son was born my aunt Ethel died. This was back before you knew the sex before the birth. At Ethel's funeral the family kept telling me if it was a girl, I had to name her Ethel. At that point I started praying harder than I ever had that it was a boy. Trevor and I are both relieved he has a penis.

Since then I've learned I can tell my family no without anyone having to die.

Don't look, Ethel! (from the Streak)

My parents considered naming me for my grandmothers, in which case I would have been Beatrice Merle, or possible Elizabeth LaVon. I could live with Elizabeth LaVon, sounds like a silent screen movie star. But Beatrice Merle? I'd have been Aunt Bea to my nieces and nephews? Oh my.

Hey, there are worse names than Dusty Chance. I kinda like it. And there's a neat story to go with it. Works for any gender.

In the Jewish tradition, children are not named for people still alive. My brother and I were always grateful that our paternal grandparents went first. We wound up as Elizabeth and Nathan.

Had it been my mother's parents? Hilda and Barney.

If I had been a boy, Carl Philip Emmanual
2nd boy, John Sebestian
3rd, John Christian...

And the joke before I was born, in 1960s Texas, was that, wait, if I told htat joke, I'd have to admit what my last name is...

And we ended up all girls and they had to scramble for names.

Whatever you do, don't name the child "Namaste."
