Burning Man As Burning Does

I just woke up from a 3 hour nap after work and I am eating a grilled turkey and swiss sandwich. I had chocolate earlier and a pecan cinnamon muffin. I also had Memphis Blues ribs with friends on Commercial Drive for dinner last night. Ahh, the things you crave in the desert.

Been back from Burning Man for two days now. The population total this year was 47,700 people. I really felt the tourist yahoo factor on the last weekend. Garbage everywhere (especially by the dance camps on 2:00). Lots of creepy guys, people not participating, and bikes not lit up at night. There was a suicide and an arsonist burned the Man on Monday during the lunar eclipse.



I had a great burn. I camped with Kamp GFY near 3:30 and Desert. We got many thanks for not playing trance all weekend from many folks including DPW and the Rangers. Theme camps and citizens came by to gift us with ice cream bars, freezies, snow cones, and entertainment. Our agent missions were a blast.

We built a bike ramp on the street and heckled passer-byers. Visited many friends and danced most nights until 4 am.

My second home was the Lost Bar at 2:00 and Landfill. I participated in Free Hugs.



Some of my favourite art pieces were the Crude Awakening, two oil tanker trucks, Treehouse, this synchronized light piece, and the Temple.

Oh, there was this crazy gorilla and snake eating apple merry-go-round that created a motion picture when it was peddled (better in the evening). Went to Cereal Thrillers a few times for my journey down children's memory lane. Saw a camp that built a waterslide, took a kayaking lesson with James, and went to Costco Soulmate Trading Post to find my Soulmate.

Impressive dance camps this year. Of course there was Opulent Temple with mega-superstar DJs and fire cannons. But there was a gigantic dome with excellent breaks called Eschon Village. Moon Base was fantastic too with drum & bass and lasers you could see across the city. I also went to a beautiful wedding at the trash fence during the lunar eclipse.



There were two white-out dust storms two days in a row. The weather was generally warm with warm nights. Long drive home. Wished I stayed overnight in Reno or Oregon to break it up. We were rear-ended by a woman from Fort McMurray in the exit line out (exodus). The temple burn was magnificent.
