Burning Man (now with pics, including a dragon!)

[the Jester]

It's much, much closer to the time of the Man now. Thought I'd give this a bump.

It's worth the trip, lemme tell ya. It's the strangest thing I've ever experienced, and I have been there and done that.

Odd. I went to that site. What a disorganized mess. They need a better marketing person. I couldn't find - when it was, where it was. I assume NW Nevada somewhere.

My ex-husband is going. You can beat him up for me, if you'd like.

Kidding, sheesh.

It's in the Black Rock Desert near Gerlach, NV. It begins August 29th this year iirc.

Communication with the site is achieved mostly through mailing lists.

Some year I will make it. I know a number of people that go every year and love it.

Do people really bring children to Burning Man? I noticed that the site has a FAQ about kids at Burning Man. I've never been, but from what I've heard and the pictures I've seen, Burning Man just seems a little rambunctious in the adult kinda way for it to be a kid-friendly environment...

There are tons of kids there. People are highly respectful of children; yes, it's a sort of unlimited adult playground, but there are entire neighborhoods that are set up as 'kid zones.'

Funny story- my first year, as we were getting ready to leave, one of our neighbors, who was prolly about 7 years old came up to us and asked us if we had anything he could use to blow up his teddy bear with. It was so cute!

Another bump, as it is nearly time. In the silly hope somebody else from here (other than my homies omrob, seance and Angel of Fire) are goin'.

I aspire to meet you all eventually... !

Oooh... less than a week til I leave, boy am I excited!!!

Today is my day to get prepped- I bought a new bike to take out there, got my megaphone working, need to clean house- breakin' for lunch at present.

If anyone works in the Reno area at a supermarket, let yer ordering guys know: anticipate about 40,000 people wanting 15-30 gallons of water each to come through Reno in the next week and a half! With gas so expensive, people are waiting to buy it til they're in your area....
