Today I went out in the rain, carrying a sign that read “YOUR GOD IS A LITTLE GOD”, to counter-protest the Westboro “Baptist” Church, who apparently drove here from Kansas because a local high school is doing a play […] This is a thoroughly inadequate attempt to convey some of what Burning Man is like. You really have to experience it for yourself, but the best summary I know of is this: Burning Man is fucking intense. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1 img { Pitstop in Hays, KS I think you’re supposed to play dead. Not too clear, but you get the idea. Me, um, driving, apparently Steering technique? A Yuri joint. Oops Magnificent Desolation The Salt Flats Reception seems unlikely. Timer FTW Pyramid Lake Yuri, getting excited Almost there! Waiting for entry Finally on the playa Most of the things you see will be juxtaposed against incredible natural beauty. Sizzle and her flamethrower 11:11 art car The Retro Rocket The utter lack of safety equipment is just awesome. Ranger Post Berlin The path to the Man Fallopian Moth Breakfast Wonderful nutrition overall Art car hijinks Giant robot spider! Properly licensed, of course So much penis Neat idea Center Camp Not really all that naked, by BM standards DFT enthusiasm Darwin Fish Tank (and Dave) Barbie Death Village What a sweet tattoo. Temple at sunset Temple at sunset Art cars are EVERYWHERE. The sun sets on the playa Kite farm I don’t actually know if this was burned, but I like to think so. Most fun I’ve ever had with my pants on Some art is pretty funny. TMA-3 I did NOT make it out far enough to see if they included Pluto. Putt-putt in the middle of nowhere Really sweet bike Sunset: time to head to Martini Village Skinny Kitty Yuri at the Skinny Kitty Porta-potty prize patrol The generator WAS running. Public transit Two men go into Thunderdome. One man comes out. Then a little later the second comes out. Terminal City Nothing like a dust storm to put you in the mood to hula. Not even as safe as it looks So dusty Dan and Dave Fire spinners The only thing there’s more of than spinning, is fire. I miss those crazy bastards. Thank you for providing a forum in which I can read things like: Please honor all living creatures because all life is sacred and we’re all connected to the to one life force which is conscious spiritual energy. Love is the way, kindness, respect, and always, zero cruelty. And thank you for providing so much […] This is actually my first bitter and was kind of a lark; I had no idea so many people would be bringing kegs to Burning Man. At any rate, it seems to have been a hit. It’s pretty great how the simplest recipes generally turn out the best. Black Rock Bitter recipe In case you couldn’t tell, I love grayscale. I love grayscale so much I want to have sex in grayscale, like in that A Ha video. I have the little window widgets in OS X set to grayscale. I hacked OS X so […] You guys! This mashup CD I got at Burning Man is most triumphant! (I assume since they were being handed out it’s OK to post it here. If not, someone please let me know nicely.) Bootie BRC 2009 1940 miles in two days; not too shabby… I’ll be on the playa for the week, so no updates for the next little bit. This is the coffee-making apparatus from the hotel room in St. Louis. Note the waste associated with brewing a single cup of coffee. I can understand the need for ensuring the hotel-room coffee-maker is clean, but I mean, this thing still has a water reservoir, so what’s the point? I guess I just feel like […] So going to crazy lengths to minimize their fuel costs is called “hypermiling”. According to Wikipedia “extreme hypermilers” will do things like coasting with the engine off and running red lights. I’m not suicidal, so to coin a term, I’d rather think of myself as a “supermiler”. I had one of the best days of […] I didn’t go up in distance this week, but at least I’m back below a 10:00 pace. Plus I actually looked at a calendar and realized this is week four, so there are still seven long runs to go. Unfortunately, next Sunday, and the 6th, I’ll be at Burning Man, so who knows what I’ll […] |
