Last week, without any real pomp, I brewed a couple beers for that thing in the desert. Turns out they were my 100th and 101st batches of homebrew. Yay! They’re both finished – or at least they’d better be, since I’m kegging them today. I had to use Wyeast 1056 (courtesy of DBC) for the […]

I can think of worse places to stop for a pint. The Man burns in 11 days. Yeah, well, let’s see how you do at 6800 ft. Name: Steamboat Date: Aug 17, 2010 9:08 am Map: View on Map Distance: 2.05 miles Elapsed Time: 19:24.8 Avg Speed: 6.3 mph Max Speed: 7.4 mph Avg Pace: 09′ 28″ per mile Min Altitude: 6,698 ft Max Altitude: 6,798 ft […] 1086 miles in, and already with the obscure references. See what I did there? It’s that time again. This year’s road trip is a humdinger too – hiking in Rocky Mountain, Zion, and Yosemite NPs, plus visits with friends, family, and fellow brewers. If you’re anywhere near the blue line, give me a call. The man burns in 26 days. View Burning Man 2010 […] Je vais voyager en Nouvelle-Orléans de ce soir à mercredi. Laissez les bons temps rouler! 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. 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 […] I hold in my hand two tickets to Burning Man. This will either be the best idea I’ve ever had, or the worst. Or both. |
