welcome back to reality

i'll get some pics up soon. one of the most interesting events i've been to. very much without agenda. i needed it...was feeling low.

its not a cheap trip to make - but it is as or more amazing than i had imagined.

40,000 people in the middle of the Nevada salt flats. A visual spectacle that rivals Las Vegas and Times Square. Barely a piece of trash in sight...a napkin looks bizzarely out of place...and no trash cans at all. Ravers, hippies, frat boys, musicians, construction workers, fisherman from Alaska, old school intellectuals, Larry Hagman (no shit), congressmen and women.

Nothing is sold except for coffee in the morning...everything else is given as a gift. banana pancakes, beer, CD's, shirts.

this is no hippie-dippie commune. it is modern, electrified, bizarre...full of oxymorons. it never felt weird or forced or dangerous, which was suprising to this eternal skeptic.

Wow Ze, women too????

A good friend went last year and had an enormous time - said most folks were naked, painted and grinning!

sniffles.

always make plans for it. and they always fall through.

glad someone went.

eta- next time you are in Sea. in the spring/summer, head to gasworks park. you will almost always find people practicing their routines, pre-building, etc.

And tell me again exactly what's wrong with hippie-dippie communes?

****

In other news, I'm seriously jealous. In college I majored in art, and going to Burning Man was every student's dream.

Unfortunately, that's quite a long drive from Oklahoma, and flying in is too difficult, what with all the equipment you need.

Someday.

True to her nickname till the last,
she keeled over before everyone's horrified eyes
right at the edge of "Burning Man."

It was her last wish to be immolated upon a colorful funeral pyre surrounded by naked, drumming dancing men painted as characters from Picasso's erotic paintings at said festival, but unfortunately she passed way too soon to see her dream realized.

"Preparations are now underway to feature the cremation of her body at the next Burning Man, and a low-cost meat locker is being sought to store her carcass on a long-term basis, at least to keep her from getting smellier and , er, rayzin-ier," her bereaved (sic) cyber-husband, JesusTitties said in a statement, barely managing to hold back tears. "She would have loved it," he added.

Fans of Smellyrayzin are many, however, and it is predicted that few will tolerate her cyber-death. In fact, rumor has it that she will be ressurrecting herself soon in another thread, TBA.
