Burning Man Festival

khan no worries I'm having a ball getting lost round san fran

can't wait to see you all next week

NYC: you're fat.

It's spelled 'Phat'.

And if you're well hung, phat, and really proud of it I guess you can open a grocerey store.

fat = u.

You are von bloaten cat.

Fire conclave is in center camp at the 11:00 position (next to first camp and close to the culdron). It'll be much bigger with more room to hang out and discuss fire. Come by and say hi, I can't wait to meet everyone. I'll be the scrawny pale kid wearing mostly Orange (doesn't narrow it down much does it) I'm leaving tomorrow early AM see yall on the palya.

I believe the word is "slack."

Dude, the cat wasn't the insult, the insult was suggesting that you drank bud-light. sheesh.

Cody: I was with Fire Conclave in 2002! Have a spin on me, I wish I could be there!

First time at Burningman only a couple of days left!!!!!
Excited!!!
You better be there meg. :P ..missed you in scotland earlier on in the year cause of my silly car-crash. >_<

Can't wait!

Yay!

Made it out of the desert alive. Only 9 days this time though as opposed to the 10 I did last year. More than enough IMO. I was kinda ready to be out by the time the man burned. Was great to see all my friends again though... And Im glad I got to hang with MCP a bit.

Until next time...

Oh yay! The kids got to play together after all.

I'm back alive and I hope everyones exodus was safe. I finally got to meet many of you, it's great to finally put a face to a name. Still workin on that butterfly weave and flowers, thanks for the help Mtbeer, and thanks for the kangaroo Dexta.

Check out the New York Times slide show. It made me nostalgic already.

Cody, I kept bumping into your brother looking for you. Bah.. oh well.

Playa time, and stuff happened, meaning Mand and I didn't make the HoP meetup.

NYC, we totally intended to come find you in GnomeCamp, but, again, playa time happened. I'll hold on to that hug for some time in the future.

We did run into Lightning, which was a totally random event.

The spinning that we saw was amazing. Spinning in the conclave was...amazing, and words don't do it justice.

Phoo on being back at work, though.

Thanks for that link NYC, the fire performer with the flaming mohawk is Pyromancer form the Netherlands. He camped with me, cool guy.

I think I want to work less next year so I can spend more time with everyone. I always feel I need vacation from my vacation.

Sorry I never got to teach you flowers Cody. Our meeting was brief indeed... But at least I caught you this time.

Yah that's playa time at it's best. I'm glad your feeling better.

More Required Viewing.

Everything was awesome. Burning man is amazing. There are no words to describe it. There are words to describe people thou, like NYC = amazingly unaffected by destructive dust. And mikey ICON = babyface uber quiet person totally unlike online personality.

Burning Man!

I actually think 'unaffected' is a pretty good way to describe me in general. At least in real life. Yeah, I was suprisingly comfortable in the heat and dust. Kinda funny watching you Brits flail around and gasp for air. Reminds me of me in winter in Scotland.

And ICoN was even more quiet than usual and probably even more so later on in the week.

I'm really glad that you got to make it out MCP. There are so many times that I want to drag people across the Atlantic and be like "SEEE?!"

Our next goal is to get ICoN to an EJC. So I can be like "SEEE?!"

how was it for molly? The weird simularities and complete differences to beltane made it all the weirder for me.

I think the pyronauts conclave is a lot different to the other conclaves. I think they would have more energy involved.

Molly stayed at home on the sofa - she's still sulking

I had a great time though - I didn't see much beltaniness, except for the kickarse stick drumming and the lamplighters ritual. I loved that bit.

Someone had told me that there was an ex-beltane white warrior woman who wore her costume at BM but I didn't see her.

What did you find similar meg?

I think beltane should have art cars. And EJC. Art cars rock!

And I only gave myself sunstroke once NYC, and it was only of the mild woozy sort, and only cos we walked to the cathedral for the wedding, and I barely flailed at all...

...so


On a separate note there should be more handpuppets at BM. Cab the Squirrel had the time of his little furry life, took up raving, now has a glowstick fetish and got high on half a cashew nut.

crimson lighting the fire at the start of the week that went on to burn the man.

Circling around the man. The energy expelled in the conclave, performers getting front row seats... The organisers being in control of the conclave but not exactly. lots of people not having a very good view. Having two big burning things (thou over seperate days) that mirror the two big bonfire there should be at beltane. I guess it's quite a bit like firepoint but not so much like beltane...

I'd forgotten about the first fire being lit from the sun. I really liked that and lit my poi from the torches but the rest of my conclave group were cynical New Yorkers with lighters

I was never in firepoint anyway.

Oi! I lit from the torch.

And how often is it that firespinners actually have lighters?
