I've been silent on the topic of burning man this year. I've had mixed feelings about going all year - since tickets went on sale - and I didn't buy one. There are many reasons I should go. I'll be camping with my uberfavorite camp - Gigsville - which I feel completely at home in. I coordinated the cowbell project, which will put the playa aclang of custom gigsville cowbells. Not to mention the personalized patches of beating a dead horse on fire (our favorite thing to do on the list).
In addition to Ubie, the uberman who stands as tall as the man, there's the trebuche being brought up by some friends at Umlaut Haus. Doc's Cheshire Cat will be out there, along with a new one. And there are some new art cars debuting in Gigsville this year. Plus I've lost track of the myriad of weddings happening out on the playa this year. How can I not go?
Well, for some reason, I'm just not feeling it. I want to see my friends, hang out with them, explore the playa, ride around in the art cars, hang out in camp, karaoke on the uberman and hand out hot pizzas from the Van-B-Que (and stoke it up real high). But, the magic sparkle in my eye for Burning Man is just not there this year.
So I'm going to take a breather. I know what will be happening miles away in a Nevada Desert in a couple weeks, but I'll be here in LA - or better yet, I'll be driving the Mojave Road.
