still burning
last year i made a pledge to redouble my efforts to travel to black rock city this year for burning man.
i made it.
i returned home last thursday night, and the intervening days have been spent unloading a large truck, rinsing playa dust from my skin and hair and clothing and lungs, and alternately bubbling over with stories and collapsing from exhaustion.
i have new friends, a new job for a week out of the year, and a new town to call home. there is so much to say about black rock city and so little of it makes sense out of context, so for now i offer some photos to get things started. my own camera ran out of batteries early and i didn’t get many good shots, but burners are thankfully well represented within the flickr community, so i offer you a few of my favorites:
The Monkey Tree —
Life in a whiteout —
The Double Rainbow and the Temple of Forgiveness —
The Double Rainbow Entire —
The Eclipse —
The Big Rig Jig —
So chew on those a bit, and if you’re still hungry, head over to this description by Lucifer, my boss at the Golden Cafe.
i’ll say more soon and evermore, i am sure. in the meantime, stay happy, and i hope to see you next year in black rock city.
