Bon Voyage, Man.
The Burning Man, that is... The day has finally come. The converted school bus is filling up with camp stoves and water jugs, hoola hoops and bicycles, scarves, sarongs, florescent spray paint, and lots and lots of food. We'll hit the road and four hours later be joining thousands of others on the flat, dry expanse that is the Black Rock Desert. For ten days will our hair be dusted like powdered sugar then cleaned by the passing water truck. For ten days will we live together in a community of thousands that feels like a family, our souls alive and our minds engaged like never before. Burning Man comes around once a year, just often enough to get you through the year clearly remembering why it is so great to be alive. I can't tell you what Burning Man is. It just is. You see it with your eyes, feel it with your heart-- with your entire being. I'm ready. We'll be back in ten days.
