Ticket ordered. I feel like there was this great big button of Doing All Manner of Stuff and I hit it, thus opening the floodgates for a whole mess of experience. Oh, it'll be a fabulous fun time, but I wouldn't say I'm not afraid.

Re 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. Something more substantive soon, I promise.

Re 2: Not sure. My family is all going camping with some relatives (yeah, I know, weird...) in July, so that's when I'll see them. I might not be back to Oregon for a while.

Burning Man is so awesome!
I'm SO SO excited for you!
This is year #5 in a row for me.
I intend to go every year until it burns me out from the inside.

I've been going to the Texas Regional Burn (www.burningflipside.com) for several years now, and it is time for the big league. I've got a camp, but I'd love to see you there and hang out with the geeks. Whoall do you figure I might know?

Not going this year, or next year, either. :(

Going to Thailand this year.
Next year, either fat with Evil Genius Baby or recovering from the intrusion of said Evil Genius Baby into this plane of existence. I think I can only get away with one life-altering science experiment a year. ;)

Advice:
Have fun. Don't pack too much food. Join a theme camp. Bring a bike. Wear sunscreen in unconventional places. Bring warm clothing and warm bedding. If there's a dust-storm, go play push-hands with it. Don't smoke weed where the cops can see you. Drink water.

Go use all the colors in the Burning Man coloring box and have a good time, dear.
