Burningman Pics
ok ok. you all want pictures. here's the first batch, unedited. there's a whole story and lots more polaroids, but I have to scan those in. here goes.
 On our way out of town, we had the quintessential San Francisco Burning Man Departure Experience (tm). 18 errands, way later than expected, and Aaron's bike fell off of his car into the street. Here's us getting it fixed. All ended well, but it was humourous at the time.  I had a rough week getting physically acclimated, but on Saturday, we headed out for requisite photo gathering. Behold: one Aaron, one *cute* mobile astrologer!  There was a giant pendulum in center camp. This picture doesn't do it justice.  Imagine these blowing billowing clouds of fire into the air. yeah. hell yeah  This camp served to save us many times. In our first night's bike ride, we emerged from a few hours of sensory-deprivation- white-out to find it getting built, and my favorite San Francisco DJ spinning records in ways I'd never heard before. Amazing! Also, my favorite mobile astrologer is seen here, announcing the current astrological conditions. (moon in Taurus?).  Then, later in the week, when things were sort of iffy on burn night, we came upon the same place, to find elly's favorite San Francisco DJ spinning the roof off in some seriously tribal (and HOTT) ways! NOTE for SF DENIZENS: This Friday, 20040910, both of these guys are spinning with Freq Nasty in a voter-drive party all night long. You want to be there. Really. Trust me. http://www.an-ten-nae.net/. 
   One of my favorite installations was Jadu Beta, a large inflatable setup that we had the pleasure of previeewing at Volume in NYC (with Lorin!) a few months back. It was really impressive, and my pal Gavin helped set it up! I'm sad I didn't get to see him on the Playa. (of note to those that know me, Gavin bequeathed me the "horny cowboy hat" that you always see me in out there) 
 Another of the inflatable projects that I dug was Starmageddon. Nifty keen! 
 Two of the many art cars that have inspired me from year to year. I hope that next time I go to the desert, I go in service. I really want to go and give things to the newbies, and I hope it's through a fun art car project with elly!  Requisite Porta Potty shot  
 
 David Best's Temples really need no words.   Way out in Deep Space, past The Man, and past the Temple, is a tree.  And finally, with the tree was a meditation chamber that directly faced the sunrise. it was gorgeous and calming and great to sit in. Also, this is a self portrait. :) Items not photographed that I wish I had:
