I received my stainless steel Dusty Swan carabiner mug yesterday in the mail!
One of my intentions in returning to Black Rock City in 2011 is to actually visit an Irish Bar on the playa, and I’m proud to have been able to support The Dusty Swan in a small way by purchasing this awesome mug. I look forward to having it filled with a beverage of some sort and listening to a sesiun or two! Slainte!
I think that my criteria for what constitutes a burner has shifted to “Were you open enough, even just a crack, to let the experiences of the group, up to and including whatever event you attended, change you?

Recording the sights and sounds of the event is less important than living the experience firsthand.

I just backed this project on Kickstarter and offer it for your consideration.
A chair is a chair is a chair, but a furry chair is a throne! I spent the larger part of my weekend furring two camp chairs with remnant fur that I found at Goodwill a few months ago. One of the camp chairs I bought at Goodwill and actually stitched the orange and blue fur on that one, while I made an easy slip cover out of the light blue fur for my new/regular camping chair.
Our world, and our lives, are fragile; we\’re here for but a moment and bound in ways we can\’t even imagine to the people, spaces, and nature that surround us; and true beauty is marveling at the complex majesty of the human experience.
Why TED And Burning Man Are More Similar Than You Think
With tickets now in hand, it’s time to get making, doing, and planning for Burning Man 2011 – Rites of Passage. To that end, today I made 42 postcards from unique Creative Commons licensed photos I found on Flickr with cardstock and my color laser printer.
I will be using some of them for my own mailing purposes on playa, but I intend to give out the rest (pre-stamped) so that others might have the joy of mailing a note to themselves or loved ones from the best city on the planet.
Ticket order confirmed, and this year, it looks like @tarbendar may make it after all! Let the planning begin in earnest! We’re playa bound!
