sevI'm not going to post a synopsis, or a trip report, or anything like that. I never do. Either you've been there & you can formulate a pretty good guess or you've never and I do not have the skill to paint you a verbal picture that does it any justice whatsoever. Photographs, as usual, will be forthcoming; until then, unless somebody asks specific questions I can formulate specific answers to, all I have to offer is an out-of-sequence jumble of moments...
actually rode the bicycle some this year gave out a whole tube of fifty glow-necklaces front-row seat at the burn "Are we all still together? One, two, three, four, wait, where am I?" gift economy alive and well in the fifth largest city in nevada "Cut it out or I'll call you a pet name right here in front of everybody" fingerprints on my wrist feeding people chocolate teaching him how to say please smoked too many cloves up nearly in time for sunrise nearly every morning well-fed over-hyper new friends old friends hope I caught that scary expression on film whaddya mean somebody in center camp wants me to send home the root password forty-foot long streak of little red shreds of spent firecrackers sometimes the best art is the simplest too much wind for my wings I can summon the dust storms by taking a shower let's keep walking I bet she's camped around here somewhere how many women with ocd tendencies do we have here anyway? are we really going to sit around here and drink all night? with that hat on you look just like my favorite D&D character look an innocent bystander! volley of what? at some point this will stop being funny I swear I wonder how long the sight of that belt will make my breath speed up the blue bicycle brigade is planning their galactic conquest actually that dome is in fact made of burnable material please what? no really these brownies are perfectly normal but if we don't eat them they're going to go bad I hope he finds another reason to run because I like watching his ass when he does what is that thing burning over there? yes I started yoga a half hour ago wearing fleece and now I'm wearing nothing but a scrap of pink fabric y'know, my propensity for pink is a lot more butch back home when I wear mostly black for the first time in years I really feel like a 'studly femme' again did he just say he was a federal marshal? as it turns out having a timepiece out there doesn't ruin it this observatory gives me the creepiest sense of deja vu I helped somebody do this at a party in santa cruz nearly ten years ago thank you for not heckling my drawing you only look like that when I'm in a hurry please make sure nobody runs me over while I lie here on the ground the things I do for my art maybe next year I really will bring a tripod I thought he said he'd never ranger again why is it I seem to be so kissable this week? let's put everybody else to bed and walk around the city as it assembles and trade stories thirty rolls of film and still so many missed shots my mom will be happy there's another photogapher around slept on the whole ride there slept on the whole ride back wet wipes may be the finest invention of the twentieth century...
...if life were only moments, then you'd never know you had one...
And now, I hop on the bus and drop off thirty rolls of film!
