It has been brought to my attention that there is this little festival coming up in 5-6 weeks called burning man. I hear it is this big old freak fest in the desert. And you are supposed to do art projects and participate and stuff.

Yeah. I’ve done nothing or very little yet to prepare.

I considered the Papa Chango Axe Throwing Range. I’m still considering it. But to be honest, a thrown axe is a pretty erratic projectile. It would be very dangerous. I know, you say, that’s part of the fun, but… It might mess up someone’s camp. And I don’t want to be the guy who has to tell people “you can’t camp here… this is in the axe flight path.” and then, have them camp there anyway and get all upset when I fling an axe into their playa booty-call. Besides, Baz and were tossing the ol’ axe around at Orange Kamp, and I split the handle. I gotta get that handled.

I think I am going to volunteer again at the box office. I gotta get in contact with Buck about building the Box with him this year. I think that wold be pretty sweet.

To be honest, I keep having this feeling like something is going to come up before Burning Man that is going to send me on this crazy adventure to some other far off land. It’s just a feeling. And I really want to be going this year! I want to dust off my old Eric America costume and head out on the playa.

The theme really excites me. The group I am camping with are awesome. I have no excuse. I should be in full on Burn Prep mode. I’m not. I think it’s some kind of burner guilt I am experiencing right now…

Well, I may as well put it off another night. Maybe I just need to start sitting down with campmates…
