Back from Burning Man

Me standing in front of the Temple of Starts at Burning Man 2004 Kat (Aub in the default world) and I got back from Burning Man yesterday night. We bailed a day early because Kat was not feeling well and done with the whole event. It was quite a stretch to get her to come in the first place, but she made it through most of it.

I had a better time this year than last year. Maybe it was because Kat was with me, or because I drank less, or that the weather was better. But, it was a good year and quite an adventure. We had three injuries in our group (none of them serious and not Kat or me). We had a propane tank "explode" when JR forgot to set the lift gate on our truck correctly, it fell 5 feet and the regulator broke off. Most of this happened early in the week, so we had a relatively uneventful second half.

The burn night was fun, but also relatively uneventful. Anyways, I have put the photos we took on the web, so check them out here.

I couldn't post any more on the web while I was there because it was s00per flaky. I guess that is what you get for being out in the middle of nowhere in the most desolate part of North America.

Back to work tomorrow :(

It's hard to be back in the Default World, even if the festival was exhausting. The picture Tom put here is one of the Temple of Stars. In my opinion, this was the most beautiful structure on the playa. If I had more energy, I would have stayed to watch it burn. Maybe another year. Thanks for 'encouraging' me to stretch, hon. ~ Kat
