What is Burning Man?

[archerships]

Imagine the wildest, largest rave you’ve ever seen.

Now mix in 4th of July, Halloween, and New Year’s Eve.

Add a healthy dash of Mardi Gras and Maker Faire.

Multiply by 5.

Powder everything with dust via 35 mph winds.

Bake in 100 degree heat for 5 days.

That’s Burning Man.

Sam, me, and Caroline

Note: some of the photos below the cut are NSFW. Some might argue that the sight of me in nothing but red glitter and fabulous pants is also NSFW, but I don’t care.

Steve toasts a marshmallow, the T-rex way.

Behold the power of the T-rex!

J. “Come with me to the costume shop! Also, you must get completely naked. Right in the middle of camp.” Thanks, J.!

Too sexy for my shirt, on the catwalk, yeah!

Man camel

Robin sez: “So do all your holidays involve huge things on fire?” [Most! Naked women feature prominently too.]

And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire. The ring of fire.

Adele braves Saturday’s sandstorm for art’s sake.

It begins!

Bunnies love fireworks

The man falls

I WANT A PICTURE OF YOUR TENT

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Privileged information!

[cryo.livejournal.com]

that.was.fucking.awesome.

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Did you go?

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Yep. Now, if only we could do something about the sandstorms.

I love that Camel costume!

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Me too! It was the best costume there, IMO. They moved just like a camel too.

I'm so glad we got to hang out a bit. :) It was a pleasure.

[crasch.livejournal.com]

I'm delighted I got to hang out with you too!

[smjayman.livejournal.com]

You've lost some weight, near as I can tell. Looks like a good time!

[crasch.livejournal.com]

I did! I'm down 18 lbs from the beginning of the year.

[ladykalana.livejournal.com]

Wow. I think I do want to try it someday... but I might need a LOT of pot to get through it. That level of insanity and wildness appears to be far beyond what I feel I could tolerate safely. I'm glad you got to go and didn't die of heat stroke in the desert :)

but I might need a LOT of pot to get through it.

That can be arranged. :>

That level of insanity and wildness appears to be far beyond what I feel I could tolerate safely.

I felt pretty safe. Your biggest risks are disease and stepping on tent lines/exposed rebar, in my opinion.

MORE RED GLITTER CRASCH PICS!

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Body paint!

[radiantsun.livejournal.com]

PS what else could we be working on?

[crasch.livejournal.com]

D'oh!

[joblessmusician.livejournal.com]

Fire + Naked People = Awesome! So, it hasn't gotten all commercialized yet, has it? No Starbuckses and Home Depots opening in the middle?

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Not yet. No advertising, and the only thing you can buy is coffee and ice (from Burning Man).

[ch.livejournal.com]

Sam is a hottie.

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Agreed!

Red glitter and fabulous pants is a surprisingly good look for you.

Thanks!
