361 Days To Burning Man 2006

Yes, folks - I'm back from Burning Man.

[]

And since I know that everybody is going to ask me the same damn inevitable "So - how was it?" question, I've given this some thought on the 8-hour ride back, and will try to describe it here as best as I can. (Although it has to be noted that everybody's experience at Burning Man is wildly unique, and it is virtually impossible to describe with words exactly what the event is like if you haven't been there yourself.)

So, ok.

Think of the wildest, craziest, sexiest party you've ever been to.
Then think of the biggest, loudest, maddest amusement park you've ever been to.
Multiply that by a thousand.
Add 24-hour techno music.
Take a hit of acid.
No, wait.
Make that two hits.
Vigoriously shake.
Serve on a windy-and-dusty-as-hell 100-degree platter.
Enjoy.

And guess what? I'm not exaggerating.

Needless to say, this site will be saturated with images and writings from the event over the next few weeks (as will my other blog over at emeraldbayphoto.com), so stay tuned. Or if you voted for Bush in the last election, you might wanna tune out right now.
