The woman with the white trash bag was collecting MOOP when I got her to take a brief break in my shade.

I think blue skirt was the person who said "the Zuni make fetishes." We were talking about spiritual politics at the time.

    

That orange bottle came up to the playa after spending many years in my freezer as a block of ice. I had read someplace that if you replace a lot of the air in your freezer with ice, it makes the thing more efficient. In the mad rush to pack at the last minute, we had needed 40 extra gallons of water, so I had brought it along as part of that. We got quite a few laughs about the fact it was water from the last millennium. This guy had suggested I sell it on eBay. Unfortunately that idea got scrubbed because Cheryl used it to clean the worst of the playa dust off of the car we drove up in just before we left. She also wanted to recycle the bottle.




This frog was hanging out in the Clan Dyken camp. I made a point of dropping by there, having been a fan since the beginning of 1992.



Unfortunately, after I took this picture my camera stopped working. I did the rest of Burning Man without it, which probably made the experience easier to enjoy for some of the people with nothing on.

I had a great time. One time I met a woman from Palo Alto that was wearing a white lab coat and a string of sharpies on a necklace. She wanted people to add art to the coat. I put "small change" over her heart, with some decorative lines. Another time I stopped by the Playa Book of Records, and put myself down for "most repetitions of a one minute speech". They asked me how many times I had done it, and after we did the math it worked out to 5,500 times over six years at Burning Man. I'm wishing it didn't have to end so soon.




My camera started working soon after I got it home. I just had to mutter, blow on the shoot button, and glare at it a bit.
