At Burning Man Nothing is Sacred. Oh, really?

[wh..sh]

i loudly told them to go fuck themselves and then proceeded to go on a Rant right outside the temple "grounds" about how fucking pretentious the whole scene was.

Someone had to do it, Simon... someone! *shakes fist in the air*

Next year, let's get a couple dozen bullhorns and rant simultaniously outside. maybe even in shifts...

im an asshole that way.

Yeah, in a giant structure designed to burn, crammed with paper, it's really a dick move to ask you to step outside to smoke. And those pricks up on their high horses, weeping about the kids and parents and loves they've lost and the mistakes they've made and the things they were never able to say when they had the chance -- good thing you were around to knock 'em down a peg or two!

bitch, please.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

DUDE!


how can you look at the 24" x 36" full color picture of fluffy the cat and not bawl your eyes out like a Girl Baby?

[H.G.Crosby]

asshole.


fluffy was much more than just a cat to me.

[Timezone LaFontaine]

Please don't bring up the cat poster. That thing's eyes were following me all over the place in there.

I don't know fishy, I was too afraid to even smile when I was in the temple. You know it's weird when you have to elbow your husband to get his attention while keeping an eye on the crowd and "whisper" to each other. I wasn't sure which one of the over-emotional-crying-chanting-having-a-moment person was going to kill me.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

did anyone else see the small but highly detailed tribute to richard gere's gerbil?



priceless.

[Timezone LaFontaine]

bitch, please.

Open up the whole sock drawer why don't ya! From the guy whose camp left an RV on the playa.

Which remind me, next year I gotta leave a memorial to my rv.
I'll need one of those music chips to play "Winnebago Warrior" over and over over a tinny speaker.

[Simon of the Playa]

ok, here's the funny part...kind of...

i know who that belongs to.

it was nick-named the DeathStar™ many years ago.

the irony is not lost on me.

Sitting at night on the temple grounds early in the week, we had a hobbit or something come over and tell us not to smoke. he tried to play cool by telling us that cops had been thru earlier so be careful with what is being smoked. I thought, no dude, you're the cop. That's exactly how I want to honor my fallen homies; playing by the rules and worriedly watching my back. And I didn't want to cause any trouble at the temple, so of course I was sitting down. Meanwhile, in the sacred space, the sound of ohming and chanting, the hippies' Freebird, filled the air without complaint. Later, at the burn, I was kinda glad about the solemness of the occasion, seeing as how we had run out of beers to give away.

Ps. love the hobbit and all, would not change a thing, and I can't.

Basically the temple guardians are trained to ask people not to set the temple on fire (not just from smoking but also from sticking lit incense into the walls, etc) and not climb on breakable parts of the temple. Rather than seethe inwardly about it or start yelling at everybody for pretentiously mourning, if it's really that important to you you could just man up and light a second cigarette right then and there while balefully glaring at the temple guardian. That's going to illuminate the difference between them and actual cops.

A very large part of my mourning process involves inward seething. My morning process is much the same.

[Timezone LaFontaine]

Now that you mention it, so is mine.

Truth be told, I had a smoke on my temple guardian shift, but I did it in the courtyard.

Sandman,

Look in the mirror, there's your dad, he's in there. Where do you think your opinions and judgments come from? Yeah, for better or worse, he is definitely in there and he knows. Burning Man needs you to keep coming, young burners need a good example.
