thursday, september 3rd.
- woke up.
- redefined sexiness.
- a c i d .
- walked out to the main plaza.
- got some coconut vegan ice cream which wasn’t so much ice cream as it was like, cold marshmallow, but it was tasty, or whatever.
- hopped on this art car… don’t even remember what it looked like, ahha.
- couldn’t stop cracking up for the first ten, fifteen minutes of being on the art car because the shit is just ridonkulous… basically people get on and dance around and then everyone who the car passes by dances around to the car… just kind of ridiculous in concept all around.
- saw awesome things on the art car but most awesome of all was this guy who looked like the most hippie hippie on the face of the earth and he was like missing teeth, had really long dirty hair, and was wearing no clothes. he was jumping up and down on a car with a HUGE smile on his face. it was … so… amazing. i so wish i had gotten a pic. one of my favorite moments of the trip.
- got dropped off by the art car on this one street because there were sock puppets being made. it seemed fun, but i vetoed the idea because we would have been there forever and the vibe was like soooo super quiet and housewifey. the particular street we got dropped off on was funny, too, because there was a sign saying one of the places was called “hushville,” and it really was soooo quiet. it was hilarious.
- wandered around aimlessly and found some stuff to paint on! i only did the pink sections.
- spoke with lady from funny face lemonade!!! they gave out lemonade and took pictures of people!
- tried to trip myself out.
- took a picture of this baby because jeanette was OBSESSED with it. still is, actually.
- got tripped out on this art wall where everything was moving around. awesome!
- initially saw this piece, which was one of the most trippy. all the colors bled into one another… breathed… moved… swirled.
- saw some fun patterns in the eyes of this boy.
- took a long way home.
- watched jeanette play basketball with a buncha miami boys and talked to this seventy year-old lady whose daughter had bought her burning man tickets for her birthday.
- stopped by the couchsurfing camp where no one was really that friendly except for this one girl and had really kinda weird awkward but interesting conversation with her.
- proceeded to head back.
- helped guy build tent.
- got stopped by chick who needed feminine products.
- waited as jeanette got obsessed with more kids.
- we were far from home, which was at 9:30 and chaos.
- jeanette was waking around to take some photos of the skyline when i saw these two people walk by me. when jeanette came back, those two people walked by also… to them, i said, “it’s you two again!” and because i talked to them, they offered us these two food tickets for a pre-paid vegan dinner! amazing! above: one of the food offerers, annie lalla, and i!
- crazy awesome posing!
- at dinner!! guy from montreal who used to live in seattle until eight months ago! i forgot his name! but i got his info!
- ate really awesome food! other than the fake meat, which was not so good here!
- post dinner, there was some interesting weird babbling that was kinda nonsense rhetoric about enacting change and “doing this everyday” whatever “this” was… “this” seemed to just be eating a nice dinner with a bunch of people who had paid three hundred bucks to be in a burning man camp that gave you food and all that.
- there was also post-dinner group “om” chanting, which was pretty rad.
- met random guy, jacob, on the way back, and he wasn’t headed in any particular direction, so he walked with us back to our camp. he had a cooler full of beer and red bull. he was an interesting chap who said he only came because it was his twin brother’s scene and his twin brother couldn’t make it, so he went in his place… but that he was a really conservative guy who was all for social liberties but not monetary liberties.
frolicked in awesome tinsel forest!
- watched jeanette get spun around in this boot that spins!
jacob got some random bunny ears and pawned them off on me!
- stopped by a cool place that offered crepes! sweet AND savory!
- jacob came back with us and chatted for a while with everyone and then jeanette started to shave off half his beard, hahaa, not particularly successfully, really.
- went dancing that evening and wanted to just sit and vegetate. did a little bit and saw some swirling fractals looming in the distance when i closed my eyes.
- got all excited about the awesome sand colors near this robot. there was some good music going on here, for sure!
- saw some of my favorite art cars — the above eyeball cars!
- also really enjoyed this time one.
- went elsewhere and met up with this mexican-norwegian drug dealer guy who gave us ebombs because jeanette had lost some.
- tried to catch some music set but were late for it!! blah!
- hung out at the place with mexican-norwegian guy and it was kinda funny but also kinda strange…………………. brain. cooooooool. trippy as hell really cause he looks like this super like chubby kinda thuggish dude but he’s like smart and funny and a good graffiti artist and fucking — most shocking one here — can JUGGLE pretty decently — like… can kick shit off his feet and behind his back and shit, and it’s just like WTF!!! anyway, he kept agreeing with shit jeanette was saying and she commented, “you’d be the perfect boyfriend,” and he escalated this soon to her being his wifee — which she was not particularly plussed with, but i found it amusing and was egging him on. haha!
- biked around and saw this photogartho thing which was hardcore WTF cause upon first glance, one thinks it says “photograph” or “photography,” but it says “photogartho” and wtf is photogartho?!!!!!
- came upon this awesome place that was ACTUALLY PLAYING DRUM N’ BASS!!!!! AMAZING!!!! and this guy from seattle — along with some friends — made this awesome like thermal touchscreen thing. played around with that fer a while. AWESOME.
