I don't know. It wouldn't have been the first time a party got out of my control.

f#$%*ing AWESOME pictures. Especially the ones towards the bottom with the longer exposure. My next party simply MUST have fire.

Since this is an unlocked post, do you mind if I point a few people to it?

shadowcaptain May 22 2006, 17:11:30 UTC

not at all. (it's actually unlocked in the first place so that silver raven herself can get to it :)

wild. we've got to talk about how you got these. the camera part, not the "well, I got this phone call...." part.

Our pal Scott has been doing a good amount of related photography. I don't know if you know him (Sunspiral on LJ) but vvalkyri seems to. :)

I'm guessing by your comments at top tha I should bid you a great and entertaining Burning Man?
Bon Voyage!

sunspiral's already friended, and his poi pics are one of the reasons i jumped for the tripod when i saw the spinning begin.

black rock city would probably turn someone of my current condition and complexion into something resembling one of the bad guys at the end of an indiana jones movie, and there's no reason to presume that i can magically transmogrify cheescake into beefcake in three months. and financially, i'm likelier to be able to afford the subscription to the monkeys-flying-out-of-my-butt channel. but goals have funny ways of mobilizing resources; impossible goals, even more so. we'll see.

Fear not the desert--I found it remarkably friendly. The playa dust adheres to your sunscreen creating an extra spf effect. Drink lots and lots of water, wear shoes or boots all the time, brush yr teeth and it is all good. However you must must must find a bicycle and lights. You don't need as much food as you think, you will sleep in the day time, and stay up all night--thereby increasing the spf effect. From a member of the BRC Fire and Emergency Service Department.

I hope it all works fabulously for you.
We know many "regular" attendees. :)
