back from burning man. had to leave early b/c the wife got sick badly. amazing event, even for someone who neither drinks nor does drugs. had a ton of fun, some dancing, lots of time in heavy equipment during buildup, several trips into the deep playa interacting with art pieces or just enjoying solitude. made 700 sandwiches which we gave away to people. got coffee and breakfast for free. the giving economy is a fun experiment in this affluent bubble. only few pictures were taken. would probably go again, but boy is that expensive all things considered!

the wife recovered, and so did i, we are both back on track with a mild sneezing and coughing here and there during the day. thanks for all the wishes, fellow station folks! 路 2 months ago
@martin i can recommend at least going once to get a feel for the vibe. i most liked the art and the music, i think, but dislike the drinking and drug taking. the drinking happens pretty open, but most people seemed to have it under control. the drug taking i only heard of but haven't seen it myself, although i could tell some some people for sure were not clear minded at times. 路 2 months ago
@whixr i was mostly concerned with our own camp's build and setup. we had potable water, gray and black water catchment, showers, generators for electricity and a full kitchen serving 150 people daily. no mutant vehicle, unfortunately. 路 2 months ago

Not a good environment within which to be ill. I hope she's on the mend!
