Burning Man Is Over

One more time. We did it again. Went to Burning Man and came back better than we left. Evolution 2009, , that was the theme Spent lots of energy, time and money to bring our gifts to the desert floor and give away our love for free! We know how to do it, we have done it before. Each time, however, we learn some new twists, get thrown some new curves. This year we were placed right down on the esplanade (the main drag). For those who got Sake Watering Hole love, you will never forget. For those who didn't. So sorry you missed it. We gave away over fifty gallons of Sake! It is a lot of work to give away good stuff. With a full blown desert party in effect!! Over 1000 watts of sound! Dj's spinning vinyl and digital beats galore!!! (that would be me and my friends from walla walla:) With Art Car superstars and the new, evolved, Nightjuice. She is an old school, art car, burning man veteran!! Our favorite art car experience is our own. Thanks to hard core campers from San Francisco! Love to you all!!

The Sake Experience is fronted by a wonderfully made tent from Morocco. Sweet interior space and design work on the outside. Out in front of our station we dug two clear plastic tubez (about eight inches in diameter) into the desert floor. Inside the plastic tubes we had coiled copper tubing, through which we pumped the sake from inside the tent. As the tubes were filled with water and dry ice, by the time the sake got to the top of the tubes it was ice cold! Turn the tap at the top and there we have it, a cold shot of Sake! In the desert, at over 100 degrees, our dance party was on! Wednesday and Friday afternoon our post was blown up by burners downing the love juice and dancing to the big beats rockin' the playa floor. With Night Juice plugged into the sound system we brought down the subsonic bass fo yo ass!! A true give away, with the full on party provided by the Sake Watering Hole. An evolution indeed. This project required all thirty plus members of our camp to bring it! Each with our own gift to the overall project. Socialism at its finest if you will....each according to his/her abilities and all that. We have some camp members with some serious abilities yo!

In my own personal experience of burning man 2009, evolution is what happened. Indeed. Assisted by a personal art project for the temple burn, each year a crew builds a huge replica of different temples architecture and then after a week of covering it with our griefs, sorrows and angers, it burns down! So incredible, after the chaos of the man burning the night before, to have so many thousands of people now completly silent, contemplating the sweep of the fire and their lives, blown into one existence. Past becomes past and present begins. I let you go Larissa, still tears I have, but you must go from my heart, it is time to make space for new growth.....Loved you I did and still, but on we must sail ever evolving to the timing of our beat, space eternal, placed within, always and forever, without.......within..........I love you all people!
So much, so much, so much......my heart fills with tears and love and it leaks out inside...for love is how I am made.
