Friday morning of Burning Man 2015 has us hustling and bustling around today as we head into the weekend and embrace the Weekend Warriors joining us. Our to do list for today (after work): Hoop Poi Watch more of the live feed. Make a BBQ pizza to share with my camp of 2. Make Shaun bust out… Continue reading Burning Man 2015 – Home Edition – Day 4
Day 3, captains log... I'm finding my coworkers to be strangely accepting of my costuming in our professional 1 on 1 meeting times. Sure there was a giggle at first, but you would be amazed at how serious one's meetings can get when discussing synergy in a blue fuzzy monster hat. Our party is slowly… Continue reading Burning Man 2015 – Home Edition – Day 3
IT'S MOTHERFUCKING BACON TIME! DOOOO DOOOOOOODOOOOO DOO DOODOOOOOO DOOOOOOO. No Burner day is complete without a healthy morning start of the heart-blocking goodness known as BACOOOOOOOON! ...and tiny hats. I have so many of them that it is starting to be a problem. Where do I put them all? Do I create a tiny hat… Continue reading Burning Man 2015 – Home Edition – Day 2 – BACON
Damn it. I had held it together up until this point. I looked at the calendar. Tuesday. I think that is a new record or something. I made it 3 days in before my first tears of Burning Man FOMO rolled down my cheeks. And all due to my friend who had it in her… Continue reading Burning Man 2015 – Home Edition
I can’t wait to see all your pictures from Burning Man! My Facebook feed was filled with glee and excitement from my readers and friends who were unable to make it home to the the playa this year. Well, my friends, I’m here to tell you that… well… I have no pictures. I have a… Continue reading Why I Don’t Have Pictures for Burning Man
Burning Man has officially taken over my mind and I'm constantly looking for Burning Man inspiration as a way to continue the "feels" off the playa. Welcome to my daily life over the past few months (not including the chaos and delight of the Texas Souk Project). Impromptu dance attacks. Poetry floating through my head. The realization… Continue reading Can’t Contain the Happiness – Burning Man Inspiration
I cannot remember the last time I was this busy. While my art show in Kansas City has wrapped up, I am also the Project Lead for a pretty big Burning Man Project. This year Larry Harvey wanted to bring the spirit of travel to the playa with his theme, Caravansary. Not only do you… Continue reading Disappearing into the Dust: We’re Coming Home to Burning Man
At Flipside last year I heard some of the most amazing advice in a really long time. And the main gist was - If you want to do something, own it. If you want to be an artist, say you're an artist and do art. I didn’t realize how profound this statement was until it… Continue reading Step 1: Say You’re an Artist – Kingsley the Jellyfish Afterthoughts
One night we were able to experience the playa by art car, brought to you by the Tiki Fkos camp, and I was overtaken by this sight of Burning Man at night. I can't accurately describe what it was like that night. The playa was clear and we had the pleasure of being without a… Continue reading Travel Photography – Burning Man at Night
I have a few Burning Man pictures lined up for the next few weeks since they just look so awesome. Yes, I was dumb enough to pull out my camera during a fill blown white out at Burning Man. These types of things can be fixed on my camera, right? *cough* (Let's not talk about that...)… Continue reading Travel Photography – Night White Out at Burning Man
There is nothing quite like the sight of an encroaching storm on the dry desert over Burning Man. In true Over Yonderlust fashion, it rained on us. While normally it can get annoying, there is nothing more magical than a desert storm. While this picture did make its debut in a previous Burning Man post,… Continue reading Burning Man Pics: Storm Encroaching the Playa
After we made our way down the Pacific Coast Highway via road trip, Shaun and I visited another friend for our last goodbye to Japanese noodles and basically booked it home. We did manage to write a few stats down about our road trip that we found to be particularly amusing. Total miles driven: 4857 Total… Continue reading Road Trip to Burning Man: In Numbers
The road trip from Burning Man to Reno to San Francisco is one of the most horrific experiences I have had driving so far. The morning started out with Shaun (who used to be a mechanic) helping a few people out with their cars. The harsh desert conditions appeared to have taken its toll on… Continue reading Road Trip: Reno to San Francisco
When we pulled up to Burning Man our first day, I didn't understood why, when arriving at the gate, the volunteers welcome every single car with a hearty, "WELCOME HOME!" and a hug (yes, they make you hug out the car window or GET OUT of the car!) until I was about to leave the… Continue reading The Man Burns: Burning Man Part 5
Reflecting back on my days at Burning Man, I can't help but stand in awe of how amazingly surreal (and real at the same time) it was and how my heart aches to be in that loving environment again. Burning Man changed my life. One of the things that is fascinating about the playa is… Continue reading Burning Man Changed My Life: Burning Man Part 4
