So!
This is the playa? I've been waiting so long. But it's not Burning
Man yet. One week left — but I feel like it's already happening.
There are street signs and occupants, but something is missing:
I know absolutely everyone here, so there's no opportunity for "kindness
of strangers."
While
Ginger and I were setting up her tent, she recalled her arrival
in '99. She said she rolled into town about 8:30 and the guys in
the next camp offered to help her set up her tent before dark. I
must remember to be that kind stranger when others arrive.

Don't
take a space in Center Camp Ring unless you are prepared to sleep
through 24-7 construction — not just the machine racket, but
the aircraft landing lights aimed at my tent. Life in the big city!
