So
damn close to opening.
Themecamps are driving onto site in droves. You would never
guess that we don't open until sunrise on Monday.

I woke at 6 am to find that Starboy had just arrived… |
…to install the SPINNIN'
ANEMONE
CAROUSEL |
The "Burma Shave" signs are up. |
 With
Ladies Night happening at the Komisary, I decided to dress in drag
– well something cross-gendered compared to my usual party garb. |

Trip
Leaving dinner, I ran into two easy arguments. I almost escaped.
The first was when I caught a lit cigarette butt in my fingers and
handed it back to the owner. He protested, "Oh, but I took
out the cotton part and now it's totally degradable." Tell
it to the BLM.
The
second was immediately after that. I ran into a bliss-bunny (Rainbow
Family term for "kids" who turn up to an event, empty-handed,
so everyone else can feed them). He said he hates shamans because
they always try to teach him something. He arrived without water
or anything to sleep in. How did he get in without a ticket? I decided
to adopt him and make sure he found some way to eat, legitimately.
It's
a blue fire engine! Jump on board! So we climbed on and took the
tour around Center Camp. I had to mention that of all the fire trucks
I've ridden this month, this was most elegant.

Nuwandart. Some sort of camp.

This is Snook's flaming Truck, in case you haven't seen it already. |
|
At
the end of this tour, we ended up at Death Guild and endured some
verbal abuse delivered via megaphone by Indigo. From there, Bliss-Bunny
and I walked out onto the art playa.
I
got to meet Michael Christian as he worked on Flock. The piece is
composed of several portions of arterial legs, which he keeps adding
to the bottom of the piece as it is raised by the crane.

Placing Flock,
which looks surprisingly like the original concept
Found a bliss-bunny.
|
They worked all night, building from the top down. |
| After
a few nice pics, we got a ride with Phix back to the Komisary, in
time to get in on the festivities. Chicks only! (or at least dudes
in drag) |
It's Ladies Night at the Komisary, so some adjustments must be made.
|
Joel survived the transformation.

I
tried to baby-sit the Bliss-Bunny and keep him from begging for
pot as long as I could. But eventually, he had to go find the guy
that invited him [name withheld by request] and get his stuff. I
pointed him in the direction of Lamplighters like he asked.
I
don't think he made it because in the morning, I heard from Marcia
that he woke up in her tent. She sleeps with earplugs — boy
was she surprised.
