Burning Man Was So Great This Year


We got lost a few times and actually never really did see the signs for Black Rock City, but as you can see we finally made it and met some really great people! Maybe they were totally immersed in the 'Playa Experience' and that's why there wasn't really a lot of conversation (it was difficult to understand, but it seemed like everyone was chanting, 'trains, trains...'), but we just did our best to blend in and not seem like newbs. Of course one of the first people we met was one of the infamous and photo lovin' 'Playa Girls'.

Oh, I just love how those Burners really get into character!

Of course now there are more than a few 'lurkers'. I guess it's not really harming anyone as long as they're in costume and keep their hands to themselves- even if they are only there for the boobs.

Have to admit, this guy did creep us out a bit...

Here is one of our 'friends'. Very likeable guy, but it did seem that he had a bit of an issue with proper body distance when interfacing. We had to keep backing up and it seemed his catch-phrase was, 'Delicious!'

Another oldster getting into the spirit!

The kids were all so lively and cute, but I think a lot of them were under the influence because there was definitely a hypnotic vibe about them.

Pretty blue eye!

And last (but not least!) I'll leave you with another lovely Playa Girl. We had such a good time, but unfortunately had to leave before dusk since we were so behind schedule. I think next year we'll stay a bit longer and really get into the spirit! Good bye Burning Man!

  1. Have to admit, I just don't "get" the fun in zombies. But then my wife writes murder mysteries, and I don't get that, either. Entertainment?? :-) I'd rather have Fred and Ginger.

  2. There is an incredible short story that I will search my archives to find that just might change your mind...

    Anyway, it's pure silliness and since I helped them come into the world, I have a mother's eye and think they're gorgeous! (Comparing zombies to Fred and Ginger is like comparing apples and amoebas, zombies can't do anything but eat brains!)

    :)

  3. Ah- you were partly responsible for these guys? Costuming? I can understand the 'mother's eye', though you have to admit it's a bit of a stretch! I'll look forward to the short story.

  4. It's ALL a stretch! ;)

    It might take me a bit to find the link but I promise I won't forget!

  5. I got Burning Man tickets for Burning Man in 2017, and it's going to be my first... I sure hope I don't see any clowns like this when I go! Clowns are my biggest fear!
