:wave: Hola, this Aussie is no longer a virgin Burner :)... ive just returned from BurningMan in Nevada &  B.C Canada after 6 weeks of solid partying...turned out to be the best holiday of my life, in which i met so many cool Candians and Americans along the way...There is no doubt BM has changed my life foerever. Never before have i seen 40000 likeminded artists come together to create what can only be described as the greatest party on Earth. The sense of community & sharing there has made me look at life in such a different way & while critics of BM have described the mind-altering hapenings as a hedonistic playground of drugs & sex, I have been inspired more than ever to imagine & create :D & of course our theme camp was aptly named "Area-51 outpost" :alien:
Still suferring from reality bends its time now to reintergrate myself into Sydney lifestyle in which i count down the days till BM2007
I will now leave you a few BM terms that shall appear now & then in future journals :peace:

Burner: One who has attended Burning Man & takes the spirit of the event back to the default world.
Playa foot: A common malady where ones feet become dry & cracked after exposure to the highly alkaline desert floor
Reality bends: Cramps felt in the mind and spirit after returning to the "real" world

I hope to go to Burning Man whenever possible...For a few years now it's been something I've wanted to do. I watched a documentary about it, it was awesome seeing some of the inside perspective, I definately send my heart out to all the people who make it happen.

But yeah I need to go some day, I'd do well to find a camp to join on for my first burn, at least then I have "safety" in numbers, and experience around me.

I'm glad it was nothing and everything it was supposed to be ^_^ hehe
