Throwing it out to the Mastoverse: Are there any #BurningMan friends out there who happen to have a photo of Michael Garlington's "Chapel of Babel" from last year, specifically the side with the portrait of Willem Dafoe? crossing fingers
A fire installation at unSCruz, the Burning Man regional event for Santa Cruz. It’s a shallow metal bowl plumbed for propane and suspended upside down 8 feet in the air. The flame is starved for oxygen and blooms and spreads when fresh air drifts into the bowl.
I laid beneath it on a cold evening this weekend, and it was marvelous.
I have a director’s chair I bought ~30 years ago, when I needed chairs and they were cheap at Pier One. The wood was looking dry so put mineral oil on it … and realized it still had playa dust on it from #BurningMan EIGHT years ago. The canvas is fine (tiny mold spot in one spot from all the rain), the wood frame is fine, and it folds up to slightly larger than today’s camp chairs — which rarely last that long with the same amount of abuse. I’m basically Team Wood and Canvas forever.
Annoyed that I can’t just serve an amaro cold because I’ve no space in the freezer, but maybe not quite annoyed enough to build a shot-at-a-time peltier cooler. OTOH that would be a killer little #burningman project.
@squeed Jesus Christ, TIL “resort fees”, that’s fucked. Similarly I’ve bought event tickets that cost $x, plus $y for delivery or $y for box office pickup. That makes the fucking price $x+y then doesn’t it, you disingenuous arseholes. #burningman
Brain Weasel: “ you have nothing scheduled this weekend, you’re lazy and people don’t like you”
Logic brain: “ senior weasel.. in the next 6 months we are running a 1000 person security conference (#bsidesseattle) , leading a conflict deescalation team at the 1200 person local burn, running floor Security at #defcon, and building a new evolution for security and risk at one of the largest banks in the world”
Brain Weasel: “ Sure, but what important things are you doing”
Brains are not always trustworthy narrators. Fact checking required!
The best thing about the #BurningMan community was often the #food, nice to see this hasn't changed. I'll probably never go back and yet I want to visit Breakfast Alley.
