Biking Across the Playa
I think I need a bike this year at Burning Man!  And, I need an awesome bike... with all kinds of lights and perhaps some speakers where I can plug in my iPod.  The only problem is that I am not handy.  I have only a few skills, and none of them seem to include all the things that everyone at Burning Man can build except me.  Wherever I go, I'm surrounded by all kinds of nice hand-made art exhibitions...  fanciful and crazy stuff is everywhere.  Sure, I'm handy with a stylus and a Wacom tablet, but that doesn't do me much good in the desert.

So, if you come out to the playa and have an extra amazing bike sitting around, let me know.  I'll bring you some Belgian gourmet chocolate for the trade.

Thunderdome - Blood on the Sand
I was only partially injured while getting this photo from the wild sands of Burning Man.

A group tenderly called the "Death Guild" erected a Thunderdome in the desert city here at Burning Man. I was riding home on my customized Mad Max bike (thx for making it for me +Cliff Baise !), and I saw hundreds converging on the Thunderdome for a massive fight. Screaming hordes started climbing the super-structure to get a closer look. By the time I arrived, the observers were 10 deep on all sides, everyone crushing in to get a view of the big fight ...

Burning Man 2011 (176 of 177)-Edit
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
One hard thing about Burning Man is not “getting used to” everything around you.  Believe it or not, after a few days, seeing interesting people wearing crazy clothes and doing wonderful things becomes quite commonplace.  It’s kind of like living inside a non-stop Cirque-de-soleil!

I was riding by on my bike and there was another photographer taking photos of this girl.  He had just finished, so I swooped in, jumped off my bike, and took a quick photo.  I felt a little bad about jumping in at the end of his photoshoot, but I figured that the Burning-Man-chill-attitude would make everything okay… and I think it did!
