Are You Missing “The Burn”?

Most of us are home and cleaning the playa dust from this year’s [BM].  My kitchen continues to smell like vinegar since my husband and I arrived home two weeks apart.  But most of my friends are talking about missing the community and spectacle they experience at the Burning Man event. For some of them, like us, it has become a part of their lives.  I know there are a lot of videos out there but I thought you might like to see “Burn Baby Burn”.  It does have some enhancements so if you are a purist about the Burn this might not be the video for you, but I loved it:

Music: BRAPT, an underground Belgian artist
Animation: John Ferran (Dustfish)
Video: Mister WA or MisterWAvideo@gmail.com

    I miss “The Burn”–frequently, in fact. Not so much in a ‘yearning’ kind of way, but more of a ‘failure to attend’. Sometimes my excuses are good, such as surgeries. Sometimes my excuses are poor, such as being poor. Sometimes missing is its own excuse. This year, however, my excuse for missing “The Burn” was not only excellent, it was on theme! On September 1, 2012, the day of the Fertility 2.0 burn, my second child was born into this strange and beautiful world.
