Hoop Camp 2009 from Philo Hagen on Vimeo.
I can't believe I didn't go to Hoop Camp this year. Ops gently but repeatedly encouraged me to join her and Sammi up in Santa Cruz. At the time (right before Burning Man) all I could focus on was The Burn. Ugh, my bad! What an incredible (looking) event. Mark my words...NEXT YEAR!Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Running: Easing Back In
The kinks are loosening up! It was a good run this AM but I started out a little faster than last week and pooped out by 3 miles. I'll have to try to pace things out better next time. My back, of all things, is tight. Must stretch...

Life: I Heart M Cafe
Life: I Heart M Cafe
Originally uploaded by Sanctuary-Studio
When I have a hankering for a veggie burger one of my favorite stops is M Cafe in Culver City. Pictured here is The Big Macro burger, Kale with Spicy Peanut Sauce, a side of fries (w/ beet ketchup) and Kale Lemonade. As usual everything was delish. Although, the lemonade was a bit too sweet (for me even). Unfortunately, the prices keep us from dining here more often but my love for a good (non-soy based) veggie burger will keep me coming back.

Running: Yawn...
First thing out of my mouth this AM was "Are we really going to the gym this morning?" That said, I finally understand why it's been so hard for me to get back into gym mode post-burn. It's f'g dark out at 6am during this time of year,yo! Anyway, we did it....we made it back to the gym. For those keeping track this is the first time back since before the Burn. Which makes it about a month since my last workout. I pushed through 3 miles at a much slower pace than where I left off. It's clear I've got some kinks to work out so taking it slow was a good thing.

You're gifted the best swag when you Greet! Not shown are the 10,000 beers I was handed (including a 12'er of PBR) AND the huge bottle of Kettle One. Most of which we ended up lugging home. And Farilla was worried that we didn't bring enough alcohol. Ha! The bird in the
center is an actual cutout from the magnificent MOM sculpture near 5 o'clock and Esplanade. Complete awesomeness.

Just ran across this (and this) photo on Flickr. One of my favorite things to do post-burn is to scan the recent Burner uploads. It's totally therapeutic...helps with the post-Playa funk. Pictured here are Jimmoi and Lizziebot. This was taken at sunrise on Sunday at Opulent Temple where Team Shutterilla & Team Limmie danced well into the morning hours. Yes, they really are THAT amazing together! Mrtwism could not have captured a more perfect Playa moment of this radiant couple. Bravo!
Photo: Susie Ghahremani @ GR2 8/2008
These snaps, shot at the opening reception of Susie Ghahremani's solo show at GR2 LAST YEAR, represent the epitome of my slackness...um, slackdome?! I've been photo-lite for the past 12 months...with good reason. I decided to make a conscious effort to be more present in life rather than hiding behind my rig. It's easy for me to get lost in my photo world (which was momentarily brought to light on the Playa this year)....I'll save that for another story. But I digress, my amazingly talented friend, Sandra, held the role as instillation director for Susie's show! Not an easy task if you're familiar with the venue. Well done, Ladies!

Photos: Lizziebot's Bridal Shower Brunch
Shortly before leaving for the Playa I managed to break away from my all-consuming Burning Man prep to attend L-bot's bridal shower. What a celebration! When Kirsten and X-bot are involved with the party planning you can expect nothing less than sheer brilliance...right down to the smallest detail.
Indeed it is, already...
It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon celebrating the future Mrs. Greenway. For a few more snaps of the festivities click here.

Life: Shutterilla - Year One!
Joshua Tree :: 10/2008
365 days ago today my life changed for the better....a spark ignited fueled by endless possibilities. It amazes me how quickly this year has gone by. I cherish every moment Farilla and I have shared together nonetheless.
Today, on our one year anniversary, we celebrate "Us"! We'll celebrate the endless laughter and happiness which often brings me to tears, the commitment we've made to one another, the trust that bonds us together, our friendship which blossomed eight years ago last week and the love that fuels our inner fire.
Thank you, My Love, for your partnership. Wow...what a team we make! You completely blow my mind with the level of commitment you have to Us. There is no doubt that we'll continue to accomplish the many goals and dreams we've set together.
You are my one.
Truly, Madly, Deeply...

Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear from Gabe Askew on Vimeo.
This fan made video by Gabe Askew went viral while I was on The Playa. Despite the fact that you've probably already seen it I can't help but post it for you again. Come on, it's worth another viewing...complete eye candy!Burning Man 2009: Shutterillaville In Homeslice
Trailer Park
Originally uploaded by ninjaonmoss
Adi, a longtime friend and fellow Slicer just ran across this lovely photo of Shutterillaville (aka The Hut) taken by our BRC neighbor ninjaonmoss. As you can probably tell this was shot pre-event opening. Farilla and I went out early again this year with Ops and Otter to work with Greeters. I love getting into the city early and watching it grow. We heard the population was only around 43,000 this year. Down from about 53,000 in 2008. Going out before the event opens allows you to meet so many more people which in-turn makes the city not seem so large. I really enjoyed riding around during burn week and bumping into people we'd met/greeted during the early days. For a larger view of this image click here.

You have no idea how badly I want to stick my feet in that little river we're driving along! I'm sure it's freezing, though. On a mission to hit Bishop before Erick Schatz's Bakery closes. Mmmm, dreaming of a super yummy sammie on freshly baked bread!
