Burning Man 2009: Evolution Time Lapse
Evolution (Burning Man time lapses) from Delrious on Vimeo.
This is exactly what the Playa looked like the first time I experienced it 10 Burns ago...serious over-stimulation. Everything was whirling around me at hyper-speed. My brain couldn't process all of those sights and sounds. My eyes had trouble tracking across the vast desert landscape...look over there...no, over there...no, over there! My head was spinning. It was probably the closest thing to a Zach Braff induced time-lapse sequence that I'll ever experience...Tuesday, September 15, 2009
Burning Man 2009: Love

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!

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.

One hour in...things are moving along smoothly. I realized this morning that I've been coming to Kelly for braids since at least 2003. I love spending this time with her. We have a years worth of stories to get caught up on. So far the biggest news is that Kelly is four months pregnant!!! I'm so incredibly happy for her. Listening to her talk about the baby so lovingly is proof positive that she'll be a wonderful Mama. Stay tuned...more updates to come.

Burning Man 2009: What To Expect At The Gate
BRC Gate Arrival 2008
From Sparkle...
Here's some tips on what to expect at the Gate when arriving at Black Rock City and how to make the process go as smoothly as possible for you:
#1. BE ON TIME
No one likes an 'Early Emily'.
Please, do not plan to arrive, and DO NOT arrive at BRC until you are allowed to be there. The event opens at 12:01am on MONDAY August 31st. Showing up early may actually cause you to get into the event later than if you show up on time. Stop somewhere and take a break if it
looks like you will arrive early rather than drive 2 hours to BRC only to be turned around. You will save yourself a lot of frustration. IF YOU ARRIVE BEFORE 12:01AM YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED INTO THE EVENT AND YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO WAIT AT THE GATE.
#2. BE PREPARED.
Don't be a 'Disorganized Danny'.
When you roll up to the playa, have your ticket and any applicable paperwork (copy of mutant vehicle registration, early arrival pass, etc.) in your hand. Not your friends' hands, not in your trunk, not in your friend named Hans' trunk. Be prepared to show your ticket to the
Gate volunteer as soon as you hit the gravel (heck, get it ready in Gerlach!).
Your car will be searched at the Gate. Keep this in mind when packing and the search will be easier for everyone, which means you get through faster. If you have a large vehicle or a lot of stuff, we appreciate it when you help us during the search! Read the Survival Guide and know what items are not allowed into BRC!
#3. BE AWARE
Don't be an 'Uninformed Ursula'.
Buying a ticket or picking up a Will Call ticket?: stay in the FAR RIGHT LANE on Gate Road and look for the entrance to the Will Call Lot. Go to Will Call/Box Office, get your tickets and then get in line. Everyone in your vehicle must have a ticket in hand when you reach the Gate or your entire car will be turned around! Do not add an hour (or more!) to your wait time. Don't get searched twice! Head to will call, get the tickets, and get in line - but don't get in line without all your tickets!
#4. BE REALISTIC
No one enjoys a 'Frustrated Ferguson'.
Thousands of people arrive in the first 18 hours of opening. If you arrive during these hours, expect a long wait at the Gate. If you want a smoother and faster entry, consider arriving after the initial rush. If you are going to arrive in the hours after opening, plan to enjoy the wait. This is also true for Exodus - avoid leaving during the peak afternoon times on Sunday and Monday if you want your best chance at a shorter line. You have been warned!
#5. BE PATIENT
No one likes a 'Grumpy Gateperson', just like no one likes an 'Angry Allen' or 'Mean Mary'.
The Gate folks are VOLUNTEERS. They donate their time to help you get in to Black Rock City! If you're patient with them, they will be patient with you. Remember, no one likes a 'Dishonest Denise' or a "Fencehopping Freddy'. Please, be patient, play nice and wait your turn. Cutting in line and running through fences not only makes you lame, it will guarantee that you get into the event a LOT later than you planned.
Also: Gate is NOT Greeters. Gate is Gate. Greeters is the
fun part just after Gate.
