Hey Moontrolling,
I just wanted to say hey and thank you for the Center Camp Cirumnambulation beautiful video (with some Bassnectar to boot!). My name is Heloise Ladyslipper and I'm the volunteer coordinator to decorate Center Camp Cafe. Your video was just what I needed today. I am a bit stressed out and behind on my Burning Man work but seeing this totally brought me back to why I volunteer for this position and spend a great portion of my free time on it. I love the sense of community that CCCafe brings and I really think you captured it in your video. I love the brightness of the color too. I love that you captured to flags because they are my (and the vols that sew them here at BMHQ at craft parties) babies and I was super proud of them last year! Plus the rags to flags pennant flags in the 3 rings and just seeing all the people in there having a blast. it made me heart happy. Love the smiles!!!

So thank you again from the bottom of
my sparkly heart! You have inspired me and brought me back to where
i needed to be. I am going to send it out to my cafe crew so they
can see their work again. seeing this video makes me super excited
to get on the playa and set her up!!!
If you have a moment, please send me a hello. I would love to connect with you.
dusty dreamin' kisses and thanks to you!

Praises from Wanobi of Ohmland
Hey Playaduster:
I’m was at a BBQ yesterday for a friend’s birthday. Suffice to say I had a few drunken conversations, the one I remember was about karma. I realized that there was this huge disconnect between some of oldest friends and a very small band of merry burners (all of whom don’t know it).
Anyway I woke up this morning, checked out of my friends place and got on the Docklands Light Railway back to Stratford, East London. This is a cool little above ground train that runs really slowly through the docks, the business districts and finally the post industrial heartland of London’s eastend.
I’ve had your Destination Burning Man Trilogy on my pod for a while but just haven’t been at the time and place. But trust me this was perfect. I put on Reintegration, as this train wound through equally beautiful business and residential districts. Most are deprived but on this sunny Sunday morning everything took on a new light. Particularly with the perfectly judged, wonderfully paced mix that you’ve created. I could go on about how I loved your choice of tracks (which I did) but that would be missing the main point. I got back from SF to London in Feb and I thought I had that playa feeling all the time. Yeah I was receptive but damn your mix has brought it all back. Not reintegration into the world but reintegration back into the fold. Back to feeling the power of potential. Good shit, my friend. Good shit. Keep it up.
Our camp this year is going that bit larger. Finally a theme camp. We’ll have a DJ rig with some decent soundpressure. It’d be a total pleasure if you could drop by, spin or just hang out.
Peace.

Hey Edubious:
All I can say is stupendous…
Damn. Your guys sound is fantastic. Right on the money. I just sent some feedback to the destinationburningman address (about reintegration) but then listened to East to West as well just after. In awe. Literally. And this is from someone with a fair chunk of worldy vibes and a long interest in electronica and organica.
Currently hailing from East London having just left SF but will be joining up with the merry crew this summer. This year we’re going to haul a sound rig up there. Fairly small by soundcamp standard* but we promise to have more love. A set like this would banish inhibitions and just get it going. Get some organic beats going and anything could happen.
Nice one my friend. Nice one.

Boogie Universal's Electric
Mayhem
The Electric Mayhem, staying out way too late the night before the race
A bunch of his playa refugees from the Boogie Universal, along with partners and new friends, participated in the Ski to Sea race on Memorial Weekend. The race starts in the snow at Mount Baker east of Bellingham, Washington and traverses 85 miles over 7 legs before reaching the saltwater of Bellingham Bay 7+ hours later. None of us have run the race before, even though it is an annual ritual in this corner of the country, and we aren't the kinds of peeps that get really in to endurance racing of any kind (unless you count all-night bike riding on the playa at Burning Man!)
Here are some photos & video of the team, Boogie Universal's Electric Mayhem, in action:
(Click below to see action shots of the whole team- who knew Burners could move so fast?!)
(The canoe leg was cancelled because the Nooksack River was flowing too high, cold and fast, so this is as much action as Moontroll & Marcey saw in the race...)
In the end, we completed the race in 7 hours, forty-three minutes and 41 seconds, placing 249th in a sea of something like 500 teams.
More photos from race day are here, thanks to our nordic skier man, Scott G., who flew in from Steamboat, Colorado. Special thanks to Ramona Mayhem who organized and prodded the Boogie to play together in the race -- WOOT!
