Yo -- I talked to
Ramona Mayhem moments ago -- called her just as she was starting up Blingle Bee for the journey south to the Burn. Gave (and got) lots o' fresh juju and know that we will be well represented this year on-playa. Now I'm  semi-frantically surfing the web at work looking for fresh pictures from the playa, weather/dust storm reports, music line-ups, whatever. Bassnectar and Glitch on the headphones. Gerlach webcam reveals nothing. Default World tick-tocks on....

I've told you already how the feeling is building inside me, and with each day the gathering draws closer, I feel it more intense. Some longing involved, like my soul is literally being pulled out of my center and southward, though it can't detach from me and is sort of dangling out there like a kite on a string, trying to sail me towards Gerlach. I had this quiet thought this morning on the drive that I will slowly and quietly start collecting clothing and funbox items for the 2009 Burn over the next year, and just see what happens!

Damn, Ramona and Hekter are ON THE MOVE!!$#*#@!~?!

love, P'Duster

Looking to the 2009 Burn already!  Not surprising. I too am feeling the fire build inside of me and around me. The metaphor of fire, the image of fire, the memory of fire flares up in my everyday - in so many moments spiritual and mundane.  

I spent a long time last night before and after our video chat, reading blogs - tribe.net, burning man.com; looking at music line ups, visiting websites - Cypher Town, Opulent Temple, Purple Palace; basing on the images floating across my desktop - Crude Awakenings, Boogie Pyramid, Jackson Junk, The Temple. I have committed my audio listening to
the many podcasts that we created to focus our intention before the burn and capture our experience post burn. I find myself talking about to everyone around me. I feel my spirit flutter, drawn toward home, seeking freedom but tethered by the same string that keeps you from flying away south.

Perhaps I need to keep any eye open for items for my funbox?

Looking forward to connecting deeply with you.  To Light It Up, Burn It Down and blow it out!

Soon come!
