Bonjour Dear Mama

Dear Friends,

It is said to announce that my mother died yesterday July 26, 2008 in Farmington, Michigan at age 78. It appears she passed away from complications with hepatitis C originally contracted from a contaminated needle at the time of my birth years ago.

Bonjour dear mama, welcome home, I miss you already.

Love your son, BJ

PS: I may be gone and unavailable for a week of two.

A Great Theme Camp Challenge and Idea for All

Copied: From their site:
bureauoferoticdiscourse.org/Gues...k.php


Thank you for accepting the B.E.D. Theme Camp Challenge!


B.E.D. challenges every single Burning Man theme camp to make sexual assault education part of their camp business. We are asking every camp to sit down with your members and discuss the issue and responsibility of sexual exploration at Burning Man. How do you broach this sensitive subject? We have developed a short outline to help you out. It's easy!

Gather your peeps around (or use an email forum) and read the following:

"We want our campmates to be open and to enjoy any and all sex you may have at Burning Man! However, every year there are incidences of sexual assault on the playa and we want our beloved camp mates to be safe! So, even though it's an awkward subject, we would like to briefly talk about sex and what behavior we expect from all of our camp members. To promote this awareness, the Bureau of Erotic Discourse has asked up to endorse the following guidelines for safe sexual adventures:

#1 Always ask before touching, even if you know them! It's polite, it's good manners, it will earn their respect.

#2 Respect your partner's desires and boundaries. How do you find them out? ASK! Again, it's fun and sexy to find out a little about your partner before diving in.

#3 Do not have sex with an intoxicated or stoned person... not only is it technically against the law, but it is potentially very hurtful to that person. And what fun it that??? If you have made a sober pre-agreement with a partner and go get fucked up, thats cool... but do not pick up a drunk, high hottie and take advantage! Be smart, take care of your partner, cover your butt, get sober ... then get some conscious luvin'.

#4 Card your partner... OK, maybe that's exaggerating but please make sure your potential partner is of age. There are some darn hot underage peeps old out there, so be aware! Again, we don't want anyone hurt out there.

#5 If you hear or see one of our campmates in trouble, step in and ask if they need help! We would like it if you did this with anyone out there, but we absolutely expect it with our theme camp family. We take care of each other! In addition, consider buddying up when you go out for the evening. Guys watch out for the women, and vice versa! We do not want any of our family member assaulted this year.

#6 If, god forbid, someone does get assaulted or feels threatened in any way, we want you to know right now that we support everyone here! No matter how it went down- tell us. There are amazing services available both at the Ranger Stations, Medical Tents and Emergency Services. We will go with you, we will hold your hand, we will take care of you. If some thing happens-- tell us! The same goes if some thing happens within our camp or outside of it. Remember, you are not alone!

If you need help with any sexual assault, domestic violence or other threatening situation, know that Burning Man has developed a team of Emergency Services personnel to help victims of violence or abuse. Seek help at any Ranger Station or Medical Station.

Rainbow witnesses needed for July 3rd Kid Village incident

A huge force of law enforcement shot off pepper spray and rubber bullets at a suspect they arrested in Kids Village during the dinner circle on July 3, 2008 at the Wyoming Family Gathering, nearly starting a riot, death, injury and fire interrupting our peaceful family and spiritual diner time together.

These officer deserve to be called on these issues and accountable for their disrespect and violations of human, animal and plant life and the rights and intent of the law to protect the masses and not cause chaos.

Help Dress Me for the Big Burn, Holloween, Santa Rampage

I need a personal shopper or costume maker.

I love my all over tan and being nude; but also enjoy dressing up and in themed costumes at events and gatherings.

Not into making clothes and... It is very difficult for males to find
or buy Playa, Burner, Seasonal, Santa Rampage, Leather, Fetish, Sexy or Cool Funny
Costumes and Clothes to wear at events such as "Burningman 08" August 25-September 1, 2008, when not in the buff.

I’ve got an easy size body to fit and most peep outfits are oversized anyways. Willing to buy, pay or trade.

Till I fine help. I'll keep trying the thrift stores and continue wearing my best tan. LOL!

My 1st Rainbow Gathering

The 37th Annual Rainbow Family
Gathering of the Tribes
Big Sandy, Wyoming



July 1-6, 2008 I was at my 1st Annual National Rainbow Gathering in Wyoming at "Big Sandy" which is south /southeast of Pinedale, near Boulder Lake, Wyoming. In the Bridger-Teton National Forest, with mountain snow peaks not far away and above us.

A different kind of fun than Burningman or other Camping, Festival, Drum Circle, Event or Gathering with some overlapping Community Members attending. I represented the Beach and Nudist Tribes well and everyone called me Beach, naturally. LOL.

I joined the Theme Camp called Las Vegas Lounge; 678 miles northeast of Las Vegas up the wooded hillside above the trail to the Main Gathering Circle and the “Big Sandy River”.

Not wanting to drive to the Gathering alone, but for some reason it seemed I needed to do so this time. I left Vegas early and arrived at 6: PM after driving through rain and muddy roads the last 3 hours to get to the remote location. It was getting dark so I camped near my car the 1st night with others waiting to hike up and down the hills from the middle gate parking area to the find the Gatherings primitive, full pack, hard core, high altitude, pack it in-pack it out camping areas. There were a number of modest to hard hillside trails ranging from 2-1/2-3 miles each way with trails crisscrossing.

I could tell you about the welcomed home family members, the huge force of cops who nearly started a riot, the beautiful landscape, mountains and river rapids, the amazing 4 hours I drummed and danced nude at Center Pole on the 4th of July Gathering with at least 10,000 others including all my Las Vegas Drum Circle new and old Friends or the wonderful fresh homemade food served free throughout the day with love and a smile.

The rest of the story is the reason I needed to drive to my first Rainbow Gathering alone.

The next morning full pack strapped to my back as I hike up the trail about half way to the Vegas Lounge and looked up to see my Las Vegas Drum Circle friends Bill and Scott coming down the trail. It turned out that Bill was feeling ill and leaving for the bus station home. I ditched my gear in the woods hiked back to my car and gave Bill my car to drive home instead of having to drive him to Rock Springs, WY a 100 miles to the bus station.
I finish the Rainbow Gathering and rode home in Scott car in place of Bill. He got home fine and is feeling much better now.

X’s, BJ “Life’s A Rainbow Beach”
