nothing like having a toned body on the playa. a few years ago, i was buffed like steel and so people thought i was the MAN. i had to run away from people several times. then the next year, i kept telling people that i was the MAN and that they were burning the wrong MAN, but no one believed me.

so this year, i am getting buffed again. i may get lucky and burn. specially since i'll be lighting my poi for the first time;

i'll be camping in a solo camp, pulling a small trailer behind my bike that would serve as my shade structure, kitchen and tent. come rescue me if you see people running after my camp.

don't i look awesome? just kidding, but my smile is pretty good :);

here's a link to all the pics. a great party as usual. i wanna move to philly.

oops, here's the link:

yeah, last night was. a magical encounter with a stranger, a very romantic movie only to be seen alone ("once") and then dreaming beautiful dreams all night long. was i under the spell of the solstice? i hope so.

go see the movie if you are in the mood to fall in love. i wasn't but i am tempted now :)

can't figure out how i feel. i guess that's cool. not in control. am i ever? the picture is of a vendor who was asking me how much it costs for him to come to the US. I recently visited Iran where I managed to organize a small burn.
