This is the first year I have been out here so early. It's awesome. There are maybe 300 people here, cafe crew, lamplighters, various art projects and of course DPW. The weather has been hot during the day andf cold, cold at night. Dining in the commisary is delightful, all the freaks gather there. Today was a birthday celebration for one of the cooks and everyone purposally sagn off key and NOT in unison happy birthday. It was cacophany at it's best.

Worked on the shade structure for center camp today dug holes for posts, zip tied fabric, drank good whiskey and beer. A good crew and really fun to contribite to. Next year I will do this again if I can work out child care. Two weeks would be even better. If I can afford to take three weeks off work.

Time for bed, for everyone reading this I cannot wait to see you out here. I spent some time with Cookie, who has been here for a week building the keyhole project with a new york burner. Bunnie Bonb, Bon is here working ticket crew. Fuck it's fun here.
