The Time Has Come

Are you going (to Burningman)?
Where are you staying?
What's on your to do, to see list?
Anything else I should know.

Just like anyone else, the playa runs away with me. I'm lucky if I'm able to do half the things I say.
I am running an event. Wednesday--Mad Scientist Rampage! 8 pm. A and 3--the Booby Bar!

I'm at the Booby Bar.

When People Insist on Helping Me...

...I often feel helpless. (oh, the ironing!)
No wonder I hate it, no wonder I rail and rant and rave.
It's like a little death inside me. I can feel the knot in my chest.

Poof.

Two Things I Care About

I don't like to ask for things, not even for someone else. And I think it's possibly sketchy blogging, but this does matter to me, and I ask that you consider giving if you have the cash...
Bureau of Erotic Discourse (BED) educates on sex, boundaries and consent at burningman and some regional. We are also looking for volenteers. Money would go towards our buttons and the materials we use on playa.

Mr. Jellyfish Mr. has been making interesting art (including Zsu Zsu, Mantis, and Fluffer) for the playa for years. He needs a little help getting his latest project to burningman this month.

This Just Sort of Makes Me Feel Dorky

I get a question from one of the staff, via email. I answer that question and cc the manager. Then I roll over to her cubicle and tell her what was in the message I just sent.

I don't think I should not send her the message, but I know she's always behind on her email.

Meh.

I Cannot Drive my Fucking Van

Two reasons:
1--The door by which I'd get in and out is broken. (Off its track and the aftermarket motor on the automatic door has given up the ghost.)
2--I don't have the ez lock thing on the bottom of my chair, so it can be anchored when I drive.

The first person who was helping me gave up when it broke his heart that the door was fucking up.
I asked someone else, who then thought that the best thing was to get up to Chico because he knew a mechanic who...blah, blah, blah...

I have a mechanic for the door stuff in town. There are places that can put the system in for me.

I am, however, discouraged.

It Has Been Sitting There Two Weeks or More

It is a Klean Kanteen water bottle, fancy new top, bright blue colored, stainless steel.
In an empty office, which is not being used as a conference room.
Is it some sort of test of our honesty?
It is not sitting there any more.

I am Having Scalp Issues

How dreadfully un-pc of me.

Oh wait, taht woudl be scalping issues.

just my scalp. A nasty raw spot. I'm doing my best not ot pick at it and slathering it in aloe. It's getting better, although not as quickly as I'd like.

Happy weekend.
