Burning Man or Bust
Our prep work has begun for Burning Man 2010! Yesterday Ian cracked open our Burning Man totes for the first time in several years. This dusty job starts with an inventory of what’s in there, what still works, what needs repairing or replacing, and so on. There’s lots of dust. Lots of list-making. And lots of “Oh wow! I forgot about this!”—not surprising, considering we haven’t been to the playa since Asher was but a bump in my belly (2006).
Asher especially enjoyed the old rainbow umbrella and the wacky glasses Ian pulled out of the totes. Alas, dear Internet, I cannot show you the rest of his “outfit.”
While I have some trepidation about taking my littlest boy out to the desert for a week of experiential silliness and irrepressible elements, I’m starting to get the inkling that he’s going to have a rad time. Outrageous flamboyance in his genes.

I’ve always wanted to go to Burning Man! One of these years we’ll make it.
Lucky kid…I’m sure he’ll have a blast! It’ll be like a Dr Suess book come to life! HAVE FUN!

Maureen, we love Burning Man. It’s inspiring and challenging and wonderfully weird. This year will be a new experience for us, as we’ll have two children to keep safe, hydrated, and happy. When our older son, Lucas, last went, he was 4.5 years old and he had a blast. I’m really looking forward to it! I hope you’ll make it out there someday.
