Burning Man 2009 Pictures (part 1)
This year was my second year to Burning Man. Unlike last year where I decided overnight to just go and went unprepared, this year, I knew from before that I wanted to go I got my ticket for a pretty decent price after I posted on my facebook status that I wanted a ticket. For the ride, I had posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a ride, and I was very lucky to have found a veteran burner - Kimo.
Kimo had been quite a few times and was going again this year with his daughter Kaley and graciously offered to share his ride with me and two other persons (David and Melanie) he found on CL as well. He had a huge truck in which he was able to fit 5 bicycles and all our camping gear and food for the week. We left on Tuesday evening and reached Black Rock City at night. We met up with Therese and Tony (Kimo's friends from the last Burn) there who had come earlier and had already set up shade structure (an actual parachute supported by PVC pipes) at 4;30 and H. Under the parachute, they had couches, coffee table, plants, carpet, great set up for the playa.They graciously offered to camp with them. We unloaded the truck and all set up our tents in the dark around the parachute. 4:30 and H was a perfect street location. We were only 1 block from the toilets and we had the PapaLegbar camp set up on the other side of the street which had set up a cellphone tower to offer cell service and internet on the Playa (but which I only found out on the last day), the Shady Waffle camp one block away which was serving pancakes (hence shady) every morning, the free phone camp which allowed us to make calls to the outside world not far away as well. Then there was Camp New Jersey next door, which had allowed us to use their shower tub (if we brought our own water) and use their evaporation system as well.
I've added some pictures in Random Order to this entry.
