my favorite memory....hmmm...I had a pretty fantastic burn night this year. I was surprised, because usually I'm not as excited about the burn as everyone else. This year was good. We all got really silly and belligerent in the best possible way. We sat on a big scaffolding to watch the man burn, and everyone was yelling and singing and hurling good-natured insults at each other. It was great. After hours of dancing I decided to head home earlier than everyone else. As I was walking back across the playa I ran into three wonderful guys who were handing out fresh baked cupcakes. I have never been so excited about cupcakes in my life....and these were good. Red velvet with homemade frosting!

one of my fave moments (there are soooo many)...

i had extra room in my truck so i went by the reno airport's burner greeting station and signed up to transport newbies without rides.

i met this amazing woman who had just flown in from a vacation in the galapagos islands. she had never been to brc before and was pretty clueless about burning man but very resourceful and fearless. she didn't know where to meet her friend who'd invited her or the name of her camp or the address.

we arrived at brc just as i'd planned - in time for me to attend the kick ass wednesday night party at the queer girls camp.

i really wanted to go to the straponathon at camp beaverton but i was hesitant to leave the newbie all by herself. so instead of going to the party i kinda stayed and babysat her at center camp till she figured out what to do.

so there i was feeling sorry for myself for missing my party and i just decided to go and see if there was any of it left going on. it was very late!

lo and behold, there were still a few partiers there even though the event was long over (and i found out they had to turn ppl away since they had an overflow crowd!)

i ended up talking half the night (and hooking up with) with some really cool women! and watching some amazing strap on action which seriously educated me!
