to burn or not to burn

so cheryl just asked me if i would go to burning man with her.

i don’t know.

hmc swore that we would finally go this year, after missing it for several years. we were super determined, and i even bought cheap tickets online as soon as they went on sale. alas, the film business drags on, and she’s of course booked on this other film, monster house (no, not the tv show, dummy) through october. so i really haven’t given it much thought at all. i’ve sort of thought about it here and there, but i figured that if i really wanted to go, i would have put some effort into it before now, and i hadn’t. so i was resigned to just not going and selling my ticket, since i already sold our other ticket to joy.

but now cheryl, who’s been on the same fence as i have, is now tempted to go. and asks me. which may just be the thing that i wanted/needed, someone to go with.

but all the problems: last minute planning. how to get there? where to camp? food! water! bicycles!

it’s all overwhelming and daunting.

can i really do this? do i really want to?

this just in: w says, “i think you should go to burningman with cheryl. it’ll be totally different— don’t prepare much at all. get some fabulous clothes (or non-clothes) & sign up for blyss abyss meals. get out, have fun.”

hmmm.

We have 2 playa bikes languishing at Andrew Law’s. I’d love it if they went to the playa even if we can’t.

all signs point to: GO

plus, cheryl has never been before and she’s all on the fence and needs YOU to say yes so she’ll get off her ass and go. nexy year she’ll probably be in colorado and so this is the year to do it. you have to go e, it’s your destiny .. or destin-e. you might even say you are destin-ed to go.
