bm2004: wherefore art car?

spent yesterday unsuccessfully trying to hitch rides on art cars. the first one was going back to center camp where we had just been, the second one went 10 feet and then stopped, the third one went 50 feet before stopping, and the fourth one never even started moving.

we did find some good house music at pinkies (pink mammoth camp), and then a nice boy named thaddeus biked the four of us back to center camp on his makeshift pedicab.

then the windstorms came in, and we were stranded in whiteout conditions for hours. fortunately, we had just bumped into jenifir, a friend of cheryl’s who was part of cosmic giggle, and had a nice convenient dome to hide out at next to center camp for a few hours, getting to know sunil, emo, mya, and worshipping the chia goddess.

possibly the best part of the afternoon was getting to spend time and get to know zen better. the funny thing is that she says that she loves hmc, and now she’s getting to know me, but she still can’t figure out hmc+me and how that works. she sees that something’s there and that it’s great, but she’s really curious what it’s about. it’s a secret! we’ll never tell! (ok, but don’t tell anyone: she’s the bestest most brilliant amazing person i’ve ever met, and she’s always got my back. and all we do is have fun all the time!)

at night we went to opulent temple of venus, but the big white dome between otov and lush had this kick ass marching band: the march fourth! marching band from portland. they were a blast, and they even did a tom waits cover. eventually, we found the unimog over at lotus camp and danced our asses off.

1. beef jerky is really yummy. plus, after you’re done, the ziplock bag makes a handy in-tent garbage bag!
2. my ass hurts already from riding around. that crocodile needs a fat padded seat. or maybe i just need more of an ass.
