| i'm off to burning man | 08.27.2010 |
*UPDATE* Video added.
I'm off to the Playa! I'll be back after Labor Day. I'm heading up to Black Rock City for my 3rd trip to Burning Man. I'm looking forward to a week of disconnecting with the world and experiencing the craziness that is Burning Man. I'll hardly be blogging, tweeting or checking in with my office, so I just wanted to give y'all a heads up that I'll be off the grid for a while. I may try to post a few photos from the playa, so read on to see where they will be.
A lot of people have been asking me "What is Burning Man?" and all I can say is, "It's hard to explain". In a nutshell, it's an experiment in community. It's 40,000 people in the middle of the desert experiencing life, not worrying about what society say and sharing their art. When I first went, I was a little scared and I didn't know what to expect. But now that I've been, I can't explain why it moves me so much and I look forward to going every year. I'll write more about it when I return and have images to share from this year's journey.

I mashed up a few video clips from last year. Keep in mind I am not a video guy, but I plan on experimenting more with video this year:
Here are a couple of images from last year. You can click the images to see 3 different posts from last year. You can also check in on my Tumblr page starting Monday night for images from this years burn. Warning: My Tumblr page is NSFW (and it's mostly likely going to get more unsafe!).
