The excitement is thicker than ever, people. The light is beautiful, the Man base … I’m not wanting to blow smoke here, but it’s pretty damn incomparable.
And now, the Man himself has taken his place in the middle of things, right where he belongs.
Can you feel it?
It’s all getting so close.

Beautiful!!
I am leaving early to begin my first trip to the man.
No way I can sleep tonight. Instead, with my eyes closed, I am floating on a calm blue sea of envy, from every person I know who isn’t making this trip.

YES.
I can feel it.
Whether you are going to the playa this year or not,
you can feel it.
It’s not on the playa, it’s in your heart.
I can’t wait to be welcomed home by him.

soooo close! I leave today straight from work! I can’t wait.
Its never real for me until I cross the border! My friends just got denied entry yesterday and won’t be able to make it out this year :(
Here’s hoping my border crossing goes more smoothly and I get to see the man in person!

Thanks to your blogs & pix, I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in over a week. I keep waking up with visions of the playa dancing in my head. Not a bad way to spend the wee hours though!! The anticipation is bigger for me this year for some reason. Hmmm, I wonder what the Man has in store.

Less than 3 hours… I can’t wait to be on the playa again. So many friends and familiar sights, smells, sounds. I’ll be home again soon.
