		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the great pictures. 

This was our 2nd burn. We came to BRC in 2008 as well. Our son is a manager in DPW. He has been encouraging his mother and I to come to Burning Man for several years. 2009 was his 13th Burn. Iwish I had taken his advise.
I still cannot describe the feelings and emotions I felt last year for the first time and how we became one with the environment, the poeple and the whole idea of being in a place with so much frfeedom and loving people. It is rare to meet someone who is not judgemental let alone live with 40,000+ of them for a week. THis year was 100% better, the art was ggreat and the Temple was beautiful. It burned and carried a lot of heavy stones away forever, mine included.

We cannot wait for BM 2010 and will be there. I may have to temper that lasr statement as I will be 72 befor the Man burns again.

		<description><![CDATA[I was not there this year but am counting the days until Camp Big Love Defeet can save all of those over-exposed digits next year.  My husband and daughter were there, but there is no substitute for the real thing (although I&#039;m totally loving all the pix and stories).  I&#039;ll be there next year - even if I&#039;m dead.  (It is in my will that my ashes go up with the Temple as it burns).  Keep the spirit alive in all you do...peace]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first burn was one of the best weeks of my life.  It&#039;s still winging around in my dreams at night.
I&#039;d heard about Burning Man but didn&#039;t have the courage to buy a ticket until I was 66.  It was time to unlock the 60&#039;s kid still inside after all these years.  Packing and planning, setting up my own home-tent, hugging my new camp family, everything felt right, thanks to you.  It felt familiar and good because of all your website preptalk and background info, all your ongoing email guidance (thanks Jack Rabbit),  all the Tales From the Playa telling it like it was, all the easytofigureout clicks that highlighted all the amazing functions and philosophy needed to build Black Rock City.  Actually arriving was like walking into the pages of a favorite book.  HOWEVER, you forgot to mention the book has no ending in sight and is illustrated with flames and explosions. and yes, Dorothy, impossible to explain when you get home. 
TTITD was and is a gathering spot for us to create ever more important life adventures - mine and ours.

		<description><![CDATA[How was my burn? you ask . . . it was OUR burn, a collective effort presented by and touched by all in attendance, enshrouded in love, and transformed by the Source to new and magical illuninatory heights of perception, understanding, and love.  It was . . . simply undescribable by mere words.   Epic.  Magical.  Amazing.  Magnificant.  Awe-inspiring.  Mind blowing.  Transforming.  These words barely scratch the surface of how to describe this burn for me.  

I arrived without expectations and enjoyed nearly each moment on the Playa thouroughly, freely, and joyously.  Okay, that first major wind &amp; dust storm reduced me to tears, begging for home.  Other than that particular dark dredging moment into the depth regions of my soul . . . where I found new, strong survial skills abounding . . . I felt so at home on the Playa.  So free to expess my natural inclinations of joy and happiness to simply be alive living amongst my peers.  I have wondered since the 60&#039;s were all of you were!!!  The Playa and the community felt like &quot;Home&quot; as no other place on the planet I&#039;ve ever been.  

This year has been one of exploring my understanding of love.  Questions I&#039;ve asked myself since April have included:  what has love looked like in my past; what has it felt like; what have been my experiences with it; why has it betrayed me at times and pulled the rug out from under me; and more importantly, what are my ideals about it; what are my highest asperations that it could be; what is my personal truth about love.  Staying open to all conversations on the Playa was crutial for me this year.  One day I was sharing conversation with a man I met named Bob.  He was sharing about his life and he said three words that transformed my life.  He said, &quot;I need love&quot; and went on to share how he needed it and from whom he wanted it.  It immediatly awoke in me the realization that I was again facing one of life&#039;s major crossroads.  I was now faced with the choice of remaining hidden and safe behind a protective wall or burn down this wall I had constructed with intention protection.  It was at that moment I decided to risk it all and open the carefully hidden part of myself up once again and learn to love on a deeper core level.  It suddenly became okay for me to let go.  The was no longer any need for that wall to exist.  It was completely and utterly time to risk it all and begin loving again on a core level that I have never allowed myself to experience before.  I was suddenly free!  All from Bob&#039;s three simply words of I Need Love.  Thank you, my new Playa friend.  Your gift to me at the moment is priceless.

I love you all from the depths of my soul.  Until we meet again, I wish you peace.]]></description>
