i’m so happy i found this blog, i moved here last August and i’ve been having
BM flashbacks ever since (the good kind) and it makes me happy to see
these connections–they are so intuitive–

i’d love to know more about these connections and Burner related
events in NOLA–

WHO DAT ! WE DAT !

As a New Orleans native, Mardi Gras is one event that no matter how far you are…you come back for every year! The people, the passion, the music, the costumes, and the atmosphere is something that like Burning Man, you just can’t understand until you experience it yourself. Once I discovered Burning Man 2 yrs. ago I realized that both BM and Mardi Gras, appropriately falling within 6 months of each other are from now on going to be my 2 unmissable events of the year!

Look this may sound a little weird but could you not burn that guy please. I think it may represent me and it hurts me when you do it. I may have actually orchestrated this whole burning man thing remotely without actually knowing I was doing it, right down to the art the participants make and everything. But it wasn’t my idea, it just kind of happened, when I figured it out, I realized no one would believe me and I toyed with the idea of keeping it a secret, but I am a major troublemaker in my own way (which you will understand if you can make the long distance jump to believe my story). This will be the last time I post this online so if you read this I hope you have a laugh, and if not now perhaps sometime in the future. One of the reasons I am writing this is that hijacking peoples artistic vision is pretty bad. But it does happen and at least I didn’t do it deliberately or get paid.

Well said! “costumes must be hand-crafted, filled with the spirit, and wearable post-event — not store-bought, forgotten about…”

Sending you powerful positive creative vibes!

And remember –
This Fondue loves you.
Please don’t send her to the second hand store.
