Ok, I went to burning man and what I learned is that I love my wife more than anything. And I learned that hooking up with someone, even if you have permission, is not as easy as it sounds.

I truly look forward to every word you write, it’s the connection to “family” and the place we all trek to year after year, even if we say “we’re done” the dust, it’s in our blood, a life force. and you breathe life into it, all, with your writings.. THANK YOU for that…. see ya in the dust, very soon….

My wife and I have been together for 13 years and I will be going to Burning Man for the first time this year, alone. She wants to go, but with a 3 year old daughter, one of us must stay home. With this going to be the longest we have ever been apart, I am looking forward to the opportunity to get to know myself better, and hope that at the same time I can learn how to be a better husband and father. I am going to use this experience to strengthen our relationship, even if she can’t be there. Sounds kinda weird, but I think it will work out. She has also given me permission to “do what (who) I want” while I’m on the Playa. I love my wife and I can’t wait to love her more.

Just want to comment on the playa being good and bad for couples. My current girlfriend and I started to get close during preperation for burning man in 2007 and by the end of the week we were near inseperable. Now its 2010 and we are still together with very few bumps along the way, I cant wait to be out on the playa with her once again! I think this place could tear flimsy couples apart, but take a strong willed, like minded couple and put them out there and the bonds may only strengthen! Just rambling a bit, but its hard not to with the event so close!

Wow,

I don’t know what else to say…I’m a BM Virgin. This will be my first year there.
I’m excited to go but am also intimidated. I don’t know what to expect. I hear nothing but praise about the event. But..it’s like stepping into the unknown.
I hope to be there by Tuesday of the event.
Thanks for the great blogs..Keep up the great work.

Your reflections upon the playa are like a calming balm upon my otherwise stressful life. Thank you so much. Being unable to de-virgin myself this year (due to a really tough divorce), these notes and pictures only inspire me to work harder towards my goal of getting to the Man next year.

People of Jewish faith use a phrase regarding their homeland; “Next year in Isreal!”.

Mine is “Next year on the Playa!”

Many, many thanks and keep the updates coming!

crumbly crunchy playa?
white outs?
rain?
intense heat?
high winds?

we will brave that and more.

NOTHING CAN STOP US FROM RETURNING HOME.

John Curley, you are our lifeline to the source right now.
Thank you.

This is a great way to be part of building the city without getting in the way. The pics will be in my head when I arrive to begin my journey. Great writing! I can’t wait to come home.
