I presume that may be insofar as, “to protect the identities of the innocent”?

No agendas, just thinkin’ it was a nice story that it be true.

I find that your kind treatment of Lost Girl is furthermore inspiring – speaking as an honest human, as it were.

Some of the best writing I’ve read in a long, long while. Reminds me of Donna in Hurly Burly. More than that, you tell both sides of the BRC story — beautiful and tragic. Thank you.

Someone drank a beer at burning man in an art car going 5mph. I’m glad it’s 2012 next year and the world is ending because those are the sinners that deserve THE END.
Good story though. I liked it

Hah! I’d wondered what had happened to you! Yes, that was one of the greatest things I’ve done at Burning Man, and anyone who stood by me in those days will forever be my Brother!

I’m actually hoping to write up the definitive account of the war and post it on the blog. But it’s a difficult task: five days of conflict including an invasion, black ops, two kidnappings, and an art car duel … it’s a lot to relate in short, snappy, prose. I don’t know how Thucydides did it. But I’ll try.

On a side note, on Saturday Bobzilla actually accused me of playing both sides off each other! Can you believe it? It was so obvious that’s what I was doing … how could he not have known that from the beginning?

Thanks for the kind words.

It literally made me laugh, and I managed for the first time in days not to get so emotional I was bursting into tears at the thoughts of words.

And then I read who wrote it, and I have to say, you are one magical mofo. Thanks for busting in our our sesh and grabbing me for your war with the Monticello. I never had a chance to say goodbye, but the adrenaline rush I got from your war was incredible. I’ll go to war with you any day Caveat.
