Thank you Halcyon. Eloquent, from the heart, honest, supremely helpful.
Best live expression of the Burning Man spirit I’ve heard. I ended up, I have
no idea why, with tears in my eyes.

We love you Halcyon. I normally am not interested in video streaming and prefer to read text, but I have actually found your podcasts quite helpful. You have information that is useful for both virgins and experienced Burners.

@Papatua: I go the t-shirt and cargo shorts routine myself. Makes so much sense!

RE: Costumes, Being Oneself, and The Hostility That Sometimes Ensues When Discussing These Topics

Although I would LOVE to wear lingerie, furry boots, and massive false eyelashes in the “Default World” they’re extremely inconvenient while chasing my four young children and actually inappropriate for teaching my music classes. Civilian clothes in no way stop my freak flag from flying wide and high, but Black Rock City is the place where my dreams come alive. Part of that translates to wearing very little clothing, dancing my ass off round the clock, and loving (in word or deed) as many people as humanly possible. If cargo shorts and tee shirts were part of making my dreams a reality, that’s what I’d wear. If clothes meant nothing to me, I might walk around naked. The spirit of the burn is not dictated or dependent on outfits or costumes, but there is only ONE Black Rock City and the dress code there is Where What You Wish. Better to pave the way with love and kindness not sarcasm and intolerance, especially with so many virgins on board. We were all young once. Fucking play nice already.

I decorated a trash stick that I bought at my local Super Home Wal Box Mart and brought it to the playa. Not only was it turned into functional art, it sure saved me alot of bending over as I walked around the playa on moop patrol. Buy the sticks with the squeezable handle and functioning jaws, they work the best. Tie a bag to your waist with the opening of your bag held open with a cirular shaped coat hanger taped to the inside (the bag opening will twist closed when you walk otherwise).Use your imagination as you decorate it up and I encourage everyone to do this; creativity and company make mooping alot of fun plus it is a great way to meet people! Oh yea before I forget, LEAVE THE FEATHERS AT HOME!!! They are a bitch to clean off the playa…

@Joe – Thank you! That is a “pothos” I think! While not on the Playa, I cherish plants. ;)
