……:::::: a tribute to D U S T ::::::…..

Let the dust transform you! Every experience you have out there is an opportunity for growth if you allow it to be. You will be bludgeoned to death by the beauty of humanity & all that is sacred in that surreal desert, every single day you are there covered in dust. Embrace it, love it, cherish it!

Cultivate the power that is in you to grow as a human being. Be the beautiful burners we all know we are. My love will be whispering in the wind to let go of all that you are. Open your mind to what you were always meant to be. Let your souls be free to dream & float away with the dust! My heart is with you in every single possible aspect & spirit my beloved dusty brothers & sisters! Miss you & love you tremendously BRC.

P.S. Have a roll in the goddamn dust for me! Will ya!

Much Love Always~
Disco Soldier

Bringing virgins to what sounds to be an epic fuck fest of dust in it on it inside it.
I dont feel bad about it………..not one bit…
Let not one sparkle pony be lost.
Give them food and shelter and drink.
And Love.

Olive oil for zippers?!?!? Please….you sound like the guys at the bachelor party that thought olive oil would be good for the strippers. I am going to go ahead and suggest a product that does not go rancid in the heat and sun……….perhaps the all-knowing and super-product called white vinegar. In a spray bottle it is your best friend during and after Playa. It’s the new Windex! Olive oil. Ha! Maybe some 30W Motor oil too. Super lube-ey! Please Wil, at least have someone proof-read “your” articles for content.

whoops. and it still comes in in glorious sheets and whirls. I love seeing people embellished by dust. Then there are the dusty titties. I really missed the dust in 2010. I love opening a drawer in May and finding a pile of dust that escaped the usual 10 cleaNINGS AFTER THE MAN. Damn dusty playa I’m comin home to see ya on Sunday!

I love the dust. I embrace the dust. I love to stand with my arms out as the devils overtake me and spin around. I love the way it filters through the roof at center camp. I have tried sealing all the cracks.. in my domicile with tape and caulking the hell out of the trailer.

maybe our toxin saturated bodies crave this alkaline environment… and those feelings of bliss and wonder could be a chemical reaction to the sand, both the PH and electromagnetic. just a thought, nothing to back it up. can’t wait to feel it myself… for the first time.

Dust?! Not a problem but an opportunity for the “French Maid Bigade.” With our (faux-feather) dusters we’ll have this place sparkling clean in no time.

On Monday of 2008, my wife and I were starting lunch in our just completed shelter as the dust storm started up big time. Just after toasting each other on how well prepared we were, we heard “Look out!” and “Here is comes!”. The walls of our structure lifted, ripping out our 3 foot rebar. My wife was blown sideways, along with her chair. I was in a papasan that was lifted off the playa and thrown over my shoulder with me still in it. Witnesses say I was 6 feet up and traveled 10 feet laterally before being face-planted on the playa. Jaw open. The wind took our shelter, now a large land sail, and dragged us 10 yards, wrapping the aluminum poles around us, until our neighbors stopped our slide. Jaw still open.

I was lifted off the ground by a dustdevil 25 feet wide. I bulldozed. Our shelter was ruined.

We went on to have a glorious time, made lifelong friends with the people who ran to our rescue, and now use steel poles for our structure. It made us appreciate all that can go right in a dustdevil. Might’ve been the best thing to ever happen to us at the Burn. See y’all there!

So why do I keep reading people picking on the newbies, when there are entire legions of veteran sparkle ponies whose battered remains we can look forward to peeling off the trash fence if the weather shows us some “condition alpha” love?

I am a newbie to BM and can’t get the whole time off work since I only just started the job a a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to get Wednesday to the following Monday off, during this whole time I will be at BM. I am traveling through North America at the moment and do not have a lot of money or things I can bring, but I do want to contribute and give something back. I can bring things to contribute to bars like lemons and limes, make little trinkets, hand out lip balms, help out people who need a hand with their camp, things like that. Is there anything else I could do? Would love to be able to get there earlier, but not all of us have such flexibility.
