Hey Goofs… I’m back!
First a big apology for being so far behind on updating the blog, it’s been almost a month, and that’s a long time, in my defense, I’ve been super busy.   First, there was Burning Man (more on that below),   then when I returned a few weeks ago, it still took a few […]

 
Hey Goofs..
Wow it’s been a busy busy busy week,  I realize the Blog is way out of date, and once again I appologize,  however my life has been insane.  Last week I had my final day at work, and had a ton of projects to wrap up,  and then as soon as the weekend hit, […]

The first year I attended Burning Man (1998), I rented a huge RV and drove to my friends’ camp to the far north of city center arriving just after midnight on Wednesday. What an astonishing sight! I will never forget those first hours, listening to Bolero waft out from one camp, while from another […]

Another great possibility for Burning Man.

Last December the iconic La Contessa, one of the most impressive art cars ever to sail the desert at Burning Man, was burned to a crisp by arson.
I initially reported on it here.  
Now, the full story is out.  Who burned it?   The owner of the land where it was […]

In 2002, a new Ship arose out of the desert at Burning Man, it was…

La Contessa!
Unfortunately it has succumbed to arson, I’m not sure where it was “parked” it looks like it might be the Burning Man ranch, or somewhere near Black rock in Northern Nevada.

I hope they catch the bastards, and then maybe…someday…
La Contessa […]

If you ever wanted to know what this Burning Man thing is about, and why I’m so crazy about it, turn on the volume, sit back, and watch.

Tonight the Man Burns at Burning Man, and a new year begins. It’s been a wonderful week out here in the desert, well, at least I think it has, as I’m writing this 8 days before this comes online, but let’s just assume it went well.
I should be returning in a in […]

If all has gone according to plan, I should be into my 4th day at Burning Man right now, perhaps even nursing a hang-over from the Sangria and Quesadea party at Lamp Lighters last night.
So what is this Burning Man thing about?
The best way I can describe it in one sentence..
It’s 1/3 Dr. Suess, […]

Finally the day has arrived, after spending all morning and afternoon doing last minute packing, I’m off to Burning Man!
Goofyblog will be in a semi-hibernation state while I’m gone. Comments have been turned off to prevent the spammers from running amok, and the articles will not appear as often.
Restless and I have queued […]
