One of the wonderful things about early arrival and staying late at Burning Man – is that you get to experience a more complete evolution of this temporary city. Each day at Burning Man has a different energy as the population rises and falls. Prior to gate open, you know that everyone around you at […]
Life on the Road
Virgins at Burning Man
Three years ago, I was a Burning Man virgin. However, I disappointed Chris – as Black Rock City simply and immediately felt like home. I wasn’t awestruck and in need of acclimation or transformation. I took to it like a fish in water.. err.. dust. I was meant to be here. He explained to me […]
Pre-Burning Man Thoughts
As we go through the annual ritual of preparing our home to drive into the dusty playa, my mind is buzzing with thoughts of anticipation and trepidation. This will be my 3rd Burning Man, and Chris’s 9th. Each time I have been to Burning Man, it has been a true temporary location to park my […]

What if Peter Pan had a blowtorch? City Museum!
We’re often asked what our favorite things are in our travels. The City Museum in downtown St. Louis, Missouri is without a doubt, on tops of that list. And who would have thought that in the center of the midwest stands one of the most amazing creations around? The City Museum is no ordinary museum, […]

Using a combination of the WordPress widget QuickFlickr, a Flickr account and a free iPhone app called ‘Flickr Sendr’ – we have added a new feature to our blog – our current office view! So now we will update our office view regularly (which may be where we’re currently parked, visiting or shots from the […]
