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 […]

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 […]
Preparing for Burning Man
Yesterday we repositioned to Sacramento, where we keep our Burning Man specific gear in a storage unit. Last night, we swapped out most of our reality camp clothing for playa wear. With limited closet space, we can’t carry both around. Over the next few days, we need to: Procure bikes, as we left ours down […]
Camp Nomadia – Burning Man Theme Camp for Nomads!
In 2008 we had an idea: A Burning Man theme camp for nomads… a camp that would take the Welcome Home!’ greeting to a new level. A neighborhood of folks who would attend Burning Man as part of their normal traveling lifestyle, and not as a break from fixed life in one location. Camp Nomadia […]
Burning Man: Our Own Theme Camp
One of the things I had marked as having room for improvement post-Burning Man last year about my experience was my camp situation. We ended up camped on the perimeter of a camp of people where we only knew a couple of folks. There was no common theme to bring people together, and towards the […]
Art of Burning Man 2008
I just posted a number of pictures from Burning Man 2008. You can view them on Flickr. Here I’ll highlight a few of the art pieces. I really didn’t find a lot of the art this year to be very ‘wow’ – and from reading reviews of Burning Man elsewhere, apparently it wasn’t just me. […]
Burning Man: Burn Night
Our intentions for Burn night: – Have a more formal commitment ceremony at our camp at sunset, with our campmates and friends as witnesses (last year, it was completely private between Chris and I). – Walk to the Man in our magnificent wedding gear that created for us. – I would wear stuff under my […]
RV Hacks: Travel Photo Library Management Tip and a New Book!
Once you’ve been on the road a while, you inevitably start to accumulate a ton of photos. And not all of them blog worthy shots. In fact, some of them might be downright awful. Like those shots of inside your pocket, blurry attempts at capturing a rainbow, or hundreds of photos trying to capture your […]
Travel Plans: Next couple of weeks
On Monday morning we will hitch up after having had the landing pads down for a few months in the San Francisco area. We’ve had a wonderful time immersing ourselves in community, building friendships and doing all the things that we love about the area. Being able to be somewhere for several months at a time has been wonderful and more our pace than being constantly in motion.
Being nomadic, after all, does not mean having to always be on the move.
Our general plan for the next couple of months is to head south than east, arriving in Austin by late April and St. Louis by Mother’s Day. And then back in the Bay Area by mid-August for Burning Man.
