Sadly nothing lasts forever, even the relatively good behavior of the burners.
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS! SOMEONE HAS TO GO AND RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
What this jack-monkey doesn't get is that burners will be further galvanized toward love and hope by this action, and even more people will be there next year.
I am sure fully half of the burners are like "What? what happened? I was totally dripping glow stick juice on my lobster car, what did I miss?!". This has no affect on them except to make for some fun rumors. Nice try saboteurs!
I must let you know I had a dream about being at Burning Man and it was super realistic. All I did was wander the desert looking for water and toilet paper. No, I know it is really fun and crazy and lots of people have a really great time. It is just not for me, as I am waaaaay more uptight than I pretend to be especially about washing my hands and not dying of dehydration.
One again a tangential rant about nothing gets in the way of my true purpose: FAC!!!!!!!!
I already know who is coming to FAC. I already know where we are going. So do you. If you are coming, you know it, and if you are then you know where it is. I won't bore the rest of you with the details. (Me, Luke?, Steven, AA @ Surfside 4:30ish -- you should join us!)
BUT YOU NEVER KNOW -- last week we ended up at Old Chicago! We could go anywhere! We are a bunch of wild and crazy guys (and gals). So show up for the complete randomness of it all.
I will bore you with some news of upcoming events:
No FAC for me on the 14th of September. I have to bartend. SOOOOOOOOOOOO if you want you can come to where I am bartending and have FAC with me as your surly bartender! How awesome is that!?
TRIVIA is still going on Friday at 8, at Choice City Shots!!!! I give away cool prizes and I am almost this funny in person! Come on down, bring your friends! Don't be afraid of the gay bar!
