Album: 08-29 Burning Man

     Album:2010:08-29 Burning Man

A busy year for me.

Evidently when you are unemployed, then you work on your vacation.

This year I ran a theme camp and ran two art projects, Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots and Bike Jousting.

And it was great, but I tire of trying to inspire other people to do work at Burning Man, so I am going back to my tried and true anti-social method of doing projects that are sized for one person.
