"We no longer need to go to heaven.
Heaven has wisely come all the way down to earth."
- Diana Trimble, "Sacred Uproar," BRC'2001
Went to Burning Man.
Words can never describe it.
I brought the
Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots
I had a good time.
Didn't take a lot of photos, and I lost some, but here they are.
