Post-soccer we climb the bus

..and watch the sunrise.

..which is always better
on the Playa

Our town, packed in
like sardines this year, thanks to the theme camp placement team. [photo Glenn]

We find a sleeping wanderer
in our camp. He finally awakes to shake the Town Elder's hand and proclaims, "I thought I was on an art car"

Crude Awakening
was a 90' climbable oil rig with 20' scrap metal statues around the base.
Looking up past
a statue's head.
Another statue This was one of my favorites. A shrine
before the temple. [photo Cooper]
And Big Rig Jig,
holy cow.
..which you could climb inside
up to the top.
Haley watches the Sunrise
through the cab.
..As do I. Smoke rings
on the playa again.
Crude Awakening
in the morning sunrise
And capturing the sun. While Haley relaxes
on the Playa.
We climb to the top
and look down on BRC. This is the 2:00 deep end, you can actually see our neighborhood right above the tripod looking thing at the corner.
At this moment in time,
in my Ogre boots, I am the highest man on the Playa (not counting substance use)
Looking down at the statues. Haley's favorite. And out comes a rainbow,
from U.S.D.A... [photo Cooper]
..to the man. A beautiful sculpture,
reminiscint of "Flock"
The temple,
rainbow hit.
Out on the playa
An industrial treehouse

We found the marker
for where they thought they were going to place the Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots. They clearly did not read the Art Installation Application. This is a few thousand feet from our camp. That's a lot of extension cords.
Glenn fights the sculpture
[photo Glenn]
We didn't run the robots
(despite new faces!), but Haley consoles them.
The Blue Bomber
surveys the scene, disappointed about not running (and not getting kissed by Haley) [photo Cooper]
An exhausted Town Elder
takes a comfort moment with some chocolate milk. [photo Cooper]
The other Town Elder
is permanently shiny. [photo Cooper]
I get to wear my motorized
disco-ball outfit..
And I bring the disco
to the Black Rock Roller Disco
They needed a little disco-lift Danny placates his captain
with Mango and Sticky Rice, a moment reminiscent of how he earned the name "Mango Boy" back in 2001.
Dance Dance Immolation.
Like DDR, but..
..when you screw up
you get blasted with fire.
We run into a silver man,
covered with mirrors.
And then it's time for Random Hug Patrol! The Robots,
show off their new faces. [photo Glenn]
Some of the crew
(that's Bryson, the superhero) [photo Glenn]
