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.
