Well, the eclipse happened
Aug. 31st, 2007 08:06 pmDue to "playa time", my special patterns were not running on the L3K ring (around the Man) during the eclipse. I even made a point of staying up and heading out to the Man to check.
However, I don't think *anyone* *else* noticed.
It was both awesome and horrifying.
Awesome because, damn, after years of joking about it, someone finally burnt the Man early.
Horrifying because I could already see Jon Stewart's facial expression upon reporting that someone at *Burning Man* got busted for Arson. And hear a thousand cynics who'd never even attend smugly declare the event past its prime.
Meanwhile, wind, rain, and rainbows. (And a brand new Man). I had total event burn-out yesterday. Today, I got my first flight in a small (4-seater, Cesna?) plane. Things are much better now.
