Great to see you finally managed to get rid of those pesky lovehandles, loop.

Well, that place looks nice and strange. And Isolde looks nice and ... phwoooarrrr!!!!!!

Looks amazing!

I have friends in Lake Tahoe who drive to...Reno???...and watch all of the sculptures being brought in. They tried to go several years back, but the horrendous rains (or was it a dust storm?) kept them from actually participating. They ended up getting lost and drinking with a bunch of 70 year olds in a trailer park. Must say your experience looks and sounds 100 times better!

Congrats on staying on your path!

lo0p,

Please cook breakfast for me.

Oh, and the pictures are great, especially the last one. ;-)

ps Actually, I am amazed at the magnitude of what they do there, especially ensuring it is cleaned up afterward. That is a feat in its own right.

I think some of the pics got deleted already. I just wanted to say, Isolde you are beautiful. And LoOp, you aren't too shabby yourself, but you might know this already. :H Looking at them I could see the love...And Burning Man looks amazing. I researched it a little last night, I had never heard of it before. It sounds like an experience of a lifetime. Thank you for sharing this with us.

LoOp, thanks for sharing your awesome pics.

Is - you are a beautiful woman and I'm so very happy for you (and LoOp too ) getting free of the beast so you can truly savor this time in your life!

(I'm not even sure how old you are but I doubt you have been 29 nearly as long as I have! :H)

I know!! Looks damn good doesn't it? It was!

This is one that Is and I missed. We'd heard about it and finally saw it on the last night, but we were manning a pirate ship that was taking kids and their families from Kidsville to and from the Temple burn. So we never got to see it in action.


By day I guess it just looked strange. I wonder if people figured out what it was supposed to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_FvAOVt2ng&feature=related[/video]]Peter Hudson's Charon

It takes six people pulling the ropes that are on both ends in order to get it spinning fast enough to start the strobe effect.

Sometimes I wonder (she gets whistles and winks all the time), but then when Is and I walk through the gay district at Burningman to go to the Pink Gym (the only gym I've found on the playa) I get plenty of affirmations and ego boosts!

Hi guys,

Loop and Is, you both look so healthy and fit, and happy. I'm so pleased for you. And thanks for posting the pics. I have a really good friend who tells me I'd like BM, but I'm not so sure between the raging sun (I have tons of skin cancer) and the young beautiful people, not sure I could cut it.

[Lo0p]

She definitely is healthy, fit and happy! I'm just happy she makes me look so damn good standing next to her!!

She has really sensitive skin too, hence the SPF rated umbrella (parasol) she's sportin'.

Seriously people, check out the youtube links I posted up there...it's amazing!

You're killing me, you know. Last summer when I was drunk, miserable, completely conflicted--unable I thought, to take bac because of the SEs--I glommed onto you. Your absolute willingness to share your whole self helped me more than you know. Anonymity sucks when one is scared and paranoid.
I swore then that Eric and I would get to Burning Man this year and meet you in person. Not idle dreams, I think we'll make it some day. But definitely off with the timing.
Thanks again for sharing, Lo0pster. You guys make a remarkably handsome couple. xo

Last Summer? Really?! That's it? Doesn't it seem like so long ago now? I feel like I've already lived a lifetime since I've been cured!

Here is a picture of Black Rock City taken by the GeoEye satellite on Sep. 1st with a population somewhat higher than 50,000 people:
