Burning Man

369--Nevada: Burning Man Yacht Club
@ CherieSpotting Sep 14 2006 - 09:19 PST

The 13 founders of Burning Man Yacht Club in the Black Rock Desert 2006.

cherie writes: The desert-loving sailors joined more than 38,000 other "burners" in an annual festival called Burning Man from Aug. 28 to Sept. 4, 2006. For one week sailors chugged grog while land-yachts floated across Nevada's mirage dusted horizon like prehistoric ships.

The Burning Man Yacht Club founders wore traditional blue blazers while handing out sailor hats and yacht club membership cards to new members. Yacht Club Founders include: Owen, Greg, Eric, Eva, Brian, Rennie, Anne, Kari, Randy, Dustin, Karem, Cherie & Steve.

368--Nevada: Burning Man--The Waxlax Wedding
@ CherieSpotting Sep 14 2006 - 06:56 PST

After over a decade of dating, Rennie and Anne tied the knot. We re-created the ceremony at Burning Man with silk boxers for the groom and a thrift-store bought wedding dress for the bride.

cherie writes: For Rennie and Anne, marriage wasn’t about tradition. After dating for over a decade, the happy couple got married in Las Vegas in private ceremony for two on June 17th.

To commemorate this event, we recreated the Waxlax wedding on the playa at Burning Man. Rennie, the groom, was dashing in his pink sequence bow tie and silk boxers. A few ladies (Cherie, Karem, Eva & Kari) slipped into old prom dresses and helped Anne into her thrift-store wedding gown bought for $8. (Bridemaids who joined us in spirit were Char, Jean and Margaret!)

The desert wedding was filled with traditions such as the bridal bouquet toss and a ride into the sunset on a purple dinosaur. As Richard Bach said: True love stories never have endings.

323--Nevada: Burning Man 2005, Prepare to Burn
@ CherieSpotting Sep 21 2005 - 02:52 PST

You need a U-Haul to carry all those crates of crazy costumes up to the Black Rock Desert for Burning Man. *Photo by Rennie Waxlax.

cherie writes: Planning for Burning Man is an essential part of the journey. Like life, much of the joy of Burning Man lies in the anticipation and remembrance of the event. You only live Burning Man for a week, but you anticipate it all year long and remember it forever.

Our Camp brings a U-haul full of carpet, couches, chairs and bikes out to the Black Rock Desert. We stuff that U-haul full of crates of priceless clothing (that you wouldn’t pay more than a dollar for.) And you can’t help but smile at the labels on the bins of funky mismatched clothes.

Contents of one Burning Man clothing bin: Lizard hat, prom dress, fishnet stockings, flamingo earrings, cookie-monster skirt, purple leather pants, red vinyl dress, thigh-high boots, zebra-skirt, pink hair, etc.

322--Nevada: Burning Man 2005, Lessons Learned.
@ CherieSpotting Sep 20 2005 - 01:46 PST

The First Lesson I learned at Burning Man 2005: Never climb a tower in platform boots and a prom dress. *Photo by Margaret.

cherie writes: Top 30 Lessons Learned at Burning Man 2005
1. Never climb a tower in platform boots and a prom dress.
2. Don't use the bathroom if the guy that just went in has crabs.
3. Never handle a stuffed-animal unless you know where it has been.
4. Always follow the doctor's orders.
5. If someone asks you if you want Tri Tip and a beer bong, say "yes".
6. Adding water to a slip-and-slide in the desert does not make the ground any softer.
7. Mirrors do lie.
8. Being lost can be a good thing.
9. If the course description says: Advanced Pole-Dancing, believe it.
10. Keep your clothes handy in case a monster attacks your camp.

321--Nevada: Burning Man 2005, A Critical Ride
@ Site News Sep 18 2005 - 11:14 PST

Jean and Cherie go on Burning Man's most critical bike ride.

cherie writes: Each year thousands of women gather together to ride through the Black Rock Desert to honor our femininity, celebrate our freedom, and admire the beauty of the human form.

Alice Walker said: "It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower is to bloom."

Here are the photos of the most critical ride of the year--the Critical Tits Bike Ride 2005. Prepare to celebrate life.

320--Nevada: Burning Man, Alice goes to Weirdland
@ CherieSpotting Sep 16 2005 - 01:46 PST

Alice (Margaret) and her Tea Party (Cherie) meet a giant Cheshire Cat at Burning Man.

cherie writes: Come with Alice and take a peek into the world of Burning Man. This awe-inspiring festival is a place where magic and myth collide. It’s a place where Alice (Margaret) and her Tea Party (Cherie) can find a giant Cheshire cat willing to drive them around Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.

Burning Man is outlandish and eccentric, funky and freaky, kooky and spooky. It’s a place where dreamers are awake and fantasies are real. Burners are bizarre, wacky, comical and amazingly ridiculous. See what happens when adults unleash their creativity.

319--Nevada: Burning Man 2005, Dancing in the Desert
@ CherieSpotting Sep 14 2005 - 03:21 PST

Let me go on...like a Twister in the sun.

cherie writes: At Burning Man you can get lost at the Deep End, tempt yourself at the “Muffin and Lingerie” party, consume all your protein at Camp Bacon, and then celebrate Christmas early with 200 Santas in the Black Rock Desert. If you need a quick workout, try finding a guy that’s wearing the game Twister! To burn every more calories—dance your heart out!

If you dance everyday, you won’t gain an ounce from all those chocolate muffins and greasy bacon strips. Constanze said that, “Dancing is like dreaming with your feet.” Burning Man celebrates extreme self expression and in the Black Rock Desert you can dance from dawn ‘til dusk. As Edwin Denby put it, “There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good.”
