412: Nevada: Burning Man 2007 Flashback @ CherieSpotting     Jul 25 2008 - 09:08 PST cherie writes: How should you spend a day at Burning Man? Should you drive around in a rat car or play Misty Twister? Should you gulp your coffee out of a giant’s mug or go play with the penguins on the playa? How’s the weather? Should we fly over Burning Man in Greg’s plane or prepare our camp for the next sandstorm? Should we climb a tree, search for truth or just let the day unfold and see what interesting characters walk into our camp?

Who else is ready for a sail through the Black Rock Desert in Nevada? Our "Welcome Home" sign as we pull into Burning Man 2008. Lisa's smile says it all. We have arrived. We took Karem's Yukon and pulled a trailer of Burning Man "non-essentials". Hallie, celebrating her first Burn, rings the "bell" at the entrance. My that's a big elephant you have Mr. Greeter. Greg lands his plane in the Black Rock Desert and then "backpacks" to camp. Lisa, I think it's time to get pink. A morning bike ride. Cherie with the Temple. Swing low. Fun, exercise or both? Stop monkeying around. Now that's a big rat. The Temple in the morning light. Every day should start with a big cup of Joe. Why not bring your boat over to the Burning Man Yacht Club? Where is the bra that goes with this camp? Here's the giant bra...but it's from Burning Man 2006. The Barbie Death Camp (and Wine Bistro.) Our camp in 2008. Shade structure compliments of Greg. Lisa is full of color. Karem and Dean...where it all started. Do you wish you could fly with stained-glass wings? Inside a box in the middle of the desert, was an entire world of funky red sparkly things. Cherie, Karem and Lisa. Being silly with mirrors. Penguins in the desert. Cherie and her cool new friends. Time to play with blocks! Give me a "T"! This is MY burn. It's always important to have perspective. The desert rave. Lisa enjoys the shade. Karem gives the drums a whack. Time to make the monkeys move. The temple. Don't build your castle out of sand. Cherie and Greg. Getting ready to fly in Greg's "experimental" Long-EZ. Prepare for take-off. Burning Man 2008, from the air. Hey...I think I see our camp! It's the one with the funky shade structure. Just another day at Burning Man. Riding down the street. Lisa all dolled up in pink. Greg gets the ball rolling. Steve with Playa Art. Randy peeks behind the glittery swirl. Dragon's breath. Walk through the mirror. The Temple in the distance. Closer. Even closer. Graffiti or art? How'd they get that truck up there? Who wants to climb inside? The sunrise is always spectacular. Pyramids at dawn. Burners cheer as a new day begins. Black Rock City. Desert life. Create your own caption for this photo. Always tell the... So then there was this massive purple spiral thread thingy. Retro. The Gong Show is back. Living in a tree house. What a great place to have a birthday party! Lisa in the morning. The man. He burned twice in 2008. Lisa gives out "Non-Monogamy Advice." (Cherie doesn't take it because Lisa is "lonely" and "not a doctor.") When they go back to "real life", where do they put the cage? Paul, the man who burned the Man. All you need is two friends and one umbrella. In the Black Rock Desert, BYOS (Bring your own shade!) Even vehicles have their own "umbrella." The haunted mansion.
