Day 1 – Friday

I wake up on the hard desert floor. Nothing but a short carpet separating me from the dust. The chilled morning air fills my lungs and it feels like I have brand new body. Hep kitten (from placement team) is my waking alarm. I am delusional since I was up for 36 hours before and fell asleep 2 hours ago. She wants to place Glittercamp but is kind enough to let me sleep. I am able to understand that I need to visit the ranger station once I am awake.

On my second wake I go for my phone. But not only is it dead, but its locked in the truck and there is no reception. Relief flows over me since there is nothing I can do! It is good to be home.

I go over the the ranger station where I am told to take off my goggles and bandanna. Glitter gets placed and we tower with space over Tazi.

I setup two tents using the storage container for shade, one tent is just for food.

Jen visits the glitter camp to pickup a bike and rugs. We are invited to dinner with the documentary film crew. Brian and I stop in for delicious sting rolls and more. I chat shop with the crew.

That night I look for Kostume Kult friend Amanda. When I surprise her she tells me of the horrors of the days before. They had winds that took their kitchen like Dorothy. They held on to their living quarters for dear life while golf ball sized hail nailed them. Amanda and I look at the new art, the Man and the new blissful dance. I walk her back after showing my new home and trading massages.

Day 2 – Saturday
I wake up in complete silence. But the walls of my tent shutter with the heaven winds smashing it from all sides. I take out my earplugs and the violence rings out.

I find some tazi member sleeping on a couch on the other side of the storage container.

I ride around the outskirts of the city. Spotting my first full nude showering women I can’t help but think she might enjoy a hand.

beef stroughenough at the documentary crew

Sunday – Day 3 –

I look around the city for friends who I know the location of. I find none. But on my way back I find Yaya and Abi ! Pleasure to see those two!

I meet Thumper. He is my LNT officer. I let him know we are invited to dinner with Jen and the film crew. We enjoy a burrito dinner but on the way back, his bike tire goes flat and I walk with him home.

Monday – day 4 – I spend the morning at center camp getting text messages out to the default world. I manage to reach Bubbles, MM, and even make a call to Clayton.

I bike more around the building city.

When I get to camp Clayton and crew are there! So excited to see them.

We head out on our first night and our virgins have that experience that all virgins do when they reach the open playa for the first time.

Jumping on a art car and then jumping off since it was enclosed. We walk to the man but end up at a dance party where I see MM!!! He joins us on our adventure but we eventually lose him and his friend Eric. I don’t see MM the rest of the burn.

burning man is a bittersweet drug. I feel the highs and lows of a user addicted.

Tuesday – day 5
After a trip to black rock yearbook
We go to see Mikey and melanie play at center camp. Mikey’s performance blows my mind! He is incredible.

We bike around with Molly at night. I dance with a girl named Rachel at the slut garden. Drinking heavily we return home at a late time. Leah joins us and we breath midnight smoke. I enjoy her company.

Wednesday – Day 6 –

it is Clayton’s birthday and we have picknik at your own risk. The only missing elements are Janice and Jacob. But halfway though our meal they surprise us!!! It’s so good to see them. We are also joined by soon to be legend Cloud Strider! Cyclones surround us and Cloud strider gets on his bike to take one on. He gets to full speed and just as he is about to eu right into a cyclone another bike comes out the cyclone right at him. He tries to avoid collision but its to late. The two have an epic collision.

I near my return to Glittercamp after an adventure, seeing two girls that I think I recognize from behind. I slap Bubbles on the ass and say high to both Ariana and bubbles. They were walking to glitter camp to help with the glittering! I setup the ultimate playlist and mix the glitter.

I head out with the ultimate team, bubbles, Ariana, Clayton, Mandy, Eric, Leah, thumper and Melanie. My girls rock the glitter session topless. Leah dances and kisses me with passion.

I chill in the glitter box with 3 beautiful semi naked girls. I speed some glittered them and en we all lay down in a big cuddle puddle. We sensually massaging each other until I go to make sure we have a shower. I get in with Bubbles and Ariana. We wash each other off and dry in my tent since the sun is going down and the dry coolness fill the air.

We wait for Ariana and bubbles to return and Eric and I go out on bikes with them. Clayton and Mandy stay at camp since they had to many edibles. The while night we dance with the girls and return to their camp for a safety meeting. We leave and to stay warm I borrow the most brightest colorful jacket I have ever seen. While returning to our camp we lose Bubbles and Adriana who are suppose to return bikes.

Thursday – Day 7

I am the bee stinging – not on bikes.

I hang out with our neighbors B love And Sasha. B love is some of the best eye candy pouncing around in nothing but boy shorts. Shasha shows me a very sexy yoga move and then somehow I end up motor-boating her. It is a pleasure.

Dinner is proceeded by a Jewish ceremony. We listen from the start of the food line and get an awesome meal. The line is at least an hour long! There we see Bubbles and Ariana.

Tonight we eat fungi and join Janice and Jacob for cloud strider who is suppose to be bar-tending. After waiting in vain we

Friday – Day 8 –

I apply my daily sunscreen and I hear “can I get your back?” It’s Cherub!

Eric and ride to the temple.
Eric and i bike next to loudspeakers as we listen to the burning man art tour from a giant art car. We continue on to the temple. There I start to cry when I hear a women cry ” I can’t say goodbye because if I do it’s as if he’s gone forever”. I write in the temple “Melissa, 5 years later you are still with me here” I also write about my mother.
Eric tells me the temple is the most moving place he has ever been.

We then visit Favebook Like art, and blissful dance.

Our final destination is Fuck yeah lemonade. Where they yell fuck yeah in every sentence or statement. Great Lemoade Fuck yeah,

On the way home I run into Sadie’s , her mom and her moms bf. we pull cards of truth or dare. Sadie gets a card that someone must punch her in the face. She chooses her mom and while her mom goes to adjust Sadie’s terirra to prep for the punch her mom she surprises Sadie with a punch in sadies face. It is fantastic.

I get excited to do a day adventure with Leah. We visit a Zipline and a cool off machine. After chilling on a huge adult playground hammock 30 feet in the air I leave to prep glitter sessions.

I get a visit from Demotri who is awesome to see out there. My French friend Paul stops by at some point when I am sleeping and I never see him again sadly.

. Cherub arrives and with great time since it is time for Glitter initiation. He gives the best glitter prep talk.
“We are here to bring the beauty everyone has out! Who the best camp at burning man? Glittercamp!
The first rule of Glittercamp is there is no rules. The second rule is you can’t self apply!” We then proceed to glitter the newbies!

That night I try to meet-up with my playa romance from last year. Sadie. But she has had to much fungi herself. She won’t dance and sits on the side with her friends.

I find a cute german girl and dance with her while Sadie gets control. Then I see Sadie is gone. Without even a goodbye….

At lest this new Nanya is a fun dancer. She has me take off my shirt and then soon we leave the club losing all but one of her friends Ruby. Nanya and I lay in a dome as we eat some goodies and breath the smoke. Next Nanya and I are on the side of an art car hanging/dancing and grinding as we travel across the playa. The dance parties we arrive at next include fire dancers. We lose Ruby (to much my delight) and I start to run out of water.

Saturday – Day 9 – the Man burns

Durring the day I find the steam bath and get the courage to stand naked with total strangers. But first I wait for some cute girls to be in line in before me.
I get in the “locker room” and undress with 20 others. While waiting in line an naked Asian women walks in front of me a little close. The graze feeling is electric. I question if it was intended or not even more when she bends down in front of me and grazes me on her way up again.

I befriend calidascope (who i followed in line) and her gay friend. On the way in I also catch a glimpse of a cutie. We lock eyes as she takes off her shirt exposing herself.
Entering the steam room it is really dark, and full of naked people. On the way in calidascope can’t see anything and accidentally grabs me. the intense heat adds to the tension. Once our eyes adjust Calidascope and I stand on the mid table for a spray down. Next I find myself washing off her back. I give Calidascope a hug and she says “that’s the most action she’s gotten this week”. We make plans to meetup for the burn.

Glitter session goes awesome. One girl loves her rubdown and enjoys rubbing me down as well. Doing my legs she goes up and says “surprise”
On my way home she almost joins me for a shower.

We follow tyler to the man in an effort to join glittercamp’s front row seats. Leah lays down and puts her head in my lap. Then the man starts to burn.
I see an amazing couple right behind us, alec jarakin and janice. I had been looking forward to seeing them at the burn. Durring conversation I tell them next we rush the man.

I see people try to rush the man but push back by the rangers. I take my opportunity and rush pash the rangers. The few in the back I look at like football lineman. Rushing fist I get a huge adrenaline rush.

After Glittercamp assembles back at camp we spend time in tazi with Mikey giving another amazing performance.

Going out with the main team we can’t find good music to dance to. I lose the group and then can’t stop peeing! I would go, come out the porta potty, jump on my bike and need to pee again! This continued about 15 times. Still not finding any killer dance parties I return home happy to find Eric and Clayton.

We shroom ride to the deep playa and as we do the biggest dust storm of the week hits us. We have to stay within feet just to not lost each other. A pinpoint of light in the dark is our next destination. It ends up being a musical jet engine. One bb dropped into it makes a whole musical rhythm as it falls to the bottom. I grab a bunch and pour them in circularly making wonderful music in the dust.

Next we try to head to deep playa for sunrise. Not knowing were we are going we end up following an art cars wake.

The dust settling we reach the deep playa trash fence just as the earliest light bounces off the sky. Here at the far side of the city silence fills the air. I start to notice couples also scattered around waiting for the sun as well.

All of a sudden a horrendous noise come from behind us. I can only describe it as squeaky bike guy. His bike squeaks like no only and he goes up to couples in his highest gear and peddles like being chases by a bear. I am laughing my ass off with Clayton and Eric.

At a nearby art piece a guy offers magical stamps. we says yes…. then he offers lemonade juice boxes, and we give a BIG yes! We ask why he would offer the stamp first?
The sun breaks the horizon and
I drop some lemonade on the playa for cloud strider.

We stop by the bar that is out in deep playa. However they only have 1 beer. The guy with the beer offers us cigarets however Clayton ask him for a sip of the beer. We all enjoy a little beer at 1 beer bar. The bartender is hilarious and looks around for anything else he can serve. He offers a lighter among other useless things. At one point he searches and offers ice, however I am to slow to say yes as he dumps the ice on the playa.

We return home and have a safety meeting. I go out again to look for Claidascope. Having no luck I go to see if the steam bath is open…on my way home I see Bubbles up and we spend the morning together. we put on sun block and she tells me stories from the year, one story turns her on and I make a move. we then go to play huge Jenga but while she goes to pull out a wood brick the entire structure starts to topple. i go to protect her as best I can but her head is bombarded with heavy wood. She survives and I say my goodbye.
I return to camp at noon and go to sleep. Less than an hour after I do Calidascope visits and I help her break a long streak.

Then I am told we are leaving today. Right after the temple burn. I spend the rest of the day packing frantically. I even miss the temple burn since I am being rushed to pack before gp to the temples so we can leave right after.

Exodus is 12 hours.

Monday

I have a wonderful breakfast of avocado, home fries, eggs, toast, milk shake and bacon.

The hotel is sold out as well as every hotel in Reno but I have Clayton drop me off at e GSR anyways. I leave my bags with the front desk and go to the pool party. I am told i need to buy a ticket but soon after a girl calls me over and gifts me a ticket to the pool party!

At the pool. Siting in the hot tub i am massaging beautiful women and vice versa. Eventually some Canadian girls start getting topless and encourage all others to do the same. they all look amazing and I am lucky enough to give many hugs. Eventually security tries to get them to put user shirts back on but there girls are rebels. One just goes right in his face and flashes him repeatedly. He doesn’t want them to be dress but he is talk orders and asked nicely so the girls put their tops back on sadly.

once the pool closes. I try to sleep in a hallway but I am woken up buy security. I end up I the man lobby and a danish women ask me if I need a room, and if I share one with her. Looking to sleep I say yes! We share a room and I sleep alone in a clean bed for the first time in a while.
