Burning Man 2010 - Monday
First we unloaded bikes at The Dump. I was considering staying there 'cause it's centrally located, but Dawn's camp (the Triceratops art car) was much closer to 4:30 & Baghdad (Camp Suckie Fuckaye - not a sex-themed camp) and Dutch & Sara & Doc were all excited to stay there. Plus, Andi & Michael & Chris & Jermany & Blake & Ben & lots of others were there.
We drove from the Dump, around a bit to Suckie Fuckaye. I did handstands on top of the bus, which I wouldn't have guessed to be as possible as it was. I also did a few tricks with Sara, and held Doc in a couple of Arm to Arms. Then we rolled into camp and unloaded.
Doc set up a supercamp. He had 4 huge canopies that we put under the existing shade fabric, leaving us deliciously shaded. It took a long time to set up, but it was worth it - our camp was one of the most comfortable I saw at BRC.
Our camp had a bunch of fire performers. Many of them are strippers, so our camp was chock-full of high-gravity eye candy. It was pretty cool. Most of them are a little cool and distant toward me, but certainly not unfriendly in any way. Some of the camp was really welcoming and friendly. Overall I felt quite at home, and I wouldn't have camped anywhere else in retrospect. I'm very glad I was at Suckie Fuckaye.
Just as we were finishing up our camp it began to rain. It was one of the most incredible things I saw there - dozens of uber-prepared people who'd covered every base but this one, staring at the rain in dusty, stunned amazement with a "WTF!?" look. Some people got pretty damped up, but most of us had minimal impact from the rain.
It dried out pretty quickly, but the first night was still muddy and repressed, which was fine by me. I stopped by Dawn's camp briefly and saw her, and then I felt like I was finally settled and present and ready for my burn. I wandered a bit, and ended up at Dawn's camp with her. I got a pretty good night of sleep by my baby's side - it was an excellent first day and night.
