h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

For the next days I will invest my time less in HooToo and more in the observation of a community being build out in the Nevada desert.

This may not be their idea behind the event, that is by not participating in the event I would be a spectator. Well I will make and burn my own work of art made out of tooth picks and broken clothes pegs.

They manage to build a city in less then two weeks, populate it with some 60 thousand Burners, then take over a month to remove the MOOP.

Some may think it is a hippie commune, some may think it is about sex drugs and rock and roll. I think it is about opening your mind and making room for new experiences, new concepts. To expect the unexpected, but you have to be able to allow anything to happen.

I do not have the money to participate nor the courage I think. I do know in some aspects I would love the experience, 'Share and Enjoy', being in a desert and in reflex having made enough preparations. (Mr Baden-Powell is not unknown to me.)

I do remember a summer with an ongoing beach party for more then a month. Playing a drive out and having an apple ready as excuse for the barbecue during the endless nights at the beach.

"it is about opening your mind and making room for
new experiences, new concepts. To expect the unexpected, "
exactly! all kinds of everything... and anything...

Traveller in Time listening to BMIR
"It would indeed be something you would appreciate

'Rainbow tutu plaza giving performance at 9 o'clock and D' (On the radio while I read your message)."

I felt really... odd this morning... and so stuck on some headphones... and tried something new; just white noise.... and breathing... - totally zenned/blissed out - I seem to have cracked an sort of really odd type way of 'meditating' by... well, ways that just seem to work for me - mind, I've a suspecion all the drugs in my body from the Drs and nurses, are probably adding into it all a little bit, right now now just struggling to be awake/conscious enough to actually do some useful stuff, like finishing off laundry and maybe starting to think about cooking something for s dinner - its all taking a lot longer than useual, but I'm doing it in a kinda half 'stonned' sort of state of ... calm zen-ness - oddly, my useual way to zen out, and bliss out, and meditate, involves deafening myslef with ultra loud rock, metal or electornica music, via headphones... just... seems to work dfor me somehow, I think its to do with altering brainwave patturns/firing rates, or something

Traveller in Time glad to read most Journals
"Will not interrupt the flow though.

Good to hear it is 'only' a 'boil/cyst' Bet you do not really require the additional antibiotics. As far as your body goes it is just another hit . Keep your sanity as it is most usefull

Eating alkaline dust (metaphorical)"

I'm getting more relaxed about some of the newer more weird bits of my mind!; I know they're just weidness of druggs in my system, which helps, so I can kinda like today, just walk about the hospital, then home, utterly not living existing in the real world; sort of head in a swmingpool of treacle whilst we came home then just slept for hours! My insanity is probably the only think keeping me saine - that and the boxes of pengines in my head still wish they'd take you off this sill pre mod thing, just seems... stupid... no idea why your on it, really...

Waiting time at the gate between two and five hours (The event has not even started jet, these pre arrivals are the artists and workers to build large objects)

Guy from Glastonbury not used to dust, says he knows mood (mud) from festivals much better.

Temperature reading says it is 4458 F well obvious a floating binary .

Traveller in Time trying to keep the postings per day average high
"There is a (12m long and tail reaching 4m tall) chasing a (some 20m long also with a 4m tall tail). The was chasing s (A big red one and a smaller green scaled one) but the s got away by distracting it with some fireballs. (the s have an articulated neck and tail)

Think the rhino is only a little danger for the floating (with palm trees and a beach)

Still have not recognised the floating forest I sometimes see at night, perhaps it is the shifting castle I see at day. I think the zeppelin is an art car with a 'Big Sound System' as I only see it at the distance beyond the 'Big Sound Camps'.

There are some 4 or 5 square riggers patrolling the playa together with several motor yachts. Must be they aresearching for the or the Pier from some years back.

The CORE projects surrounding the man have been cleared yesterday afternoon. The midway maze was again open last night (read blog by Caveat) but is closed for the preparation of the Man burn tonight.

You tube stream was down this morning between 7 and 9 Black Rock City time. Proibably as they had to clean the dome there are colours again.

Thunderdome advertises you can fight 'No chainmail underwear allowed'

Listening to DJ LED on BMIR, always hoping the next DJ will be Raindog. This British English speaking DJ plays the most unpredictable sounds and music of all. He challenges visitors to play their CD with toe nail cutting sounds or whatever if they bring him a fitting bribe. Lacking that we can hear excerpts of the HHGTTG radio plays. "

damnit! I wish I was there in so many ways even though I'd probably so not cope with all the people an dstuff anymore
