Many fine moments have I spent at the BRCPO – Black Rock City Post Office. Here’s a picture of our post office from 2010.
It’s been a place to laugh, cry, make friends and be theatrical in a way I’ve never experienced anywhere else in the world. A great cauldron of humor and learning. We’re raising money for 2011’s BRCPO and you can help by clicking here. And, we’re always looking for help in other ways, too. Get on board. You won’t regret it.
In 2014 there will probably again be 3 post offices.

Burning Man 2010
Well, yes, my 11th year, how could I not go? A free gifted ticket helped! Thanks, Nurse Flo! (for a longer write-up of my trip this year, click here for the September issue of The Eleven)
Yes, it was marvelous. Yes, there was dust. Yes, I had the time of my life! I’m going to do a longer write up of my experience, with a slide show and all that, but right now it’s time to decompress. Vitamin C, deplayafying stuff, and showering often 🙂
I spent much of this year plying the playa with my trusty bike, making new friends, and enjoying the incredible large-scale artworks. The weather really cooperated, and it was the best weather year we’ve had in a long time. The rainstorm on Monday night led to clear lungs for the next 3 days, and the temperatures were very mild compared to previous years. I found some new theme camps to enjoy this year – the big pink heart, Tuna Guys, and the BRCPO 2.0 was filled with a really stellar bunch this year. I’ll be posting a lot more, but here’s some playa to walk on to start with.
Here was slideshow of some photos that Tantelope took. I could write for days about this experience, of course, and there’s emails to answer, and my e-letter, The Eleven to write, so that will have to wait a little while 🙂 Dontcha worry, I’ll say more, cause it was a big big year. Best ever, as they all are. Next year was always better, though 🙂
