Hello, and welcome to this month’s The Eleven, my monthly e-letter.
Have you ever had a destination in mind but had to complete many tasks before you could get there? That’s how this edition of the 11 has been for me. Whew, and I’m there and ready to write!!!! First, the news.

In fact, this has been my lesson from Burning Man this year – which if anyone who can help is listening – WAS WAY WAY WAY TOO LOUD. We take some of the most intelligent people on Earth; bring them to an incredibly beautiful part of the world; fill that space with amazing art; and then drown everyone in a sound mush that is so abrasive that I don’t think I’ll ever go back again. My 13th year was so loud that I think my system has been completely overloaded and I’m having a very hard re-entry. What? And, if you’re interested in links to pictures/videos, let me know – I have a great list, because of course, this was also the best year ever. Yeah, it’s like that out there…

This one by Mark Morford of the San Fran Chronicle (I recommend subscribing to his weekly column…) is very good. And then there’s this… for those staying at home, but a reminder to those going to Burning Man, too 🙂
may i burn the man at home this year may i finally become a full participant
may i kick the culture consumption habit cold turkey and get on with resonating funky genius and vulnerable enthusiasm
I was having a discussion with folks in the Portland Burning Man community yesterday, and here’s something I penned about gifting:
“Jason, I would say it’s not an exact science, and rather perhaps more of an
art form this giving and receiving. I’ve been working on something
recently that’s in a similar vein, Farm My Yard (https://farmmyyard.org ) and it’s been an interesting trip. I thought it would be an a + b = c kind
of experience, but instead, it’s full of thousands of variables and every situation is different.
same with giving and receiving. it’s not that cut and dry. each of us is
in a very different place in life – may be the same age, but diff class
background. may have the same skin color, but different gender. may have
different life experiences – having had a lot, easy access to stuff; or
none at all.
that said, I take each situation as well as I can in the moment and use my
judgment, wisdom, and also make plenty of misjudges and mistakes along the
way.
thank God there has been Burning Man because that has been an incredible
crucible for me to try this type of exchanging, gifting, asking/receiving,
activity out for the last 12 years.
one year I came back and started FreecylePortland – and I don’t mean that
as a show-offy comment, just that I think about this concept A LOT. and
try to live it, and share it, and yeah
hope everyone’s having fun preparing this year….
Then, later, I added this in. Feel free to play in the comments section!
I’d love to hear you take a few minutes and spell out what a gifting
economy is. your words, a few paragraphs, go.
the winner is all of us.
I’ve gifted you with some of my understanding of the gifting economy 🙂 what’s yours?
Another fantastic year at Burning Man!
