On Saturday (I hope!) I head off to Burning Man for my sixth year. Am really excited about it once again, and I’m in the midst of getting all my camping gear ready. Mmph, five different flavors of MRE!
The theme this year is “The Floating World” ie ocean, nautical, etc. So I’m building two “theme” projects: I’m turning the Trailmate (see below) into a stingray (see below also) with PVC and cloth wings and electroluminescent lights so it’ll light up purple at night.
And…the surf-scooter!!!
That’s my gas-powered scooter, with a surfboard mounted on top. I still need to finish it – attach some blue/silver fringe along the bottom, and reglass where I cut the hole for the handlebar – both of which may wait till I get out to the desert. Then I’ll be surfin’ in style! I’ll even be sitting waiting for waves in style!
Of course, pictures will be posted online when I get back, assuming I end up taking any pictures. For now you can use the link to the left to look at my 1999 pictures. Or you can hop in the woody and head out there now!
