Today I was compelled to buy and start my separate paper and pen Burning Man journal. I actually realized last night after our meeting that it was time to start journalling and it needs to be separate from my everyday paper journal, LJ, and my Burning Man blog. I can feel the energy coming over me. Big. Time.

I wonder if other writers have different journals for different times and events.

At Barnes and Noble, going through the Moleskine journals was intoxicating, I wanted every size and color. I settled on a reddish color, not my first choice, but it came in packs of three, about 6" by 4"; the lovely green, in packs of two, but slightly thicker. The red had more pages, same price. And then I got three pocket size, in gold/brown. That was a splurge. I haven't splurged much. There's just so much to take.

I have day & night boots, a few outfits, inventory "stuff" is growing. The clothes are fun because they're sexy, inappropriate anywhere else, a little slutty, fun, easy...

Still need bike lights, seat cover...

Big drugstore run.

Food, beverage, booze.

For your bike - try battery-operated Christmas lights, if you can find them. The little bulbs look really cool wound around the frame of a bike.

Oh that sounds great, maybe a party store? Are you going?

No...not sure it's quite me, although I know people who have gone & loved it. I don't deal well with crowds & heat & stuff.

A party store might have some, or maybe a good craft store. The JoAnn fabrics near me has them sometimes with their bridal stuff. I ordered mine online last fall - used them in winter for extra visibility during my bike commute.

There is a very interesting (at least to me) article in the September/October issue of Archaeology about Burning Man. An anthropologist named Carolyn White was there in 2006 when she was studying a Depression era mining town close by called Rabbithole Springs.

PM me if you want me to email you a scan of the article.
