We started our day with some great coffee and breakfast (which was Shakes FABULOUS granola~ if you havent tried it... YOU MUST!) Se decided it was time to head to Center Cafe for some Chai Tea and to get some ice (which is usually a daily need). We stopped by our fellow Drunken Dragon Mark's camp Friendly Fire and say hello.
Mark & Magic
Well HELLO Mark! *tee hee*
Of course, I needed to don my dragon hat and my
new furry clothes! I got lots of comments about the hat!

As we traveled the city, we checked out different camps etc.... this one I found interesting and disturbing all at the same time.... WARNING... Foul language and nudity can appear at ANY time while on the playa or viewing pictures from the playa!!!
I just dont even know what to think about this sign!
Magic on the playa
I am sure this is the LARGEST teeter totter I have ever seen!
The only rule:
You MUST topless to ride it!
It looked like fun, but I wasnt even gonna try it!

I thought this was too funny....
We decided to travel the East side of the city and get
our "pee funnels". We had heard about them last year
but never got to get one.
Too Funny! It is simply a clear plastic cup hot glued to a clear tube
Its the simple things!

This was ONE art installation that I wish I had NOT
seen.... to much of a reminder of the
REAL world beyond Black Rock City!

This is one of my FAVORITE art installations.
Its called Spread Eagle!
It is a 30 ft. wing span and can be rotated by the
wind or by hand. It was solid metal and
simply GORGEOUS!

I loved this art installation.
It was 3-D art. There was a wolf, and eagle and a gecko
and lots of masks. I wish I knew where it was located on the playa
so I could look it up....

At times you find the most RANDOM and unusual
theme camps... like this one!

YUP! That is the name of the camp!
ROFLMFAO!
This is one of the most famous clubs/camps
The Deep End
We heard rumor that this was their last year... I really hope not.
It is always PACKED, but they seem to only
run during the day, and its just TOO hot to
dance and drink like some of the "younger" crowd does.

This art car always brought a smile to my face..
Its a couch laid across the vehicle.
But the back is what makes me smile..
I wonder why?

After our daily travels, we headed back to camp for some beer, food and relaxation. As the sun set, we donned our new playa garb and headed out for the night life......
The glowing palms were incredible.
The picture does NOT do them justice.

More mutant/art cars as they wait at the DMV
We heard that there were over 600 vehicles
registered this year! I believe that is a
playa record.

We ended our night at Center Cafe (our favorite place)
and watched a large group HUG!
It seems that HUGS are really the language of MANY countries.
There people from ALL over the world who come to Burning Man!
Listening to their stories of how the made it to the playa are something to
hear for sure!!!!
