Radiohead Consolation Prize: no Burning Man 2008 for Art Predator
No American Dream Burning Man for us this year, no sirree. Troubled tranny in the van, uncertain economics, plus a round of flu and colds put a dent in our travel plans.
Since we’re not out on the Black Rock Desert, getting sandblasted and sunburnt on that magnificent playa, being blown away literally and figuratively, as a sort of consolation prize, we see RADIOHEAD in concert tonight in the cool, foggy Santa Barbara Bowl. Since this past year Radiohead’s In Rainbows cd has been my life soundtrack, on repeat for months at a time, it is a fitting consolation prize.
On Saturday, fellow non-burning burners will gather at our house, in playa finery or not, and we will burn a little man, symbolically in a fire, breathe in cool clean coastal air, dance around, maybe even get naked and soak in the hot tub lit by tiki torches. It’s not Burning Man, but once a Burner, always a Burner I say. The experience, the transformation, never leaves you.
LET THE MAN BURN WITHOUT ME (blogging about it!)
