We went, we conquered, we destroyed, we laughed, and we cried. Burning Man 2008, is now officially over.
We spent a huge portion of the time working on our 18 foot in diameter spinning carousel bar, but with absolutely no stress, and huge insane success. Before the weekend arrived we had it completed, and we were spinning, in all senses of the word.
Everybody in Bat Country stepped up this year, and to me, this was my favorite year so far, and my head is overloaded and still spinning from all the intense energy.
What goes up must come down, and so far re-entry has been harder than ever for me this year. I think I am now well past the half way mark emotionally, but the first few hours, from the exit gates, to wadsworth, were filled with tears and emotion. I realized before this I had not cried for 2 entire years.
If it is even possible, this year was more powerful and awesome than my virgin year, which was also a completely overwhelming and perfect experience.
Our days were filled with wonderful people, awesome events, and beautiful neighbors. We are really hoping to keep our Esplanade placement, and only increase our game next year.
So for now, spotman out. Media coming very soon I hope.

Well, it doesn't get much closer than this. I leave for the playa in 36 quick hours. Things have come a long way in the past couple weeks. My camp's numbers have swelled quite a bit, which brings new energy and new people. Everyone in the camp is super positive and super energized, the buzz is completely overwhelming, and awesome. We have nearly finished every project that we as a camp set out to do, complete from a spinning bar (18' in diameter!), to first class dj's and a sound system, and several major pieces of art!
I believe I have just about everything packed, from the lizard tail, to the solar lights, and we are foaming at the mouth. So this will probably be my last post here on this side, but I will definitely see you on the other side! Sometime after the 3rd of september.
Cacaaaaaw!
If you make it to the playa this year, make sure and swing by 9:30 and Esplanade to say hello!

Well, Burning Man just released camp placements this week, and believe it or not, my camp has landed on the ESPLANADE!.
So, this ultimately means that Bat Country will be on what is essentially Main St. Burning Man. On the esplanade we will have the opportunity to expose our art and our camp to many many more people, and in exchange we will have a healthy dose of non-stop action for the entire time of the event.
Needless to say, I am pretty excited. This will be my third year straight attending the burn, and it is unreal to me how it just gets more exciting each year. Each year so far has presented new challenges, adventures, and memories, but this year by far has surpassed the previous two in terms of challenges. Adventures and Memories pending.
I believe Bat Country consists of some of the finest people in the world, and in turn will make this one for the books. From a spinning carousel bar, to Hunter S Tuesday, coming to a playa, near you!
