I loved the music at Burning Man this year. Or rather, I loved the music at our camp. It was filled with spontaneity. We had a couple of Chiko boys camping with us that were guitar players and singers. They had a great sense of humor. My favorite was when Burke would regail us with his "Toadstool" song. I took video of it, for some reason it doesn't sync right though.

Tyler was camping with us and brought his Drum. Joe had his drum too so they shared information back and forth on how to play and taught a little bit to Julie.

One of my favorite moments was when the biggest dust devil ever hit our camp. We were taking turns holding down the shade structure when Tyler started drumming on the top of the uhaul trailer. I joined in from the inside with a kick drum sound. Next thing you know, Dan and Jonnay are playing along. Someone heard one of the neighbors on his bongo playing along with us. It was a ton of fun and a nice reprieve from the stress of the weather.

One night through the tent walls there was a fun round of Row, row, row your boat. I have no idea who we were singing along with.

Before the shade went down, we had a party during the day and dave set up his sound system and turntables. I had a blast spinning there! Hell, when else would I get a chance to spin with my bra showing except there. The only difficult part of the set was when the wind hit and the parachute knocked the monitor onto the turntables. Fortunately I got my hands under there just in time, everything thinks the needle didn't skip at all, but it did a little. I was stuck there yelling until someone finally saw me. Definately a highlight to watch people walking down the street dancing to my tunes and people thanking me for my set.

James, Dave and I played tag team on Friday night when we had a party at our camp. I LOVE to hear Dave spin, even better to play with him. I had never heard James play before, I need a cd from that boy. I just wish I had of been in full control of my faculties that night, cause I sucked hard. Travis got on the decks and Jonnay took control of the eq. It was fun to watch them have so much fun and play like that together.

The next day Dave gave me a dj tutorial. It was extremely helpful. I wish we had of had more time to work on it though.

We had a rave camp down the street a block away from us. I loved hearing their music. I loved the music they played, they played everything that I have on vinyl. The problem was that they had 5000 visitors a day. Which meant, we had to go find new porta potties cause they filled up pretty quick. Ewww.

The only bad thing about the music this year is that I missed seeing Freq Nasty yet again. There is always next year...or the warehouse.
