In-Between Thoughts from the folks that bring you the

Burning Man Pt. 2

The Playa. That’s what they call it out there. The Playa. I talked a friend of mine into going. A tall lanky red head, Irish as a fucking pint glass, and so skinny he looks like he couldn’t survive a hacky sack being thrown hard at him. He’s a meaner-than -cat-shit lawyer though, a former soccer star, and one of the only single friends I have left. He was certainly the only one willing to fly across the country and get into this mess with me. He’s been doing that Rosetta Stone thing you see on late night TV, trying to learn Spanish, and every time someone mentions the Playa he tells me that means “ the beach” in Spanish. “La Playa means the beach in Spanish”. My head pressed against the window, I don’t give a fuck. We’re in a loaded down Ford F -350 packed to the gills with ice, beer, and enough North Face flair to choke a fucking mountain. John’s friends, Ted and Dennis, are in another F350 loaded down just like it, behind us. We finally round the right curve, after hours of driving through nothing, and I see it sitting out there in the middle. Burning Man. The Playa. It’s cracked white dirt as far as you can see, forever. And then beyond that there are illusions of things you might see and waves of heat rising up into the sky and tens of thousands of cars parked perfectly in a half circle. I don’t know if we have enough to survive. Not for four days. This is not the fucking beach, in any fucking language. I mean maybe a million years ago something swam down here in this flat spot in the mountains, but now I could only imagine a couple of scorpions living out here. Hopefully in some aquarium in some poor ass Indian trailer somewhere, because I wouldn’t wish this land even on a scorpion. The Beach. If this is the beach then I’m a fucking rainbow. This was dirt and heat as dry as a fucking dinosaur turd. I needed a hat, I needed a fucking turban, Maybe I could sleep in the truck. Jesus. This is something Evil Kneivel would’ve wanted to race across in some stupid speed feat. Only he’d hit a sandstorm and die an early death out here. We turned onto the beach and formed a line at the gate with a hundred other cars, some of them covered in fur and welded and glued together look like rabbits. I thought needlessly about Bear Grylls.

Burning Man Pt. 1

For several years now, my older brother has been prodding me to come to his neck of the woods to try out a festival called burning man. John has played as important role in my life as any one person has. He pulled me out of the ditch when I was really down in it, and even before that he had been busy flying me all over the country, wherever he happened to be working at the time, to see different time zones, and experience different climates and cultures, and he's just awesome and I just can't even say enough about how much I love him and look up to him. James Brown said "damn right I'm somebody" and if I am somebody, then John is the reason for that, and that is a debt that I will never be able to repay. That said, I don't know why it took three years for him to convince me that heading out into the Nevada desert, onto some barren assed government land that we blindsided the Indians with, for four days with 50,000 mostly naked crazy people, was a good idea. Used to I would have just gotten on the nearest plane and went. But when I said yes and he sent me a ticket this year, I was scared. I like to think I’m as tough as the next guy. I’ve been down more than a few dark roads in my life, and come out the other side. Bones Heal and chicks dig scars right? But I’m domesticated now. Situated in a zombie proof loft, upstairs in the city with two mortgages, and three dogs, and a wife who I adore, and I’m out of shape all of a sudden and almost 35 years old. He’s 47 though. Successful, four kids, big house nice cars, Lake Tahoe. Fuck it. I said. Fuck it. But I didn’t mean it.

Flashy Gashy

Several weeks ago, I met Shantee AKA Flashy Gashy AKA Luther Winters, a homeless cross dresser living on the streets of Macon.  Living downtown, I'm pretty used to characters inhabiting my life. Really it's always been that way for me.  The jugglers, liars and thieves of the world cling to me in a way most people don't and  I don't deny liking that. 

Anyway, To talk to Shantee is like listening to Little Richard and Ike Turner at once.  Our first conversation went something like this.

Shantee: "Hey Baaaby, when you gone buy me a baked potato?"
