lol - thats exactly what I was getting at. Too bad I spelled his name wrong...

Posted by Miriam on 2008-07-31 16:33:55 +0000

I REALLY miss that show.

Posted by MF DU on 2008-07-31 16:35:17 +0000

As do I.

Is it really only 12 hours from sd to santa fe? I would have thought it would be at least half again as long. Get some huevos rancheros with green at horseman's haven for me. Unless you eat meat and they have the adovada and eggs special, in which case, get that and have a side of green. Or just eat every meal there (which is more or less what I did the last time I was in town). I don't know deadwood from shinola, but I'm super jealous of your time in fanta se.

Oh, and happy hour margaritas at the cowgirl (chiles rellenos highly recommended, as is ice cream baked potato).

Say Hi to my friends Dave and Amber at the replica Bladerunner noodle hut at Burning Man!

oooh...am vegetarian, and looking forward to it! thanks for the tip. :)

Posted by loxocele on 2008-08-04 15:47:33 +0000

oooh! do you know about where they camp, or what the name of their camp is? i will add them to my list of People To Hunt Down....

Posted by G lib on 2008-08-11 13:22:56 +0000

No idea where they camp, but apparently the noodle bar has been around for a while, and is pretty popular. Wait a minute, there's no indexed and cross-referenced resource list at burning man? Sheesh.

Posted by loxocele on 2008-08-13 19:45:19 +0000

there's a computer somewhere in center camp, supposedly, where people can go enter their names and where they're camping... ...but you have to know what name they'd enter (playa name, real name, other name), and they have to take the initiative to go register. i never got around to it last year, so i have no clue. i'll hunt for the noodle bar...and if you talk to your friends, tell them to come by Bob's Rainforest (typically around 7 and C). we mist people, and we have good beer. yaaaay.

what i should be doing right now is something productive - like packing for burning man, or finishing transcribing the rest of my roadtrip posts now that i'm momentarily stationary. however, i had a damn stressful day - so what i *am* doing right now is watching the first four episodes of deadwood... ...and wow, this thread makes a lot more sense! :D
