This is the interior of Uchronia, popularly known as the "Belgian Waffle", a huge art installation on the deep playa:

More photos are here; I'll share more of my thoughts on my playa experience once I feel a bit better.

Did the Uchronia burn?

Yes, though I did not get to see it go up (was just too exhausted to sit up past 9pm on Sunday when we had to break camp the next morning). I know [livejournal.com profile] lrc has photos; I'll point you at them when I find them available online.

I saw your photos a few minutes ago. These were especially amazing. Please please please tell me they had music in there and dancing. THAT would have been awesome.

Looking at your pictures it REALLY made me heartbroken that I didn't get out there this year.

Ah well.

Yes, there was music in there. When they burned it down, it WAS a disco inferno.

We can make it happen... we have 359 days to plan. :D

This is true! And 359 days for me to save my pennies for the three day drive to get there.

Yeah, we seem to have come down with strep, though we managed to avoid the icky stomach bug that was going around. What ailed Neil?

BTW, now that we're done with BM for at least a few months and have some semblance of life back, we should get toggether soonish.

That is an *amazing* structure. I am convinced I need to start planning for my first trip to Burning Man.

Do it. I now have a wealth of "do's" and "don'ts" for such trips, and we are putting together a full-fledged theme camp for 2007.

I seriously considered going this year, but I think I'd feel more comfortable if I went into it a full year in advance so I could better budget my money, time, and energy. As much as I love to do things off the cuff, it would be silly of me to do so with Burning Man and expect to have as much fun.

Can you suggest any resources for those planning in way in advance?

We were making one of these; unfortunately I failed to get a photo of the finished result.
