off to burningman... again!

well, these last few weeks have been great. very busy with preparations for burning man !

dinosaur costumes are complete, as is a wonderful cape and other garments that my mother also helped me sow together. i hope to get some nice pictures as i think its going to look great!

i plan on visiting some permaculture tents while I am at the event, so I can meet some cool new people and make some contacts in this new world.

being back in california feels like a dream right now. its terribly familiar, and yet it also feels foreign.

Back in Amsterdam, I've had to move out of the temporary place I had, which is really a shame because I really liked living with Anat. She was so good to me in the last weeks and really helped me to get my costume together as well... I wish I didn't leave her place in such a mess though! feel bad about that, so I am planning on trying to make it up to her when I get back.

In my last weeks in Amsterdam i had a beautiful time with a new girl i met named Stephanie. She's Polish in origin but grew up in Munich, Germany. By now I think she has moved back to Munich, she was staying in Amsterdam a year for school student of literature, but this time is now over. I met her dancing one night in a nice small squat-club. The whole experience was pure and simple. It was a nice even exchange of love, no expectations, and no sadness at parting - just joy for what was. really this is the kind of relationship[s] dynamic I am looking for, so it was a really great experience, and a really welcome change after all the other romantic experiences I have just had over the last 10 months or so.

so, i'm curious what world i will be in, a week form this time.

all the very best to you all, a full report of burningman 2007 will follow!

this is all truel;y a full circle now as i started my whole blog with my arrival in SF and going to burning man one year ago today!
