Heading out to a put luck at Colin's friend Sarah's place. They pot luck every Monday at their great, old house in East Austin. It's the kind of place the cool, older kids had back in the 90's. You expect to see a Pulp or Smiths poster on the wall, but it's nowadays - so no.
JJ and I have been inspired to jazz up the place lately. We've been shopping a bit, looking for inspiration. LOTS of brainstorming. I definitely want some yellow polka-dots on the wall and maybe some stained glass and a bunch of plants. We're also thinking of coating the wall above the record holder with records - too 90's?
I got 2 pair of jeans today. Woo hoh!

BurningMan satellite event - Flipside
Flipside, a regional version of Burning Man, takes place every year in the Texas Hill Country, about 45 minutes West of Austin. The rugged terrain is transformed into a community campers, grouped into theme camps varying from "Camp Smack That Ass" where visitors are gifted with a firm walloping of the buttocks and a souvenir paddle to the "Snuggledome" where intimacy is cultivated but no sex allowed.
Flipside adheres to the Burning Man tradition of a gift-only economy. If you need something just ask, but bring something to offer! Theme camps pool their efforts to offer a gift to the community. Many have full bars or breakfast cereals, some offer homebrew, domes filled with balloons, or costumes.
First-time attendees frequently camp solo and contribute in varied ways like supplying iced coffee, leading outdoor yoga, offering personalized tours of the night sky, and creating art.
Days are spent in the clothing-optional swimming hole or "sleeping it off", nights in varied revelry. Raves, live bands, drum circles, and conversation by the fire with no bedtime tempt the dawn.
