Fun Weekend

[ltmurnau]

This Saturday was the Luminara festival,and my angler fish were quite a hit. Most little kids identified it as "that deep-sea fish that almost ate Nemo", though, which kind of saddened me in the way that Disney references usually do.

Here are two pictures I took of them before the festival:



I put a glowstick in the eye sockets, and a small glowstick in the wire thingy, so they looked quite nice. And yes, while walking around at night I was careful to keep them at about childs'-eye-height. I did manage to stick a couple of pushy old grannies with the sharp fins, heh.

Sunday I spent working on the shade structure for Burning Man, and I came up with something that ought to stand up (but probably not to a real storm) and be kind of shady and nifty looking:





I really, really need a set of three 12-foot folding tent poles though - you know the kind, the ones with the shock cord inside. I have only six and I don't trust them.

I like the fish.
I want to go to Burning Man--saw a story abt it three years ago on a PBS show called, "Egg."

Thanks, I'm glad!
Burning Man: you should go, or at least look into it. It's not for everyone, but if it's for you, you will know and you'll love it.
