made it to the city of roses. and just to greet me, it's supposed to rain for the next five days. 
but unpacked my van and i'm ready to setup my space tomorrow. i'm psyched.
also narrowly avoided a speeding ticket yesterday driving up here, saw the cop coming from an on ramp and pacing me JUST in time to slow down and he didn't...

ok, everything is boxed now. almost all of it is in storage. i'm ready for the trek from sf up to portland next week. now if the ass wipes setting off fireworks at 2 am would cool their heels i could get some frackin sleep!
julliette:
have a lot of fun, cutie!
ok, back in SF for a week. now is the big push for boxing and packing things. and a big week at work too. will be super busy!
ladie:
Thank you for the sweet set comment
loving fall colors in portland this last weekend. now that i'm spending half of my time there, i'm getting such a treat. i've lived in SF so long I've completely forgotten what fall is supposed to look like.
it is getting darn cold already there though. colder than a summer day in SF. so that's going to be interesting for me. I'm spoiled by temperateness....

anjuli:

... rainy season early, but i love it!in portland now, it's suddenly fall/winter. so grey in the morning it's not quite morning and not quite night. a sense of perpetual in between.
went to build the black rock glacier project, made of recycled water bottles. but it didn't come together. conflict between artist and the engineer prevented completion. which was sad. BUT we managed to have a blast and contribute to neighbors and first timers experiences. now if i could just finish cleaning all the dust off things...
big question for me right now though, should i...

You can't have both love and personal growth?
I am a lover and I've always followed my heart. Has kept me a bundle of bliss....
I didn't go to Burning man this year. I would like to go next yeat though.
Do you have photos from your trip?

astray:
Didn't take any photos this year, but a little video. You should definitely go if you can manage it, and go with friends. Gives me a huge creative burst each year, and opens my heart a little further.
On the love and personal growth dilemma, unfortunately I'm faced with pursuing a relationship or a meditation training and they're mutually exclusive. But it's awful because the relationship is too new to really know how it would turn out, and the meditation training starts this week and it's go or not go. The next training like this doesn't start for a couple years. Very rare tibetan training, that's almost a once in a lifetime opportunity. So my heart is exploding. I fear I'll have regret and heartbreak no matter which way I turn. Crazy how two great options in life can then leave me so upset.

How was burning man?
How was burning man?
ah, germany wast gute! really loved it there. the people were gorgeous. the place was so well kept. dignified even. had tremendous fun. swung by geneva as well briefly, such an international city. next stop, burning the man. going out early to help build one of the large art projects - the black rock glacier.
heading to germany later this week. going to visit a buddhist monastery and two visiting tibetan lamas. my experience so far is that lamas are the warmest, sweetest people on the planet.
kay:
Minus 40, so not so warm. Have fun in Germany. I read lamas about being warm...I was thinking llamas, you know, the hock the loogie kind. I know. I need to sleep more.
