I head back to camp, change my clothes and decide to wander around the playa. I figure I’ll jump on an art car and just let it take me wherever it feels like going. I find the Surly Bird only a few blocks away, a red delight playing just my sort of trance and we’re off, first through the back streets then across the deep playa.

I go to the Temple and write something for my grandfather. I don’t realize until later that it’s the anniversary of his death and how appropriate this is. I add something for Doug’s parents, whose estates we gave away at Burning Man last year.

I meet Oona and Jake, randomly on the same art car, weirdly also from Flaming Lotus Girls… A wonderful night.
