Lakes of Fire 2011
Being pulled drastically out of my comfort zone and transplanting me amongst hippies, in the middle of nowhere, with no wifi, surrounded by more hippies, and you would think that would result in a catastrophic event of titanic proportions.
Well, that’s not the case. I’m pleasantly surprised.
So maybe it took a few silo cups of vodka and wandering topless women to cull me into the spirit. I’m glad it did. Lakes of Fire was a good time and it’s giving me a good idea of what to expect and seek at Burning Man later this year. I think I am sorting it out and understand it now. Gather a bunch of passionate, weird people (and people passionate about being weird), mix in some drugs and art, and you have a exceptionally colorful camping experience.
Maybe because I shied away from the psychotropics, I didn’t find it to be a soul altering experience. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have a fantastic time immersing myself in such a lush and vivid culture. The genuine nature that flowed through the site almost makes the rest of the world seem mean in comparison.
And I ate bacon cooked with a flamethrower.
This is better than all the other websites in the universe combined. Even the naked ones.
San Frycisco…
1. In-N-Out’s Animal Style Fries (melted American cheese, grilled onion, thousand island)
2. Namu’s Gamja Korean Fries (short rib, kimchee relish, kewpie mayo, teriyaki, gochujang)
3. Garlic Crab Fries (garlic, crab aioli, dungeness crab)
The release of Moneyball seems perfectly timed to help ease my pain from another crushing Cubs season.
San Francisco
I am a fan.
Spending 2 very FULL days in San Francisco has utterly sold me on the city despite how much I loath walking uphill. My body and mind were stuffed and satiated by possibly the second best city I’ve ever been to. Tokyo will take exception to that statement.
Exhibit A: The Food
There was so. much. to. eat. everywhere. I wish I had the bottomless appetite of a Sarlacc Monster and the infinite bankroll of a George Lucas. Life is really good when you can compare and contrast dungeness crab and lobster rolls and follow that up with a paired beer & cupcake flight.
The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market installed the most extreme version of envy within me. I would go there every single week and eat until I explode. Which would be a simple cleanup since it’s right on the bay.
Exhibit B: The Urban
We look a series of very long walks throughout Japantown, Chinatown, downtown, and through the Embarcadero. There was so. much. to. see. everywhere. It was a pleasant density.
Maybe I’m getting old but it felt like a more sanitized Chicago and I didn’t have a problem with that. Lincoln Park with more soul and less bros. Wicker Park minus the bicycles. And Gundam model kits are plentiful.
Side note: where were all the Chrome bags?
Better than the UFC?
I was pretty darn excited for X-Men: First Class
I am VERY DAMN excited for Transformers: The Complete Japanese Collection
But something has eclipsed both of them combined…
Lulz vs /b/
The monocle vs the fur! Could this be the most interesting internet feud ever?
Then again, this will all be very not funny when something I enjoy enters the cross-hairs of a Lulz cannon. Please don’t hack Chipotle.
