Did you know? Hey, Soul Sister was based off what Pat Monahan imagined the chicks at Burning Man were like.
One of my roommates left for Burning Man yesterday. I only know about the thing because I read the Hey, Soul Sister wiki article. It sounded tight.
Burning Man's supposed to be an extraordinarily free and close community, paying with gifts, not cash.
It's very art-oriented too, which is why tons of people at Cogswell would probably die to go. It'd be cool to organize something similar that brings everyone together through arting shizz up.
Now people make "Mutant Vehicles" like this giant steampunk octopus. I'm all for steampunk, and mechanical sealife.
Dressing up is a huge thing, so I hear. So two of my roommates and I went to the local costume shop. This was one of those place out of Harry Potter where the inside is hella larger than the outside.
My Burning Man roommate didn't end up getting too creative and walked away with a purple coat to go with his aviator goggles.
I on the other hand relapsed into my old theatre-self -- which I'm okay with and wish would happen more often -- using costumes to let me be other people.

Let it be known that it's my ambition to have the adjective "cat" catch on as a word describing something cool, rad, or overwhelmingly majestic.
Anyway, it was nice being comfortable with myself for once. That why I loved theatre -- if I did anything wrong, I could blame it on the character.
As a last note, there was an entire section in the shop dedicated to steampunk. This is why I love anything by Panic! at the Disco. This is why I love pipes, gears and switches.
By Halloween, my goal is to come up with a steampunk aviator costume. And then wear it.
