stuff i think

playa shoes...

There's always the last week before the event when you sort of rush around thinking "uh....what did I forget?". This morning I realized that I hadn't seen my playa shoes since we moved. After checking every obvious place and a few less-than-obvious, I gave up and headed to the thrift store, where I found a killer pair of hyperglossy blood red vinyl high top Nikes.

Last night I raced around looking for the perfect hat...$3 at WallyWorld. Ironically, the exact same hat that I took to (and destroyed at) Burning Man in 2002. You can read the overall story here (of the trip, not the hat). My shade structures have been delivered to our contact in Reno - thanks Fran and the crew at the kickingist outdoor store in the west.
