Gotta have spares

The Quest for Goggles

We had one heck of a time trying to find the right goggles. In the midst of our quest, other people in the camp heard we were picking up goggles and asked us to grab some for them. Bevan wound up buying 25 pairs from 7 different very savvy vendors on the Venice Boardwalk. They obviously knew BM was coming up and wouldn’t budge on price. So, all in all it only took 2 fruitless trips to Hollywood and 3 trips to Venice to get everything.


Bevan ran into a fellow Burner at Venice Beach.

Nothing is Real

The Road Mac

Ready for the dust of Burning Man and the Danes of a dog park.



Velcro® is what holds Mac in place when lid is open.The G-Tech
external hard drive has a fan that is vented with the input of air
flowing through the square hole on right and exiting out the back
next to the power cord. Note that foam hole in lid is 1.5" smaller
than the size of the laptop.

Air that exits hard drive then passes under power supply before it
exits the case. A USB Air Card can be seen tucked away, upper left.
And look, room for more hard drives!
