Dear Universe,


In two days time I will take a six hour journey into the desert with a very friendly gay mexican man who has offered me a seat in his car.  (I had coffee with him don't worry Universe, he cool).  Our destination will be Black Rock City, a city of 50 000 people that exists for only a week every year, and my new temporary home.  I thought I would give you a heads up on what I'm expecting, just so that you're not confused or unclear on my grand expectations for the B Man:

1. As you know Universe, I'm camping with a group called "Big, Puffy and Yellow" and the bulk of their attendees reside in Charlotte on the East Coast. Please make sure that all people camping in this group and wonderful and sweet.  If there are any sex offendors or weirdos make sure they break down in Reno. 
2. More importantly, make sure that everyone at the camp loves me and that I get my two meals a day.  Otherwise I'm screwed.
3. Do not schedule any sandstorms between the 1st and the 8th of September.  This is very important.  Also, cool days are very hip for the desert at the moment and balmy nights make for good dancing and other entertaining bits.  Try it, you'll see.
4. Remind me to pack everything important for my first camping trip in the desert.  I don't want to get there and realise that I don't have any toiletpaper with me. 
5. Universe, put all the good folk on my path.  Help me make some great connections and meet some mindblowing people.
6. Give me a sense of humor.  Open my mind.  Make me playful and free.  If there is a place in the world where I really don't have to worry about what others think, it's Burning Man.  I'm gonna have the biggest load of fun I've had in years!
7. Throw me some awe inspiring curveballs that will roll my brain around and make me change my own perceptions of the world.
8. Traveling folk who have a truck and space in it would be nice.  Then they can invite me to join them on their cross country extravaganza.  LA and San Diego first.  New Mexico would be good, and from there Alabama, New Orleans, hey, I could even go to Charlotte before heading back to the N of the Y and giving it a good roll this time.
9. Make sure there are lots of men with great... personalities Universe. Lots of um.  Keep woman to a minimum.  We don't need um.

I know you are gonna rock my world next week.

Big Love,

Alice
