It had been raining all day and towards the end of the day we got some lightning. After trudging our asses the 1/4 mile to the effigy (if it wasn't a half mile, it was damn close!) we were stopped by Safety. Turns out some dumb ass had dropped a shit-load of acid (AGAINST THE RULES!) and they had to call in an ambulance and since there were illegal substances, a bunch of cops.

Great, you stupid fuck. You've really helped the rep of the fest with the town. Dumb shit.

Anyhew, we managed to find some local folks we knew and trudged back a few camps and watched the 'other' fire tribe. While there, some folks were getting it on in the big ass RV. While we were standing there, someone turned on one of the lights inside the RV and lit up the unintentional live sex show.

We found out that they had canceled the fire spinning show due to lightening. Sucked, but we can understand why. They finally announced the start of the burn, so back up we went. So, we stood in the cold rain for almost an hour. We amused ourselves by passing out Blackberry Whips.

After a while, they started the burn. It didn't catch. They tried some more. It caught a little. They threw on some white gas containers. It started burning a little better. Random fireworks caught, but the effigy was still burning quite slowly. We figure they didn't protect the timber from the rain.

After about 45 minutes of standing on the side of a hill in the cold, wet rain. We figured this could go on a while longer and we should just head back to camp. We stopped at a abandoned golf cart and watched from a distance as some more fireworks went off into the crowd.

Not a good burn, I would say. By the time we got back to camp, the hubby had to pull my rain boots off. My feet were too swollen.

It was really beautiful, don't get me wrong. Just bad planning. I did take a whole roll of film of the thing, so it must have been somewhat good.

Next Sunday, Sunday Sunday!
