The Hammock Hangout at Burning Man 2005

Planning, preparing, setting up, running and tearing down the Hammock Hangout this year has certainly been my biggest commitment to the Burning Man experience to date.

Not only because it has been a huge work, but also because the work has been done mostly with the smallest team ever: 2 people!!! well, sometimes even 3, and in some cases we had a great support from our BM family, specially in running the Hammock Hangout. but setting up and tearing down has been a two-men-against-time-and-nature work. Heavy, but amazing!!!

Here are some of the pictures of the Hammock Hangout tear down, the guy in most of the pictures is Burning Man veteran, ex-DPW, crazy Dutch cowboy Paul DeJong, a great friend of mine who lives in San Francisco. Paul look tough but really is the sweetest guy around, and a crazy genius. I had a great time in getting involved with him in this project, and in becoming friends, brothers - desert brothers.






Check out how awesome our Hammock Hangout is!











Look how many beautiful people and good vibes we were having on daily (and nightly) basis. You can click on the images to get to the Flickr.com photo album where you can browse all the pictures in full details.






And how about my DJ Sonic silver RV, which I entirely foiled in aluminum wrap paper (and silver glued glitter for some details)?

I love my Burning Man RV, he just passed away after my recent trip to the Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave Desert - but it has been a great companion and comfy home for two Burning Man events, and many trips around beautiful California.

Check out my real grass garden, strategically placed to be in the shade after 1pm, and regularly fed with a water recycling project (all my showers where taken on the lawn, and all the melted ice was feeding my garden too). I really enjoyed having friends over for a tea in my garden in the late afternoons, before getting ready for the Playa nightlife!


Though work that lasted forever, but I really loved it. Paul and I stayed a few more days on site, waiting and hanging out with DPW and PlayaQ and going to the hot springs before even thinking to tear down the Hammock Hangout, then working really hard against a dust storm that lasted two days, and the usual harsh environment of the Black Rock Desert.

But we did it, of course! and we are very proud of it!!! I look forward to set it up again next year, we already have a few upgrading ideas....
Check out also the pictures from the Trego desert hot springs, they are pretty cool...


In the two pictures of me you can see the difference between before going to the hot springs, completely covered in dust, and after hanging out in the hot water ditch all night, back to clean again!!! It's funny, I drunk some water right before Paul took that picture of me, and you can see the sign of the water cleaning off the dust from my mustaches!
