I stopped making annual hajj to the Blackrock Desert in 2000 but do entertain an impulse each year to return. Except the orgiastic burn ain't gonna be the same this year:

Arrest made after Burning Man torched early

SAN FRANCISCO - Burning Man became Burnt Man four days early on Tuesday, and a San Francisco performance artist was arrested on suspicion of igniting the signature figure of the counterculture festival in the remote Nevada desert.
The early morning fire scorched about 85 percent of the structure, Burning Man spokeswoman Andie Grace said.

I'd be careful about venturing into the desert with Aaron. He might transfer his man-crush from Haderlein to you... And that burning man thing looks vaguely like Adam Ant if he were starring in that marvelous 50s classic King of the Rocketmen. Paul (the real one, not the pretender)

I'd never transfer my man-crush on Sexy Steve. I recently sent Steve an "Aaron Proctor & The 11% Experience" pin. I hope he enjoys it as a token of my manlove.

WHOA! There is a strong rumor going around town that Aaron was seen riding through Old Pasadena in a Maserati driven by that other Steve, the absent one. Is that true? Wait till the "Sexy One" hears of this.
