We all arrive early at the crack of 3PM to decorate, then infiltrate!

Angelic photo of Burke (with a nice lady growing out of his arm!)

Rootbeer worked on other folks stuff so much her bike was almost empty of balloons at starting time.

This is what everybody else was up to when we got there.

I think this guy in the pink fuzzy bike is following us! Glad he is nice and has a bitchin sound system on his bike as well.

That orange balloon was following me all day. I don't know how it got there but it didn't look too pleased about it .For it to be upset on such a fine day and with such fine company...Boo!


To me the present looks like what the cartoons of the past depicted the future looking like.

Guys working on the bridge had to stop and grinch grin at us.Thanks for showing us your soft spot hard hats!You should come with us next year!

....meanwhile back at Lippman's HQ. Nothin much was happenin. They don't get too many rushes for party supplies and Burning Man Gear at 3 PM on a Wednesday.:)
I carried that guitar 20 miles today and never played a song! What the heck am I doin... hitch hikin????

still nothing much going on over at home base.:(

Everybody split different directions like a buncha winged monkeys. A few of us started heading back.Even without the other folks and the balloons long popped, we were still highly photographed.

Back to Lippman's HQ for a debriefing.While we were there we picked up a few things for around the house. Business had picked up quit a bit by that time of day. Thanks for havin us Lippman's! See ya next year (or next week what ever comes first)

I don't know what this is, but I'm glad it's there,That was a fun ride with great people. Thank you Lippman's for inviting us!!!you can friend them on the Facebook!
