Storms again

It's been storming now almost every other week in DFW this summer. The effect has left a constant fug of water in the air, humid to the bones... my bones, specifically. My knee is screaming every day now, without me doing much of anything on it. Awesome

I've decided a blog entry isn't worth writing anymore unless I start it out complaining about my physical ills. This is because that is the most interesting thing one person can talk to another person about, and it is guaranteed success in making friends and entertaining audiences.

I came up with an easy costume/gimmick today for burning man: I'm going to be a flunky for the DJ Census Bureau. It came to me when I was trying to figure out just how many people at Burning Man are DJ's. At population numbers well over 30,000, with a large majority of burners being fans of dance music, I'd guess that at least 5% of the total population claims to be performing DJ's of some type. A the most modest of projections, that would mean 1500 DJ's were all at the same event.

But these are just theories. What science and legal loopholes stand on is facts! So someone's gotta get out there and go camp to camp, figuring out just how many DJ's each camp will claim for the 2009 DJ census. In addition to my shirt-and-tie buracratic gag, I'm going to try to collect mix CD's from as many of the named and registered DJ's as possible. This way I could potentially upload all of those mixes (with permissions given, of course) and have a decent representation of the performing talent at BM 2009.

Thank the almighty god of cats I'm bringing a bike.

I figure, if nothing else, it'll force me to actually go to every single camp and say "hi."
