>Previous Entry (Pre-Burn Sunday)< >Next Entry (Tuesday Driving)<

The first night: Being jet lagged and absolutely shattered from a rough weekend of drinking, I slept like a baby until…6:30 am. What a fail. Reno is cold in the mornings- almost brutally chilly as S reported after his night in the RV. My uncle was nice enough to get J and I a hotel room at the Best Western across from the Reno airport to spend our first night in. After waiting for J’s late flight to arrive from Denver at 11:10pm there was nothing I wanted to do more than take a warm shower and find a bed. Also, dry? Incredibly so. Bring lipgloss, eye drops and moisturizer. Besides the lack of moisture, Best Western is a decent hotel. We’ve now had breakfast and coffee and are waiting for stores to open on South Virginia Street.

Shopping list: There are at least 5 burner shops we’d like to visit including: The Melting Pot World Emporium, Junkees Clothing Exchange, Polyesther’s Costume Boutique, The Doll House and Menagerie Costumes. We’re also going to go back to Home Depot, Walmart and, of course, COSTCO. Silly S didn’t know that J and I are both members so he’s gone and signed up for a COSTCO card too! Just a drop in the hat after getting a $4500 RV I suppose…In particular, J and I need to buy calf/knee-high boots, long socks, ski goggles and body/face paint. He also needs to get costumes, because he is terrible at planning. I have already warned him that I will be putting eyeliner on him on at least one occasion. HAHA!

Rave Booth update: A positive development! S just got off the phone with a very nice pair of Burners from Opulent Temple who have agreed to bring our boxes of rave shit with them to their camp. What a relief! It would have been a bummer to buy LED respirators and not get to use them!
