I got back from the Burn yesterday, I was absolutely exhausted and slept 12 hours. Today I feel foggy and tired, I definitely can't do lack of sleep quite as well as I could when I was younger.
But it was awesome. On Saturday I volunteered for the burning perimeter... I won't do that again next time, but it has to be done and they were having a hard time finding enough people. I had to stand there, keeping people back, for almost 4 hours, starting hours before they lit it. My back started to hurt really bad and I couldn't watch the effigy burn. It would have been fine except damn did my back start to hurt. I had taken DOC earlier in the day and I stayed up and danced and partied the rest of the night until about 7:30am... took some 2C-B at night, and random bits of other drugs. Had a couple of really intense and profound (until I, of course, forgot it entirely) nitrous blasts. Had tons of hilarious moments, and I kept seeing people standing next to me in the darkness (an effect I sometimes get while tripping, especially at festivals). I randomly encountered two people (separately) who both live within 5 minutes of my house, which was pretty crazy since the event was in a different state. I drank a lot less than I have in past years, which is good because I remember it all and didn't have any hangovers (other than the "hangover" that comes from lack of sleep and not really eating very well).
I feel exhausted today still... I probably won't feel 100% for another day or two, but it was great. I need to make sure to rest and eat well because next weekend I've got another festival... this one is a music festival, where my band is playing a set. It will be the second biggest festival I've been to, and by far the biggest I've ever played.
