The Blight - Photography by Neil Girling   

Dust storm, Thursday, Burning Man 2007

I depart within the next few hours for Burning Man 2009 — we’re taking a leisurely trip up and staying the night in Tahoe — but we arrive early tomorrow afternoon. I will be updating TheBlight.net / Twitter / Flickr with updates throughout the week, wifi and conditions permitting, so check back often and see photos as the week unfolds.

You may absolutely use my photos for your blog if you A) give credit as “nightshade, theblight.net” and B) link back here. If you wish to use them for anything else, please contact me. I will reply as soon as I an able.

See you in the dust.

Preliminary map, Fandango at Burning Man 2009

We received new information regarding our preliminary placement at this year’s Burn, and I’ve reflected that in the above map. We arrive this Saturday afternoon.

Note that this, like the one before, is still a “best-guess” and may not be accurate. The only thing we know for sure is that our address is listed as 3 o’clock and Adapt. Come find us and have a drink. And now, back to packing.

This is a best-guess on my part from the preliminary placement data they gave us.

The Burn this year is a go. I once again serve on the art documentation team, meaning I’m supposed to take photos of things. It’s a job I can handle. This year you may find me within the Fandango Village, and we are conveniently located at the 3 o’clock plaza (Adapt and 3:00).

UPDATE: This map is a best-guess on my part.
