Killfiles are lame. They're like bestiality, man -- if you absolutely must indulge, for God's sake, don't make a big fucking public deal about it.

Austin is ON FIRE

OK, so, if you live in Austin, and you missed Burning Flipside, you SUCK.
Some crazy Burning Man freaks in Austin set up their own REGIONAL BURNING MAN that ran over June 4-6. It was apparently HIGHLY COOL and if you had an ounce of coolness you would have been there, too.
Don't worry, though. There'll be more!
Personally, I think this is the future of the Burning Man phenomenon -- a de-emphasis of the One Big Festival, and a branching out to tons of smaller (<1000 people) ones that run under the radar. Big explosions! Guns! Fire! Naked CHYX! This is what it's all about!
