The Nylon Levitators...

...would be an excellent name for a band. Alas, it's the catchiest title I could come up with for this year's Balloon Races here in Reno. Yeah, I know that was almost 2 weeks ago, but I had a whole lot more on my plate both in the work and pleasure categories (stay tuned!). So while I certainly missed any competent editor's publication deadline, I still like these photos.

Some balloon photos:


Dawn Patrol lights up


Taking flight


Lone ranger


Flyby


Fire in the hole


Awww, halo and all

And some people-y photos:


Ethel acts awake


Sunkist


Star


Firefighter Murphy and Smokey want YOU to prevent forest fires

Burning Man 2009

I've selected 20 or so "hella rad" playa photos from the 115 or so that are "good" from the 20GB or so of "I know a really funny binary system joke" 1s and 0s.

I'll let them tell their own story...











































It was a Burning Man that nearly didn't happen for me, and I'm gutted that Ethel wasn't able to go, but it was good times at Martini Village and on the playa. 6 in a row!
