The Party is Over.

Wonderful. Mad. Beautiful. Exhausting. Inspiring. Conspiring. 

***Tried to post this the other day, failed. Here she is!***

I am spent. I had an epic good time at LIB. It seems that just about everyone had an epic good time at LIB.   

I lost my iphone. This is sad, and I still would  like to find it.  I lost it sometime before dawn, and I brought this upon myself. Was it worth it? YES.  But please, if you hear of anyone finding an iphone with steampunk gears on it, please send them my way.  I'd rather not have to buy a new one. 

***Update*** I found it. It was in my tent. I like to think that a time travelling me from the future took it, used it for a little while and then put it back while I was working. Either that, or I was so out of it when I came home sunday night that I just misplaced it. Either way.... HAPPY!

Highlights: 

1. The Yard Dogs: Yeah, like I said, fucking incredible! There was one song, this mournful Etta James song, it lifted me up. I actually had to keep checking behind me to see if someone was lifting me up, or fitting me with an arial rig or something, I was sure I would fly away over the stage.  It was magic. 

2. Building the festival. I knew every inch of cable adding power to the show. I knew every path and golf cart route. I felt real ownership of my contribution. 

3. I met great people everywhere! New members of the Do Lab, people from my past, people I have met in the future, and just smiling loving faces at every turn. 

4. Gnoming it up. I scared and tricked so many of my friends, and lit up the faces of many strangers. 

5. Wolfie's set at 1:30 Saturday. It was like a family reunion. I danced, and played for the whole set. Ali and crew, you guys rocked me! I got some fantastic video, I should have it up this week. 

6. Watching Adam Freeland from the lighting booth Sunday night. 

7. Partying like a rockstar on a sunday night, just like old times, eh gang? 

8. My camp. It was so sweet. I was surrounded by good friends that I really wanted to connect with, my tent setup was super sweet, and I leveled my futon frame perfectly. After Matt Cole hooked me up with a new blanket, and scotty picked up a jacket for me I was warm as could be.

9. People saying to me  "Oh you're Spaceman!"  Apparently people are actually reading this! That makes me happy! It seems that people have been talking about me, forwarding my lists, and reading without comments. 

10. That kiss.  

*** 11. Wrapping all the lighting in 1 1/2 days. 

*** 12. The amazing sushi dinner on tuesday night for the crew. I love being a part of the Do Lab!
