So! Glee and squee and far too much research.
I am going to Burning Man, I am taking a new friend with me (for the love of god wish me luck on not going crazy or totally alienating either of my dear friends who will be with me on this journey), and I have totally no idea what it's gonna be like to do this.
Water conservation like woah, garbage bag over a wooden frame (with a plywood base?) on top of my car for evaporation of the minimal washwater for three people. (Is that even gonna be feasible?)
I can take a serious shower when I get to Colorado, all of us can. Michael's house has unlimited hot water, and I'm betting there's a truck stop we can stop off in along the way someplace and grab some quick stink-washdown showers between Reno and Denver. No guarantee, but I'm totally prepared to travel with stinky friends in my car if I have to.
Still debating on taking my bicycle. I'd have to do something artsy with it (not that difficult, but potentially pricey) and I'd have to either get a rack for my rear end or be able to fit it in my car.
Have been doing a lot of research with regards to food. Planning on taking a single drinks cooler (borrowing Mom's skinny cooler for that) and one dry-ice-and-frozen-water-bottle cooled large cooler for the frozen stuff. Foods that can be cooked simply, just-add-water style. Pancake mix, cream of wheat, pasta, rice, vacuum-sealed and frozen pre-cooked foods. Canned food, maybe. Definitely some pre-cooked bacon. Omnom.
And then, after Burning Man, I am going to Colorado for NanDesuKan! :D Probably not much time for visiting in between, and family is first priority outside of the con itself.
Unless things change, I'll be having to leave early (Monday after con) and cut my last visit (going to see Nii-san on my way home) shorter than I'd like, because my court date for this stupid parking ticket is on the 17th of September and it's a long drive home.
I might be able to figure out a solution that doesn't involve cutting my vacation short, though. We'll just have to see.
I think that's about all the ramble I have for tonight, boys and girls. See ya around!
