[ufo-poetry][sex][grateful visitors]
Excerpts from the Logbook I left a logbook inside for visitors to write stuff down. At the end of the week almost the whole book was filled. Here is a collection of what the visitors wrote. It's a great snapshot how the burners felt. There was a lot of apreciation for the art - that felt really good to read the many thank-you's. Read it for yourself!

::: STORIES :::
-------------------------------------------------------------
:: wedding
-------------------------------------------------------------
On Thursday Ryan and Willow got married in ufo! I was there
by accident, doing a maintenance call. A friend of theirs
did the official wedding speech, it was an official Nevada
wedding!
:: The vanished cowboy hat
-------------------------------------------------------------
I left my most favorite cowboy hat in the ufo after working
there. Not your usual cowboy hat - but one with a red/yellow
leopard pattern - I got the hat at Piedmonts at Haight street.
When I returned two hours later the hat was gone - I was
really bummed. I left a note in the ufo that I was missing my
hat. Two days later a couple - David and Silke - came to my
camp to bring me my hat!
David: "Someone we don't know gave it to our friends Dan and Lisa
after becoming convinced it had been abandoned by someone,
I believe actually at the UFO. Lisa gave it to my
wife, Silke, who wore it with great pleasure for one or two days,
before Dan and Lisa found your note when they made another
visit to the UFO."
How cool is that... my hat found me!
:: Missing ufo photos...
-------------------------------------------------------------
I took a lot of photos of the ufo - got them developed after
burning man right away. I even digitzed them. I was really
excited to show them my brother Urs, because he helped me
a lot with the construction of the ufo. However, I left them
with my friend Corrie when I traveled back to Switzerland.
I asked her to send me the photos - the post office said it'll
take 5 to 7 days to Switzerland from Berkeley.
Since them they haven't appeared anymore.... The photos never
arrived in Switzerland.
Well - it's like a real ufo: everybody saw it, but nobody
has taken pictures. Some say they were even inside...!
I even got a small note in the Maid Marian BMan mailing, but
still no success...
Update (Dec 2004): Finally, the pics showed up!!! They got returned
to Corrie by US mail after an odysee. This time she used
UPS instead of US Mail, and I received the pictures a few
days later.
