Oh, The Places You’ll Burn

I’ve been thinking about Burning Man a lot today. Its only two months away now, which is going to fly by. For those that aren’t familiar with this event, I’d recommend this video. Its become a bit overplayed with the Burning community, but if you’ve never seen it or been there, its a pretty good way to start. Some attribute the release of this particular video with the skyrocketing ticket sales of this year.

I’d like to write more later, but for now I’ll leave it at that.

Clucking Blossom Festival

The summer festivals have kicked off with a small but lovely event called Clucking Blossom. Its an all free festival put on by the college radio station and various other contributers. Along with a variety of bands from across Alaska, they feature an art walk, which is displayed along the forest trails.

Its only one day, from noon to midnight, and unfortunately I had to work that evening so I was only able to attend during the slower part of the event.

Regardless, its a great excuse to get outside and soak in the friendly Fairbanks vibes.

We had a delicious picnic including giant veggie sandwiches, mashed spicy lentils and strawberry lemonade. Yum!

I made a new friend who surprisingly LOVED my lentils.

 

Look at that luscious grass!
