So Cal Decom 2008

We attended the 2008 Southern California Burning Man Decompression Event this last weekend, which was a lot of fun, but not as cool as either last year's Decomp nor of course Burning Man.

The site was nice at "Telemagica" out in Jucumba, but it had a few problems - first, it wasn't "planar", it was spread out and you had to hike through the shrubs to get from one point to another. Second, it was inclined, so the Art Cars weren't present. Finally, it seems like there were fewer art installations then at other venues. All that said, we still had a lot of fun exploring, communing with others, dancing into the wee hours of the night, eating, being friendly, and having a fun ol time!

Cast of characters for the weekend:
* Sheri - our usual baby sitter
* Crystal - Sheri's daughter. Since Sheri couldn't get off work early on Friday, Crystal watched the kids.
* Steve - A heck of a guy that we met last year at Decom. Has three kids in San Marcos
* Laura - a heck of a gal that we met last year prior to Decom, and hung out with at Decom and managed to attract Steve like a moth to a flame...

So, since we wanted an Adult Weekend, on Friday morning, Barbara took Delilah, picked up Crystal, and drove to Steve's, where Crystal watched Delilah and Steve's three kids for the weekend. Then Barbara drove back down here to meet me, where I was packing and cleaning RV, we drove off, and met Steve and Laura that had seperately rented an RV. Whew!

Some pictures:
