In words:

I’m sick, but getting better. I’m bruised, but getting better. I’m cut, but getting better. It’s good to be out of the fucking desert. 2πr somewhat worked. A lot of people came up to me and told me how it was their favorite thing on the playa. We may or may not have breached our contract, I’ll know hopefully later today. I’d like to make it work the way it was designed. I kept saying while I was there that I won’t be back next year. Maybe that’s true. Maybe what I need to do is not be a part of something NEW next year, and not kill myself before I even hit the playa. I’m gonna go take another shower and a sudafed.
