\"Burning<\/a>
Burning Man Dragon Vehicle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No, I am not going to Burning Man. I did visit an exhibit of their costumes, vehicles and ephemera at the Oakland Museum of California with my sorority alumna group last week. I was really fascinated by the vehicles and the costumes. I also learned a lot about Burning Man, the organization, in general.<\/p>\n

It was hard to get close enough to the costumes to see what they were made of. It did make me want to construct an elaborate Halloween costume.<\/p>\n

Mostly, I took a photo of the dragon because I thought the YM would like it (he did!). I looked closer, however and found that it was made of common household metals – like muffin pans and cake tins. I couldn’t help but think of a group of mothers getting together and building this thing. It looks very fierce from afar, but close up I saw a message of home and kitchen, a place in which to take refuge.<\/p>\n

Another vehicle looked like an old fashioned theater. I wasn’t tall enough to really see inside. I, also, couldn’t get close enough to see if they were showing movies, but I loved the plush seating, the flocked wallpaper and the aura of one of the grand old theaters.<\/p>\n

\"Big<\/a>

Finally, I couldn’t help thinking of one of those old bikes with the huge front wheel when I saw the last vehicle.<\/p>\n

It also made me think of a Big Wheel. I couldn’t tell if one person could drive it or if three people would need to work together to drive it.<\/p>\n

There were others, of course. I didn’t take pictures of everything there. It is an interesting exhibit and well worth the time to visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
