This is going to be a hard question for some of you...it was for me...pick your favorite Dr. Gonzo moment out of all the Dr. Gonzo moments you've had at Burning Man...!
Mine could be the time the duck (yes, a real, live duck) dropped out of the sky and bounced three times and landed at my feet before honking in terror and flying off (I have witnesses, people!)...or it could be the time I channelled Dorothy Parker the viscious, viscious socialite for the entertainment of those in my Round Table and the disdain of everyone else at the Algonquin that night...or it could be the night we decided that Mechagodzilla ruled the Universe because he had two of the three required components (monkey, robot, dinosaur) to rule the Universe...or the night we summoned the Great Elder God Johnny-on-the-Spot and he possessed one of the portapotties. But its not. Its the night that I saw a totally buff long haired dude in a fur loincloth and fur boots with sword in hand come bolting out of a hut shouting "Ookla! Ariel! Ride!", and he was followed out of the hut by a beautiful black haired girl in a blue bikini and a big guy in a fur suit. And they ran off into the darkness. I had to sit down...in the middle of the road...
Okay..give...Fear & Loathing...give it up Black Rock...

Re: Dr. Gonzo moments...
Sun, November 6, 2005 - 3:47 AMThere were a few for me (and my friends).
One night two friend and I were walking down 10 o' clock. Or at least I think it was 10 o' clock. A guy on a bike comes up behind us and stops in front of us. He asks us if we know how to get to Fetish and Ego. We tell him that those two never intersect. So he asks us how to get to Ego and 4:30 or something like that. So we start to explain to him. "make a left right here on fetish" Then in mid sentence he takes off in the complete opposite direction. Off into nothingness.
I have to think about the other ones...
