Wednesday 27th April - Monday 2nd May
2011
Ok Ok, we know its been aaaaages since our last communication, doesn't mean
things haven't been happening though, we've been busily getting our ducks in
a row. And all of a sardine, AfrikaBurn the 5th incarnation 2011, is but a
mere five and a half months away!...which is good, because it's the first
time we've had a whole year between events, and I have to say I can feel the
pull of the desert very strongly.
So onto things...onto stuff.

gets into your everything, from every bit of your car and camping equipment
to the innermost parts of your psyche, its all about the substance.... Ok so
we know that you are intrigued now so go read more about it at
