Hey it was great to meet and hang out with you guys at the burning man. You and your friends were all super nice. Such an eclectic and unique mixture of people to add to the experience.

I found also something else
I don't know what happened with the discussion that Iguana had with an Adam fan but he wrote another post and clarified that Adam bought clothes for burning man and I don't know why we haven't seen this yet. It was written on August the 26th

New report about Adam singing at Brooke's wedding --
He sang an original song!!
9.5.11 posted by Lulu 2365
(according to lisaloopner at AWOP)
I finally got my brother to part with info about Brooke's wedding, from the groom's father. (My brother is his bartender.) Someone said Twitter already knew it was at Thomas Fogarty in Woodside, CA, about 45 mins from me on the SF peninsula. Adam sang an original song that he wrote for her. And sounded "awesome." It gets fuzzy here: either Adam sang two songs, one acapella and one with Tommy's guitar, or he sang one song that had both elements.

Live from Burning Man:
The Temple Burning
9.4.11 posted by momtomany
I am here, and the Temple has burned.
The music playing earlier is by Erik Satie; Gymnopedie No. 1.
I know there has been talk of best songs. This is called by some "The Most Beautiful Song in the World".
Lyrics have been written (not by Satie, the French composer) and they are beautiful.
"From My First Moment"
From my first moment you gave me wings
Let me fly and believed in my dreams
From that first moment you cherished me so
The journey through life would be hard without you
You gave me all I have and all I know
From my first moment you would be there
In your arms lay the strength I now bear
From that first moment each day I have you
As seasons they change but your heart stays the same
You gave me all I have and all I know
From my first moment as time goes by
We drift endlessly through open skies
My journey through life would be hard without you
You gave me all I have and all I know.
For tonight I am used up. My heart and soul are in a beautiful place, but need rest!
My vow is to be long-winded tomorrow; and answer as many Burning Man questions as I can!
There is no better place for Adam to move about unnoticed than Black Rock City.
Drying my tears of amazement - there is so much love in this Universe! I feel your energy and I promise it made the Playa a place of discovery and joy.

And posted 9.5.11.....[/b]
Good Morning!!
The round tent-like structure is known as "Center Camp". It's laid out just beyond the portal at 6 o'clock. Inside, there's artwork, lots of couches and pillows for relaxing - away from the sun's direct glare, small stages for performances and interactive 'lectures' (This is where Adam was part of the Big Black Man Show..), a center area where acrobats and yoga artists stretch and perform, and a long counter that extends about 1/3 of the way around, serving lemonade, tea, and coffees.
I never saw Adam at Center Camp, but I think I may (I stress, MAY!) have seen him yesterday (Sunday) morning!
It was before sunrise, and I was on my bike, beginning my ride across the Playa to the Temple to see the sun come over the Black Rock mountains. As I left the 9 o'clock portal and crossed onto the Playa, I passed two bicyclists. The one closest to me rode tall; wearing a dark jacket, with his dark hair very free and sorta long (like Scotland). He had the silliest, broadest grin, and happiest expression! "Good morning!" - we said in unison. Riding next to him was a smaller man, with a scarf or hoodie wrapped around his head, so only a little blond hair showed. He was laughing, too - - it was as if I rode by as they were sharing something really funny! They looked so goofy and happy I thought "No" . . . and then I was certain "Yes!!"
For a moment I considered turning around. But, what could I have done to enhance his experience, his morning's color by pedaling after him? So, the moment evaporated - like art - like the fleeting, connecting, momentary gaze I shared with a Burner . . . whose name, I think, was Adam.

“The 100 Greatest Songs of All Time”
9.5.11 by Q3
There were 360 nominations! And the ballots are prepared. Since there were some many nominations, I have broken it up into two ballots.
The first ballot is here: qtrial.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_1G04JqlxQxOdEd6
I will post the link to the second ballot at 11:59PM 9.6.11 so that everyone has time to respond to the first ballot.
Here are the rules for “The 100 Greatest Songs of All Time”:
1. A Member can nominate up to 5 songs in any order, by posting them in the 9.3.11 News Thread before 11:59PM Pacific Time on 9.3.11.
2. Songs nominated must be composed since 1900.
3. Nominate only songs with English language lyrics.
4. Great songs are defined by their quality, not by sales and chart rankings, but a “Greatest Song” cannot be totally obscure.
