The Shirt Goes to Burning Man

Alan Campbell, noted photographer and vineyard owner sends in a couple of fantastic pics of him at the Burning Man. In the shirt.

I think the shirt looks right at home on the playa. I’m happy to report that Alan didn’t get ejected by a mob of angry artists for attempting to commercialize the burn.

This was an interesting year over at Burning Man. A guy actually went out and set the wooden effigy ablaze early this year and was arrested for “arson”. Then there were killer dust storms all last weekend that made life on the playa less than hospitable. You can read all about the arson investigation and more over at laughing squid.

Alan, who is currently planting a 4 acre pinot vineyard in Graton (located about 5 minutes from our place in the Green Valley AVA), looks to have had a good time despite this year’s challenges. He’s also working on a vineyard development blog and should have it up and running soon. I’m especially looking forward to checking out the photos he’ll be posting. His shots are sure to reek of professionalism.

Thanks Alan.

In other winery news, crush is halfway over. I’m wearing my “Parker’s Bitch” tee with pride and spoofulating like there’s no tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
