There is a moment that occurs before a burn event has officially started that you realize that it has in fact already started, you are there: it has that feel.  Everything is magic.  Ordinary surroundings become hyperreal. That happened for me last night when I found myself practicing karaoke in an empty house. There is another moment that occurs once you are at an event.  It is the moment when you realize, in the midst of a peak experience, that everything was worth it, all the work, all the burns gone wrong in ages past, all the reasons why other people don’t manage to quite be able to do it. That happened for me tonight when I learned a new trick on the gong.  I got an intermittent lovely overtone I hadn’t heard before then ended up figuring out somehow that I could make it make a clear sustained tone if I waved the striker in a circle around the center of the gong parallel to its surface WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GONG AT ALL. I could get a loud sustained beautiful overtone with minimal background sound from other tones.  I don’t think I’m doing it justice here, anyway if I can do it again and you see it live you will NO WOT M TALKIN ABOWT BEEYATCH!
