BloodyMaryLand

The map for this year’s Burning Man is up. It was done by Lisa Hoffman (who also created last year’s) and you can see a larger version of it here:

To get the encapsulated history of the Bloody Mary, consult the wiki. What makes the difference between the run-of-the mill and the BloodyMaryland bloody mary (henceforth “BMbm”)? Why should you traverse the suburbs for liquid refreshment? There is no singular answer.

Love?

Concern for fellow man?

A devotion to craftsmanship?

In the Robert Altman classic, M.A.S.H. (not the eponymous emasculated Alan Alda vehicle, mind you), Trapper John suggests :

“Yes, but a man can’t really savor a martini without an olive, otherwise it just doesn’t quite make it.”

Likewise, if you’re hauling all manor of debris into the desert, why skimp on the requisite constituents for a satisfactory cocktail experience? In the space required for a medium sized cooler of cheap domestic beer, the BloodyMaryland crew stashes that extra mile. We’ve taken that recipe and given it nuance, character, and a hefty dollop of Old Bay seasoning.

Simply put, the BMbm is Bespoke at its finest. We are the Savile Row of morning alcoholism, where your demand for the finest fashion meets the skill and versatility of a professional hand. We individually craft our bloodies to your specifications, taking care to address the individual needs of discerning burners. If you don’t want it, we’ll take it out. If there’s something we could add more of, we’ll do our best. We will slave in the heat to provide you some modicum of cool comfort. When the booze is not flowing, the conversation is.

Look for us in 2008! (we take a year of between burns to recharge the Awesome)
