and the color of my boots: rivethead?

[lemasquegris]

I was with a friend last night in a coffee shop in San Rafael, and some stranger sitting there looked at my boots and was like "Hey I really like your boots man!"

They were my military boots with the zipper on the side. They still had playa funk on them.

I responded to him "You know this not the actual color or style of the boots."

To which he said, "Oh, I know, dawg! I'm a rivethead, too! I 'm down with Burning Man, I know the drill!"

I don't know what was odder; the guy thinking all burners are rivetheads, which puts into question his understanding of the term 'rivethead' (I'm not too sure of it, myself) or that this guy was whiter than wonder bread and called me 'dawg'.

This is hurting my brain to process.

I was at the Cafe Valeska, to be exact.

I don't think he was saying that all burners are rivetheads. I think he thought you were rivet, and he observed the playa on your boots.

True. I guess I'm also being a bit prejudiced here, aren't I? I should think nicer thoughts about our kind San Rafaelians. :)

Are you thinking unpure thoughts again?

Now, just to be clear, the Rafaelians are different from the Raelians, right?
