Q: Who is the Cookieman and why is he giving away money?
A: In the fall of 2008 some guy brought 526 fresh baked chocolate chip cookies to the Playa del Fuego festival in Odessa, Delaware. He proceeded to make LOTS of friends giving them away all weekend. He earned himself the name “Cookieman.” In the spring of 2009 he and his minions baked up 777 CCCs and gave them away at PDF. More friends were made. This got Cookieman thinking. “Maybe I should sell these cookies at my pizza shop” he said to himself. But Cookieman just couldn’t bring himself to charge people for the cookies…even at his pizza shop in far away NH. “The cookies have been a gift and should remain a gift.” Somewhere in the summer of 2009 while planning his Burning Man trip Cookieman got the idea to sell the cookies for $1.25 each and save the $1 profit to go into a scholarship fund to send one lucky east coast burner to Burning Man 2010! Thus making each cookie sold a most fantastic gift!
The average cost of a burning man trip from the east coast is about $1000. With ticket cost, flight, food, &supplies...it’s easy to spend that and more… trust us! So 1000cookies gets you $1000! So why not 1000 questions on the application for this scholarship?
Yup…1000 questions! These questions were collected mostly at Burning Man 2009 and at PDF Fall 2009 and some collected from friends and relatives and anyone else that would pay attention. You can imagine the ‘interesting’ nature of some of these questions. Basically the only requirement for a questions was that it end with a ? So yeah.. good luck!

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful....Thank you cookieman.
This is so awesome, I think it's worth posting to Twitter a few times to make sure East Coast Burners get this info.
Since you <3 comments more than bacon, I'd like to say that I'm 74 questions in and pumped! Around 70 per day and I'll be finished in no time. Some of them are perplexing to say the least, lol. Like, Phantom Tollboth kind of stuff. Love it! Looking very forward to the submission :) This may be my first burning man!
This Year will be my first burn, I'm super excited to take part in such a spirtual awakening. i will be handing out seeds of all sorts in hopes that fellow burners will want to grow their own food and live off of there own resources. (not at burning man but for the rest of the year) best wishes go out to those trying to purchase tickets i know times are tought but this experience i've been told is something you'll never regret attending.
