Been to Burning Man Before?
Yes.. 2002 thru 2018
(missed 2011)

Why Burning Man?
Because I need it.

I need some kind of time AWAY from the default world. Away from bills, cell phones, computers, schedules, responsibilities (except for those I chose), people I see all the time, money, fast food, cars and driving, laundry, getting dressed, and having to worry about what other people think of me.

I need time WITH the Burning Man World. Time with friends, art, music, dancing, biking, laughing, drinking, falling down, dust, crazy people, amazing burns, and people who either like me or don't give a shit about me.

I am the camp Garbage Czar.. meaning I monitor, sort, package and distribute the nearly 2 tons of trash that our camp produces every year.  Not the most glamorous job, but it is mine.
