Why Burning Man? It attracts for several reasons: the encouragement to be and express my open and honest and loving self, the nudity (I'm a nudist), the fact that 30,000 can Leave No Trace, a chance to hang/relate/share with special sometimes like-minded people, the challenge to create something or at least steal someone else's great idea (i.e. cuddle pool), and yes the opportunity to feel jealous and insecure as I see my lover wander away wondering if he will ever return

Playa Name: Kingsley (previously  “Hummingbird.” Considering “Mr. T” or “Mystical” or “Misty Cal”)

 

Where do you call home?– Sandy Eggo, CA

Been to Burning Man before? When? Yes – ‘01, ‘02

Camped with PolyParadise Before? Yes - ‘01, ‘02

Why Burning Man? – Within hours of arriving in ’01 I knew this was the best party the earthlings had ever thrown.  It is the most creative social environment I’ve experienced.  People express themselves and the community generates reality from the fabric of dream consciousness. Every sunrise is a new Beginning of Time linked to all other Beginnings, a new opportunity to create the world.  This gathering generates magic.

Volunteer on the Playa? – Co- Trash Czar (with Cecile) last year, if that counts, and roving MOOP collector at the end of b-man 2001 (though this is within the call of ‘ordinary’ duty of BRC citizens, I am proud of it).

Camp Specialties – Cooking in a major dust storm (along with Julie and Cecile).  Possibly the fastest 40-yard sprinter of the group. 

Poly Paradise Favorite Moments – Having dinner in Polywomb during that dust storm, whoever was there simply staying for dinner with us.  Standing and watching Human Carcass Wash with Steve and being filled with wonder and love just seeing people being themselves.  Washing a man’s feet and realizing its biblical significance.  Washing a woman’s hair while she breastfed her infant. 

Art Projects? – FreeJammin.  Also, currently collecting narratives (please SUBMIT!) of mystical and paranormal experiences which I plan to narrate over music and to broadcast in some way (radio free burning man?).  To submit: see message I posted to this list recently.
