Burn the Man!
I just got back from Burning Man. I went out there expecting the best party of my life. I got a little more than I bargained for.
Yes, Burning Man was the biggest and most amazing party of my life. Nothing compares to it. 45,000 get together in the middle of nowhere and build some of the most amazing structures and works of art you have ever seen. In the evening, when the sun sets over the mountains, and the playa lights up a million glowing lights, the place looks like a fairy tale. And it is.
I’ve never been a particularly spiritual person, but this was one of the most profound experiences of my life. People ask me what I mean when I say that and I’m not quite sure how to answer. Maybe it had something to do with the double rainbow I saw over the desert in the middle of a day time dance party. Or maybe it was vision of the temple burn on the last day.
I’ve never been to a place that is so magical. Magic seriously flows through the air. People talk about “flow state” where everything just jives perfectly. That’s kind of how Burning Man was. Everything somehow came together in harmony and with perfect purpose. I really think you have to experience it to understand.
I also met some amazing people. I shared an RV with two great new friends, Jill and Tony. Jill quite possibly has the coolest costumes on the planet. She calls her style “Acid Sex Clown.” I don’t know what that means, but it sounds cool as hell, just like Jill.
I shared most of my time with Laura, my playa companion. We met in the middle of the desert and shared an amazing two days just wandering around and exploring some of the most amazing visuals we’d ever seen. She’s also really hot and wore a bikini most of the time 
Finally, our bus. My best friend Laurent built what is quite possibly the most incredible night club on wheels the world has ever seen. The bus is called Shagadelica and you have to see it to believe it. Nothing gave us more grief or joy than this monster. Everything that could possibly go wrong did. In fact, the engine blew up 30 miles outside of Reno. We had to scramble to find a tow truck to bring it in and had to tow it around on the inside. Despite that, suffice it to say, with all the insane stuff that people build out on the playa, Wired Magazine featured Shagadelica as part of it’s “Best of Burning Man” piece. Just wait until next year when the thing actually works! Check out the rest of my pictures here.
