Burner History: '01, '02, '03, '04 Camped independently the first two years and with Pyramid Scheme (part of SoLo Collective village) in '03. Will be camping with Cafe Camp in '04. I volunteer at the cafe - stop by for a great cup of morning wake up juice! I also created "Spice Island" in '02, a mailbox loaded with spices you may have forgotten in packing for the Playa, look for it at Pyramid Scheme. I've been part of the AZ Burners since returning from the Playa in '01 and created "Circle of Life" mask performance for the '02 Witch Wells event. Unfortunately, work often interferes with my attendance at AZ events like Decomp and the regional burn. Burning Man is a good reminder for me to stay creative, and to not hold on too tightly to anything. My life in the default world is shared with furry purrs - Malakai and Panda and a rich plethora of friends and family who help make the journey enjoyable and full of growth opportunities. My "paycheck" currently comes from event coordination in the performing arts. My life is enhanced with a wide variety of interest in hobbies, including travel and art.
