Where do you call home? New Bedford, MA

Been to Burning Man before? Nope. Pop my cherry, PP. :)

Why Burning Man? I've heard wonderful things from other people's experiences there. After checking it out online and reading through it all, I decided I'd give it shot. It feels like a good time for a perception-changing experience for me. I hope to contribute to the community that is Burning Man, and bask in it's environment of open minds and free spirits.

Art Projects? I'm not much of an artisan, but I do have plenty of experience in the performing arts. I am directing a musical for the first time ever this spring, so I hope to spend my "relax" time working on the production.

Why PolyParadise? I've been researching polyamory for the past 10-12 months and it seems like a solution to my problems with how society portrays the "happy, married couple". Since I know very few Polyamorous people personally, I figured PP would be a great way for me to see these ideals working for real people.

My Life in 143 Words: I spread myself a bit thin when it comes to interests, so it's usually just whatever is in front of me at the time. I have an abnormal desk job that I've had a comfortable niche at for the past 5 years. I've been in a committed relationship for the past 3 years with a woman who is supportive of my new-found outlook on life (but would never show up at BM; she hates camping and heat). I'd like to get up, leave this area and move to a nicer portion of the world, but it takes time to prepare for such a move. For now, I enjoy my hometown area.
