Where do you call home?
Planet Earth is as far as I can narrow it down. Just moved to Boulder CO, only till December, then probably to Bay area in California... I have lived in 50 places in 54 years and don’t see an end in sight yet. Maybe California will see me linger longer?

Been to Burning Man before? When?
Recovering virgin, my first was 07

Camped with PolyParadise Before?
My first with all of you

Why Burning Man?
I went in 07 for the purpose of experiencing the freedom of expression, and to witness the beauty of others expressing themselves, to give my brain more reasons to let go of the self-judgments that keep us from expressing the weird passions that reflect who we really are... And release the buried creative genius that is in me, as it is in each of us. WOW, did I get what I came for! Things have totally changed for me, getting into my artistic side like a monster, and opening to all kinds of deep desires, and becoming more and more authentic every day. Drumming started that for me years ago, and Burning Man was a great leap further along the road.

Why PolyParadise?
Looking forward to connecting with other Poly hearts that have more experience at being poly than I have. I have for years discovered that one of my greatest joys is knowing that my honey is in bliss, even if she is experiencing it with someone else... That is how I discovered I didn’t fit the norms. And yeehah! Calling me weird is the greatest complement you can pay me.

My Loverbuns Dhiana can't make it this year, but I look forward to sharing every detail about every juicy hug and snuggle I give and receive. And I have started offering snuggles without sexual agenda as therapy to women I meet, to offer unconditional love for its healing, and to feel the trust they offer which is healing for me -- topic of conversation perhaps? Hoping to find snuggle buddies on the Playa this year for sure!

Volunteer on the Playa?
I handed out thousands of glowstick on the playa at night last year, and misted people in the ice lines in the day. This year I look forward to helping with the Carcass Wash, drumming for the Burn with Solar Flare, drumming in the Playa Band, and misting again at the ice lines. Giving is my greatest joy!!!
