General outlook on life: Choose your own adventure! But take responsibility for what you manifest.

How many burns? (list years):
2004: The Vault of Heaven & 2007: The Green Man.

Favorite BRC memories: 2008 burns (the man + Crude Awakening) from the Jackson Junk with my brothers,
sunrises at the temple, The Party Formerly Known as the Prince Party in the Boogie Pyramid, deep-playa cruising on bike, dancing to DISORIENT DJs, discovering Bassnectar and the Glitch Mob for the first time, Hekter's dusty-chap playa side-shuffle and fuckleberry pickle sauce session!

Least-favorite BRC memories: my very first dust storm was rather surprising -- I remember frantically wondering "what the fuck am I doing here?!?"

Playa garb you feel most yourself in:
pig-tailed purple wig

What 3 items from your BRC funbox is most essential?
kite, soundstick and picture frames

If you had a superpower, what would it be? to soar above the land like a raven!

Top 3 favorite Michael Jackson songs?
Human Nature, Blame it on the Boogie, My Lovely One -- aaaaannnnddd I Can't Help It, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, State of Shock, Shake Your Body, I'll Be There, They Don't Care About Us, Jam, Smooth Criminal, Scream... (MJ Tribute mix posted here.)

What is pent-up inside of you waiting for the right opportunity to come out? Being a father [
update: don't worry ladies, I'm not looking to fulfill this urge on the playa this year!]

Your one wish for humanity: that we would practice compassion and empathy towards all lifeforms

Hopes for BM '09?/Fears for BM 09? My greatest hope and my greatest fear are one in the same -- I have been reeling from a traumatic breakup with my fiance and her son for many months now and I hope that the playa will provide me healing from my disorienting grief. I am both excited for that release (at the temple?) and afraid of what it might look like.
