Nothing can really be said to describe what I experienced out in the desert..but dammit I'm gonna try I left my house at 4am to meet up with people didn't know to travel to a place I had never seen to experience things I couldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams. It took about 20 hours on the road to reach our final destination. I was greeted by campmates that had been working their asses off for days nonstop and they first thing they offered me (besides a shot of alcohol) was acceptance; unconditional love and support right of the bat...to me, a stranger...a tent full of burner clothes was set up and provided for me. So many people were looking out for me. I was overwhelmed. I know what you are wondering..what about the sex and drugs? Message me in private if you care to hear some devious tales... In all seriousness, it is so much more than that. I have never felt so generous and humble in my life. I have never felt so self reliant and helpless. I have never felt so goddamn hot and cold. Every single type of person was out there. I tried to plan things out there, but each night was a random adventure brought on by a single thought, or utterance of a word, or a shiny light in the distance. Never in my lifetime would I have thought that through chaos and entropy could exist a city where freedom of thought and expression thrived. On paper, it shouldn't work. But it does, beautifully. Where else can I be told I have a beautiful smile and I'm a darktard asshole within 30 seconds, while riding a bike with a drum in one hand and a pee jug in the other? Europe? Maybe.. I could go on and on.. but I won't.. I'm gonna go enjoy some hot running water..
