City Living

Old friends and new...... If you are attending Burning Man this year, feel free to comment or message me with your location, any events or things of interest, or places and times you are playing music.

I will be with my old new paltz, new york/california pals and some others right next to Pink Mammoth. (Pink Mammoth is a San Francisco-based, well-established yet unofficial party spot with a pink bar, serious dancefloor, daily packed happy hour, and house music. It is usually at 8:30 and G).

Get a teenytiny notebook, keep track of the happs and where people are at, and slip it in your fanny pack with your altoids....

Our crew will be next to/behind Pink Mammmoth, at approximately 8:40 and G or G/H. Unofficially, we are Camp in the Cut, or the Infinity Crew. Just keep your eyes peeled for weirdo pretty people in the shade, and listen for lots of laughing. And strong, male accents from New York. (Yeah....I know.... them's the breaks....)

Our more exotic amenities include but are not limited to:

homemade tv film set with a backdrop to film Charlie-Rose-esque interviews, hosted by Roscoe

strange large pick-up-sticks like structure, with fabric somehow involved

graffiti wall

cuddle pool

lots of homemade absynthe, tried and true



My personal endeavors this year are modest and reasonable. They include:

-Bartending Thursday around 4pm or so at the Burning Man Radio station, right next to the DMV. This is in conjunction with The Billion Bunny March.

-Putting up alot of my poetry. Debut of internet-unfriendly pieces including "Paper or Drop" and "Where the Good Green Grows" along with the usual R-rated and comedic classics. Poetry will be taped to the outside of portapotties. Especially at 8:30 and G.

- Tequila. I will be bringing alot of great blanco tequila, so if you need a pick-me-up, you know who to find. (Delicious juice optional)

- Postcards with a Metropolis-themed piece of my writing called "I am What I am". I will be giving them out, and I will have stamps, can mail them for you from Black Rock City post office, and then they will have a postmark from Black Rock City. Bring an address of a friend who can't make it this year.....Or send one to your grandma......

- Firehooping with my broken firehoop

Finally, we will also hopefully have a tiny camp on the opposite side of the playa, between 2 and 4. It will be called Bizarro World and contrary to my main place, it will be for serious, desperate partying measures only. This will be a party survival camp with little to no creative visual arts, save the flesh of hot, intoxicated bodies. Box wine and granola bars will reign as Queen and King here.

So, that's it as of now. I would love to see you! And please, message me or comment about where you will be or what happenings you are looking forward to being around for
