Been to Burning Man before? When?
2010 camped solo, camped with Poly Paradise 2011.

Who I Am - I grew up in New Jersey, moved to northern California in 2009 after visiting for a music festival, Since then I have lived in the bay area and in Oregon. I'm going back to the s.f. bay after the burn...

Why Burning Man? To meet people, have experiences, share experiences, learn things, have fun. The burn is an exploration of the human potential. Just like a psychedelic experience, burning man is a "new perspective" that will change how one reflects on things during the other 51 weeks of the year. That, and I really enjoy the music, colorful lights, and the fires!

Why PolyParadise? Camped here last year and it was what I expected and desired from a camp: a warm group of people getting along and having fun. Comfy and drama-free! That, and the whole Polyamorous thing is one of the better ideas humans have come up with.

Outside world? I was studying biochemistry but ditched graduate school before they gave me my degree (Philadelphia is not a friendly place like the west coast). My life consists of trying to find a sweet science job and I'm working on a book about pesticides, nutrition, microbes, the mind, mushrooms, physiology, yoga, philosophy, gardening, human culture, politics, everything I can think of, pretty much... all my thoughts, feelings, concerns, and desires... Trying to stop the bad guys!
