ahem; Budd and Bunnie are going home, contrary to what the legendary poet Emmerson would have us to believe, it is possible. 2011 found these dusty playa vets in a regroup, recovery, reorganize mode due to the closing of their soul food restaurant in central Phoenix as result of the dire economy. Said Budd "...we put our everything into that space, and as many lessons that we learned we had no regrets, we'd do it all over again..." and to wit Bunnie adds "... Our only regret was we didn't budget into our plan our Burningman Tickets etc., we were devastated when we came up short..." that was then this is NOW!

This will be their 5th burn and their daughter Indigo's 3rd and collectively, first time being so close to center camp and ALL OF THE ACTION! In the past they've camped usually out as far as H or I, and their biggest joy has been their gift of cooking for all of their playa neighbors and anyone within screaming distance who will respond to the shouts of "Soup's On" or the classic "Come and Get It!" Says Bunnie "...we just love the communal feel of the table and the nurturing effect that a meal has on ones soul..." as a mother of four fabulous children who are all departing the nest this Summer, she knows a thing or two about nurturing. Budd also provides more insight "...who doesn't love waking up to the smell of bacon sizzling on the grill, and knowing that there are gonna be some fluffy hotcakes and eggs that are pillow soft waiting to greet their sleepy head eyes on the other end..." "Around the table, when we sup with one another is where the greatest stories are told an where we truly learn about ourselves ..."
Man are we pumped!
