2Crispy (Jay)

A retired F.O.G. (Fat Old Guy); (Fun Old Guy); (Freaky Old Guy); (Flatulent Old Guy - but only if I eat vegan chili) - all of the above. 57 years old, one of the Boyz Frum Illinoyz. Last year (2013) was my first burn and I brought a TikiBar to PolyParadise for our Camp to enjoy. The Temple had the biggest impact on me personally. This year, my second burn, we will have improved "Oasis" Bar and a fun "PaDrinko" machine. Also I will be camping in a YURT this time with Chicago Steve / Po / Plan B or whatever playa name he settles on this year.

We will be arriving early to help set up camp. Friends with Honest John and Mistress Barney.

Visited Electric Forest in Michigan in June and attended a few local Chicago Burner events including the Chiditarod. I have a non burner wife and two great recently married adult kids who hope to join me on the Playa in 2015. My daughter is an artist living in Seattle and my son manages a bar and continues with school in Chicago.

I enjoy building stuff and helping out. In default world I am involved with the Shriners and Shriners Hospitals for Children. I had a great career in healthcare management and consulting and now enjoy charitable and artistic pursuits, motorcycles & travel. I'll be doing the early arrival breakfast on Saturday morning; the PP Chicago dinner on Wednesday night, riding in the Pink Ride on Thursday, helping sling ice at Arctica on Friday & Saturday mornings. A couple Human Carcass Wash shifts are on the agenda as well - and beyond that no more planning - going wherever the fates take me.

I look forward to meeting YOU on the Playa!
