Kathy Tejcka’s Bio:

Burning Man Name: Red Tail

Home: San Jose, CA

Virgin Burner!

Having never been to Burning Man - I have not camped with the Poly Camp in the past. I do have two very dear friends who have, and this is why I/we have chosen to participate in this camp.

Polyamory has been an ongoing theme in my life for 15 years “recognized” and ethical. Prior to this I had multiple experiences of dating more than one. Presently I am primary with my camping partner (Sparky - though he may re-name himself) and am overjoyed to be attending Burning Man.

Otherwise, I am working full time as a Social Worker (LCSW) and professional musician. I play keyboards and sing all over the Bay Area and have been since 2007. Prior to this I lived in Nebraska… enough said.

My motivation for getting myself to Burning Man? Friends and art. One of my band mates (Coyote) has been after me for YEARS to attend and this year I have acquiesced and could not be more excited. My primary is participating in an art car project after experiencing recognition for his own art. I seem to gravitate towards other artists, musicians, intellectuals, nerds and poly folk.
