Camped with PolyParadise Before?
Yes. This will be our eighth year! This year me and Knotch will be labeled as the Kitchen Biatches….a new challenge, but since we love the kitchen so much, we will make a good team, and make the Kitchen Great!

Why Burning Man? Wow... where can I start. It started about 20 years ago when I hooked up with Knotch...he had the strong desire to go...and the desire built up and built up and then we finally went in 2008...we have got it! There is no why, or who...or where, or what...words cannot describe it. The why is in the inner soul of the very existence...and now that I have went 7 years, it is a way of life now.

Volunteer on the Playa? I am pretty sure that helping set up Poly Paradise and helping with the tear down constitutes volunteer on the Playa. In 2016 I also volunteered for the Pre-pre event for 5 days with The Census Lab.

PolyParadise Favorite Moments? The People!!!!

Toughest thing: is definitely the bio...but it was tough leaving the playa too.

Best thing: the minute we lock our outside gate and begin our travel up there

Burning Man Advice: Leave expectations and judgments at home! And pick up after yourself at all times!!!! And plant a smile on your face at all times. Smile and nod a lot.
