Meet the Beavers

I'll be gone next week, off to play in the dust with about 40,000 other folks. Yep, it's Burning Man, and yep, it's awesome. This will be my fourth foray into the intense, insane, trying and magical experience in the third largest city in Nevada. Why I go is a complicated question that is really best answered over cheap beers in a dark and cozy bar on the edge of nowhere. But the easy answer is that I go for authenticity- to witness the beauty of people expressing themselves in whatever way is most confronting and enticing, to be a part of the exploration of identity and personal freedom.
