It's incredible how quickly time passes. I've been back from this epic experience for what is it a week and a half? The fleetingness of our experiences makes them incredibly beautiful and tinged with a little sorrow for we're always saying goodbye while we trying to say hello to right now. This photo was from a few hours before the burn on Saturday. I had spent the day happily recovering from dancing to way-too-much-dubstep all night until sunrise and ventured out later into the afternoon's dust storm to practice yoga in deep playa. I spent the burn with my dear friend Shana and her lovely crew from SF and LA. We were all pretty joyfully happy like children watching the man burn down, it was exciting! One of the bestest things about BM is the wonderfully high quality folks you meet. It really attracts many kind, open, and beautiful people. So since I've been back I've been busy planting the seed amongst the many friends here who would dig the crap out of burning man :) and especially the theme for next year 'Rites of Passage'. This is a very timely and apt theme - I am pretty darn excited the transformation within ourselves and within our cultures. So we have a few ideas and much will have to do with the healing and transformational power of music. And with regard, since I've been home I have already been back in studio for three days, played a benefit gig for our Rivers and Oceans, and started discussing the future of our folk-blues circus show of Siddhartha. I have definitely returned from Black Rock City inspired to pursue my greatest pleasures ... and music has been great too ;)

Rick, I was walking by your camp on Thursday and struck up a conversation with Amy. She was extremely kind and invited me in to have some hors d'oevres with her your other camp members. I must say Thank You again for all the generous hospitality and the fantastic food and conversation. That was an evening I will never forget. Marty Himes
