In the coming weeks, I will be traveling to Nevada to the Burning Man event. In the past, I’ve been very coy about attending this event due to others’ opinions. Enduring the comments of “why go” and “it doesn’t seem like a Vicente thing to do”, I always answer “why not” with a smile. Since being exposed to it through a friend with very elaborate pictures of the event, I was intrigued. I felt it was something I should experience and a place I needed to go. Some may call it a hippie festival, an art expo or even a Woodstock version of a sex and drug party. Regardless of what many may think, I am going to experience the creative process in an unrestricted environment in the middle of the Nevada desert. It’s a place for people to be innovative, and let loose their fantasies and desires. Don’t worry; I’ll have plenty of photos to share with you all. If interested, check out the burning man website at http://www.burningman.com/.
Hi Vincente,
I went to Burning Man a couple of years ago and I would go back. There are many things said about it, but you bring yourself and make what you want from it. I didn’t know I would be so moved by the austere beauty of the desert and light. The week I was there was a full moon. The other thing is the inventiveness, fun and humor of the art projects, the structures people put up and all generated by solar. The diversity of people makes it a place to explore. My friend from London and several from New York are going. My daughter is a Burner of 6 years. It is to be experienced. You will love it.
All the best, Kelly

Hi Vicente,
Good that you have the confidence to be true to yourself, and to heck what others think.
Enjoy, and will look forward to seeing your pix and hearing about the experience.

I turn 53 in October and I was just saying earlier today it is one of those things I feel I need to experience.
