sitting in the reno airport wiwth gabe and my brother billy. We’re easing back in to the world after a week offline at burning man . The plane is going to be full of  people from burning man. The mood is pretty subdued… if you havent heard, there was a horrible tragedy at the burn last night. A guy ran from the audience and threw himself into the fire.. right in front of us…  despite the attemots of the fire fighters to stop him. 

gabe was part of the vermont conclave fire troop and was inside the burn perimiter.. he was on of the closest people to what hppened….  it was so surreal. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing… the scene keeps playing in my mind

Ive been tryign to learn more abotut he guy.. why did he do this.. what was troubling him so much that  he woudl want to take his own life in such a horrible and public way ..  ? there are reports on news channels that tel us abotut he guys name, age, and his family, but none say ‘why’. The pictures if wh At happend are too raw or me to see again,

my heart goes out to him and his family.. and all the other folks who saw it happen

it is going to take me a while to process this.. ill post some pictures and stoies from the week once i can make a little more sense of what happened

 

nite all, nite sam
