I had one day back in Vermont before heading to Ohio for my aunts memorial. It happened to be the day that friends Duane (Duane) , Aaron (rebar) and Me (Zatar) were giving a Beta Bytes of knowledge talk on Burning man. The three of us worked togherer to tell a story about he origins, logistics and meaning of burning man. Duane talked about the background. I talked about camp life, culture and little about tech. Aaron finished up wby talking aabout the burning of the man.. and the temple burn He  told a very moving story about fvisiting the Temple and finally being able to say good bye to a good friend of his from ho served with him in Afghanastan. He’d watched his friend unravel and finally commit suicide. He hadn’t found a way to say good bye to his friend… He wrote his friend a long letter and committed it to the burn. and felt the closure he was looking for.. it was a deeply moving story.. and you could tell the audience appreciated it.

I think we gave folks a good overview of burning man and why we go. I think we may have found some like minded folks who would want to go out there with us sometime
