Madeline and Boris met me at FJM to unload Unaverz and haul the sound equipment back up to American Steel. Along the way Boris taught me about Port (ie: left) and Starboard along with the red right returning on the buoy. Certainly helps to know all this stuff when strapping our sound gear to lower it …

unSCruz is without a doubt my favorite off-playa Burning Man event. It is based on and adheres to the 10 principles with the decomodification and gifting economy separating it from all other events I have been to. The volunteers were amazing – I had particular good interactions with Valarian, Sass and Bushfire. I kept hearing …
