Hey fellas and fellanettes
Just got back from the Burning Man festival out in the Nevada desert and i thought I would post something about it.I have been wanting to go for years and finally was able to make it happen and it way exceeded my expectations.
If you don't know about it,basically, a city of population 50 000 is built in a remote part of the desert in about a week and after the festival no trace is left of it.There is no cellphone reception,no internet and no money.Everything is a gift,so you walk or ride around on a bicycle  and people give you food,water,show you crazy art installations and futuristic inventions.The day is tough to survive-there are all sorts of events going on in the day,but the heat and dust storms are fierce.The nighttime really comes alive with about fifty different parties situated all around the desert camp,performance art,remote controlled giant robot spiders (seriously),crazy post apocalyptic watering holes,moving parties as well:I was on a bus decked out to look like a luminous pirate ship,with a dj on the deck.There is far too much to do and see.

The people are wonderful-there is no aggression and everyone is there to help everyone else,and to create.A little example of what a utopian society would be like.
I met so many creative inspiring eccentric people,i feel pretty good about   the human race right now.I had to leave a day early to get back to the studio in time,but next year i hope to do the whole thing.
Anyhow,I am off to write the last tune for my new record now...wish me luck.
Much love
