WooHoo, another one.

Awesome, it's great to see a fellow Utahn on here. I have many friends from Utah who joined us in our camp for the 2009 burn, but I have no idea how well we are represented in the other nearly 50k people that were there. It's nice to see that there are more of us. :)

Utah is pretty well represented. Disproportionately, even. I think if you're weird in Utah, you are so screamingly far from the mormon norm that you're going to take any opportunity to play with your "tribe."

This theory is brought to you by someone who never finished a collage socialogy course.

I live in Ogden, and so so several other burners. Utah has a large enough presence there was a Transformation: Beyond Zion village this year which took up an entire block, with BassCamp providing the very loud music . I could name half a dozen other Utah camps; I call Hushville home on the playa.

We haven't had our Decompression yet this year, so stay tuned to element11.org.

SF Decompression is on This Sunday and I plan to wear my finest. Went last year and had a great time. This year hope to have my 3yo grandson there with me for a spell. Will be getting together with a bunch of Artery volunteers.

Thanks for the welcome, Ygmir. It was good to meet you and Gyre at my Hushviille digs. Next year I will make it to the Booby Bar on Thursday afternoon.
