POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

There are a million ways to Burn. Somehow, this year we got to experience almost all of them ✨

Comfort & Joy has been a hearth of the Queerborhood and San Francisco queer community for 25 years.

Together, 60 illustrious queers from around the globe built more than a camp. We built a home.

I’m immensely proud of what Comfort & Joy accomplished. Not because everything went to plan - it certainly did not - but because when things broke, people stepped up. When someone needed help, somebody appeared. When the work was done, the camp came alive.

Months of planning, fundraising, packing, hauling, building, and losing our minds became real: a place where people could walk through our neon flags and belong.

And then, somehow, we actually got to leave it… Tomorrow 😉

In so many ways, this was a bucket list Burn - DJing the Afterglow Tent after the Naked Pub Crawl, seeing Black Rock City from the right seat of a Piper Comanche, and driving all over deep playa in a pirate ship art car.

Through it all, we came home to this beautiful queer family we’d built in the dust (and mud).

For me, being entrusted with that responsibility as Mayor has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

Going with @ry4ny for his first Burn made it even more special. Ryan dove into the deep end: taking on a leadership role, redesigning and managing our infrastructure, solving problems nobody knew we’d have, and becoming a critical advisor through the Burn’s biggest challenges. And once the dust settled, we remembered why anyone goes through all this trouble in the first place.

Thank you to every camper, leader, builder, artist, DJ, friend, neighbor, and beautiful stranger who made Comfort & Joy and Black Rock City what it was this year.

Until next time, see you in the dust! 💖🔥🌈

Post cards from paradise. Dolly tributes, life epiphanies, and dilly dallying. Never going back unless it happens again.

After overextending myself the past couple of years on the playa, this year was about making time for 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤. ⁣
⁣
We ran with a skeleton crew this year, only nineteen instead of our usual thirty-five, and in true Suspended Animation fashion, 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.⁣
⁣
That decreased attendance was reflected across the playa, and stepping in to volunteer with Gate & Arctica was a no-brainer (if you haven’t yet volunteered during your )’( I cannot recommend it enough, it’s been an annual highlight.)⁣
⁣
I had the honor of being our music lead once again, and cannot thank @subsetgetsit @robotsunrise @heydjchampagne enough for gifting your music and yourselves.⁣
⁣
In making more time, that meant taking on only six sets this year, and being incredibly intentional where they were played. It’s always tempting to say yes to it all, but it comes at the cost of one of my favorite parts of the Burn: spending time exploring and experiencing.⁣
⁣
TYSM to @lakesontheplaya for having me out to kick off the week, to @reo.sound and @cuddleoasiscamp for a beautiful Friday sunset slot after the storms passed, and to my dear @baaahsstation for entrusting me to bring you home with Sunday’s sunrise 🥹

It’s no secret that I’m most at home on the playa, and this year was no exception.⁣
⁣
𝘚𝘖 so much to still process, but Sunday’s sunrise set atop @baaahsstation was my why.⁣
⁣
Last year, @aphexcx invited me out for BAAAHS’s Trance set, the evening of my grandmother’s funeral, and it was truly the perfect celebration of life. This year, just hours before I hit the road, I learned that I’d be playing the final set atop this beloved art car, closing out the Man Burn celebrations as dawn broke on the day of my most cherished part of )’( : Temple Burn.⁣ (TYSM @bencbartlett )
⁣
I cried. A lot. The significance of this slot was not lost on me, especially from a crew as dear to me as BAAAHS. ⁣
⁣
And that morning as I plugged in my USB, my campmates came out of the dust to dance with me, and turning to my right to see Afik brought me to tears once again.⁣
⁣
To my chosen family, to those who couldn’t be with us, to those we have yet to meet - thank you 🫶🏻

This was seriously one of the most exhausting Quests of my Burn

Some Flyers said not- @deadmau5 , others said it's him. one of my biggest wishes ia that he'd come to @burningman since years... he once commented "if theres whiskey" so I assured him

So after @infectedmushroom I was so exhausted ... but knew I had to find the sheep...

After the night before stalking the sheep @baaahsstation sliding through its asshole, asking the crew where the f the sheep would be tuesday for this party and them saying, come to our camp around dinner time, the driver will be there

Me , recruiting 5 guys from my camp to search the gaybourhood around dinnertime .. finding their camp , just getting a random "either be here at 9pm or search on the deep playa" , him confirming its really deadmau5 before he gave us some bananas and sent us our way...

then 4 h of mushrooms and taking luke with me to search deep playa by bike during white out

ending up in some art car where a guy handed us mini toothbrushes , the collective toothbrushing freaked luke out , i wasnt informed about his state , only know the next day he asked me if that was really happening, then loosing Luke in the dust, where he also, somehow lost his bike forever, me biking alone and at 5am finally finding the sheep (that was freaking 3h of biking through nowhere

then everyone considering if its really joel... and at 6 the mask was lifted, not deadmau5 but a truly devoted fan whose life has been changed by deadmau5s music

Fourth burn and still figuring it out.

Being on your own at @burningman is hard as f*ck. Missed my close friends ofc, but got closer to others. Admittedly, I wasn’t really on my own. Thank you once again @baaahsstation, you are full of talented, brilliant, and hard-working people I admire and feel privileged and lucky to surround myself with. Nothing but love for all of you.

Still not enough time to see all of the art though. Oh, and whiteouts are no joke, Tycho was mid 🤭, Lee Burridge forever, and @camp.gs’ takeover of @discosmos_ Saturday morning was the best party of my week (of the burn?).

Just got back and already want more. The Man burns in 362 days 🐑🔥👤❤️‍🔥

Alas, my Burningman day 3 look!
I know you all have been patiently waiting, but the dust storms took priority.

Fire emblazoned dark eyeshadow with a worn brown leather skirt drapes in metal chains, a peach top, and Sahara leather jacket with pointed bronze spikes.

Here is my look of the day and a few moments from the @glamcocks party in the gayborhood!
