I call them the Man’s “college years”

05 was the year Katrina and the failed levees took out the gulf. While we were on the playa. In the months that followed, burners realized that the innovation, generousity, and skill sets that made the playa happen could also be used to change the world.

By 06 that became Burners without borders, and wood from art and camps started getting recycled instead of burned. Ditto Reno-based recycling options, green bikes,more veggie oil vehicles, etc.

In 07, I saw less an issue with Disneyfication, and more that the theme had artists and other participants thinking about their impact on the world. The solar panels that lit the man that year led to the first Black Rock Solar installations.
(not to mention that the observation platform atop the solar panel control center being a great place to make out).

And I sense that sensibility… That we can both party and do good – a 20something style – pervading the whole event…

Flipit, virgin class of 2005

I realize now that I don’t need to bring it bigger and badder year after year, that those we have raised and inspired should be past the torch and boy have you all grabbed the torch.

2010 brought me back as a born again virgin (after a break, took ’09 off) and I think that many of us lifers have felt this over the many years. I came home feeling like I did after my first burn but with a whole lot more know how. I feel this great new intoxication is from all you other fresh generations, younger/older, so thanks again. See you all soon!
