Hi there, such a pleasure to enjoy both. Pieces on the playa this year and to meet greg several times- what a masterpiece to enjoy such fine climbable joinery beautifully expressing mathematics this way! I also made friends with a super cool team member Paula who worked with Red and I at the Black Rock Boutique as well and would like to keep contact with her. Please email me!

Decommissioning Man Base was a 9 PM-3 AM sort of affair for the crews, and towards the end, some of us were getting into each others’ way and had a lot of standing around to do, mostly in a howling dust storm where you couldn’t breathe, surrounded by our sawing, hammering, and heavy equipment’s engines from all directions. Somehow, even though we were ‘closed’ and not a destination, there were still art cars driving by the perimeter blasting annoying music to a rave of no one.

Sometime around 2 AM, I heard a beat that wasn’t electronic music over the howl of the wind and engines and power tools, looked over to the perimeter, and saw headlamps bobbing around erratically.

It was the remnants of the marching band march-off from Center Camp, who had walked through the storm to our jobsite! I ran out to thank them for making the effort on foot, even though no one could really hear they were there. It turned out to be a huge contingent of the drummers from the bands- the only people who didn’t need to breathe, who proceeded to dance around and play their heart out in the dust.
