I make that mistake constantly. And somebody always reminds me. It's West Virginia, not Maryland. But without fail. Next week I will make the exact same mistake.

Since you have been to burning Man, what are the vibes at the burns? And is there anything that particularly goes well for gifting?

Vibe is just a free for all in a loving, giving community. Everyone helping everyone else be their happiest. I went over a decade ago. If you need something, people go out of their way to make it happen in the most unordinary, creative ways. With time, you get better at gifting but gifting in the desert might be different than gifting in a tundra. I handed out bandanas people could wrap around their face when in the desert but most people provide a service or some sort of feel good activity. Food, water and heat are always good gifts. If you play music or DJ, people dig that too. It’s just all about being one with the community and bringing whatever you want to the table. Quite liberating if you have a strong sense of self that must align with societal majority.
