One of my absolute personal favorite experiences from Burning Man 2012

there are literally thousands of incredible experiences happening at any given second at Burning Man… it's impossible to convey… everyone's experience ends up being totally different… I wanted to share one of my absolute personal favorites… biking way outside Black Rock City for several miles & stumbling on a movie theater at the farthest depth of the deep Playa… 

I assumed it just "looked" like a movie theater… but when I tried to open the door, it did open… and I was immediately greeted by a bellhop that asked "can I interest you in some concessions for the movie?"… I said "ummm… wow… sure… ah… Snickers?"… he handed me a KING SIZE snickers bar and said "Enjoy the show!"… I crawled under a tiny set of black theater drapes… and inside was a movie screen that rivaled those of indie movie screens in NYC… better in fact… I caught the 4am showing of The Wizard of OZ… when the movie ended, we walked out and the sun had just started rising in the distance… it felt like real life magic…

After an amazing Thanksgiving feasting on smoked turkey, countless sides, and homemade pies we spent the weekend in Pt. Reyes enjoying the view and walking off said pies. Those hills are pure beauty, right?
