Decompression

So every year after Burning Man, there is a Decompression. Basically, people who went to Burning Man get together and throw a huge block party. Since Michael and I were unable to make it to the playa this year, we made sure that we went to Decom. But, in addition to attending, we also volunteered! We had the time of our lives and have vowed to volunteer much more often. We were stationed at a will call booth for performers and theme camps and our shift was about 3 hours long. We got to meet and greet dozens of people and had a great time doing it. It definitely made our Decompression experience 1,000 times more enjoyable. After our shift was over, we meet up with Scott and Patrick and cruised the 6 blocks that the party consumed. There were 6 stages with live bands, performers, and shows going on all day. In addition to that, there were also theme camps set up and DJ's playing, and art installations. I put the photos in a slide show to the right. check 'em out!

Needless to say it was a great day. I loved dressing up and Michael and I made quite the couple. Scott and Patrick rocked it out in their own right even though they've never been to the playa or knew what to expect. It was fun. And being that I was 8 months pregnant at the time, I have to say, I looked grrrrrreat!
