Burning Man
Photos from Burning Man 2009. The art theme this year was "Evolution." I camped with friends at Ganesh camp -- we had a real Indian desert tent, and a regulation tennis court. Whoot!

Ali Opens the Bar
Ganesh Camp provided a respite from the desert dust and heat in an enormous Indian desert tent. To help our guests overcome the obstacles of desert living, we provided a full bar, sound system and tent misters. Everyone loved the Ganesh tent.
