What an amazing afternoon we had yesterday, I love my community. My friends and I went to watch the test run for assembling Bliss Dance, a forty foot female who is headed for [BM]. It was so exciting to see her arm attached, from the inside out. I don’t know exactly where she will be on the Playa, but I bet she will be hard to miss. So stop by and see her, she is waiting to dance with YOU!

Stunning!

She reigned as Goddess of the Playa 2010. I fell in love, and I’m a gay man! Thanks to everyone who was a large or small part of all the work — her creation, installation, and deinstallation.
