Terbo Ted first visited the Black Rock Desert in 1992 when there was no gate, no perimeter, no road, no trash fence, and you could drive your car as fast as you wanted in any direction. Terbo was the first DJ to play in Black Rock City with no one there to hear his set on a dusty Friday afternoon. Later, in the early years, he was the only one ever to be called “Mayor of the Techno Ghetto”. His playa self and default-world self can be remarkably similar these days.
