I am a former Burner (Burning Man) Work in labs for the most part, moving to Portland, OR right now, figuring that all out. Lots of sci-fi, tabletop gaming, pokemon, nerd stuff. Used to build fireworks for fun, and I once burnt down a twelve story building for the entertainment and spiritual fulfillment (or something) of ~50,000 people... so there's that.
