Like many Burning Man stories, ours started with a number of happy coincidences. Facility and Reverend Max started coming to Burning Man in 2000, and brought their 13 yr-old son the next year in 2001. By 2002, their son’s best friend wanted to join them, but his parent’s weren’t sure they wanted their teenage son to go to such a wild and unknown event — so they did the only sensible thing and decided to come along too. The dad said, “hey, I work with a woman who’s husband is a Burner, let’s see if they want to camp with us too!” and that’s how Faciliti and Rev Max met Boyscout and his dad, Mr. Wizard. We’ve been Family, on- and off-Playa, ever since.
