A Keeper of the Flame: How I Lost My Religion & Found My Soul at Burning Man

The first time I was born into the narrow confines of evangelical religion. The second time I was born again, I was a gangly young man born into the big, wide, roiling sea of the infinite universe. And it all happened on a pirate ship and a wacky dance club at Burning Man. In 2002, I was a self-doubting preacher unsure whether to continue a fledgling career calling, when a voluptuous mountain guide neighbor asked if I would join her on a week-long experience at Burning Man. “After the week is over, and you still want to preach. Then great. If not, then you’re welcome!” she piped up. Hesitantly I agreed. “Burning Man,” wrote journalist Daniel Pinchbeck in his book, Breaking Open the Head , “is more decadent than Andy Warhol’s Factory, more glamoro

Ween 8.3.23

Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre Morrison, CO Words & Photos by Nicholas Stock Ween, a band synonymous with the surreal, rolled into town for a Thursday night soiree at The Happiest Place on Earth, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. From their early days with a DAT machine and a sense for the obnoxious until their sell out show at the most famous venue in the country, Ween has never backed down from their vision. Now in their elder years they can sit back and relish in what must have started as one of the more elaborate inside jokes that ever transpired between two junior high school kids.
