Still recovering from and 2 weeks. Kygo at the Hollywood Bowl was the melodic foreplay into Daddy Dom dom topping us downtown. Oof. It’s hard to impress me at this point (insert age joke) but he did it. Production value ✅ Music and dancing with friends ✅✅.

Pony’s Burning Manologues, part 6

“Reclaiming the Burn.”

I went into the 2024 Burn with the intention of reclaiming it for Ben and I. Each of my four previous Burns has been transformational, and while all have involved personal growth and access to wonder and overcoming challenges, two of them have included destruction and anguish and heartbreak alongside the beauty and joy.

The last two Burns burned down my life. After the 2023 Burn, I didn’t know who I was going to be in the aftermath, digging out of the wreckage. This year, as I have rebuilt a life I am proud of, worked to be the person I want to be, returning to the Burn was a bit scary. But I knew how integral the connection and wonder and joy and growth of the Burn was to me, and I didn’t want to lose it to the sadness, to the trauma, to my history. Thankfully, Ben also wanted to reclaim it. He wasn’t willing to let the past ruin the future of our Burns together.

We wondered where the triggers would be, when the dust would uncover any wounds that remained. And there were a few moments where we winced, moments where thoughts spun the wrong direction, but all in all, the Burn was gentle with us. The Burn healed far more than it hurt.

I’ll always be grateful that Bunny was open to this experience with me again.

We took the Burn back, and the Burn took us back.
—
• I squeezed into a tight ladder chute, got my blond mohawk caught in the doorway, and climbed inside a two-story neon mushroom.
• I saddled a giant metal jackalope (which is an antlered bunny, not to be confused with the h***y Bunny who was on playa all week.)
• I biked into a portal of light and sound, through circles of LED stretching the length of a football field.
• I danced in tighty-whities, and helped to create a weirdly fun and s*xy moment where hundreds of people danced in tighty whities covered in dust.
• I climbed a giant rocking horse and rocked.
• I got interrupted during s*x to introduce the second DJ. Be right there.
• I walked under the arch that promised “We Will Dance Again” and read the 405 names.
• I lay on a blanket, under an art piece, and watched the sun set alone.

I’m never Finnished traveling the world with you, .

Hei from Helsinki and Tallinn! Saunas, Michelin stars, a medieval walled city, fairies on ferries, tall ships, feudal fortresses. (Do I need to bring one home in case our democracy falls?)

Not sure if we did NYC Pride or if Pride did us. Either way, OK&LA had a great time.

NYC Pride Day 1 with my boys. For all of the cynical “been there, done that” that we all can do, when you relax into it, Pride is a really special time. Even though we are proud year round, this is a special month where we fly our flags (rainbow, freak and otherwise) a little higher, with a little more gusto. In part because some of us didn’t get the chance to do that when we were younger, in part because we want kids who are growing up q***r to have a million different places to look to see potential version of themselves. So, dance a little crazier, kiss your boyfriends in public, be transparent about who you are and make no apologies for any of it.

We are coming for you, NYC Pride. &LA

I’m so lucky to be with this guy as he heads into 43 today... more handsome, wiser, sweeter, kinder, all of the things just get better with age for him. Happy birthday, Bunny.

Could not have had a more fun MDW with these boys in Austin. And yes, we took one photo with our shirts on. But who wants to see that?

Horsing around in Montana with my at our retreat. So special to share such a beautiful place and special moments with this handsome man. To get all of this magic with him and my Burning family is truly something I will always treasure. More on that camp fam in the next post.

05/11/2024

The retreat in Montana has been such a joy to be a part of. I’m so grateful to be a part of this q***r Burner community and proud to have been a small part of bringing this camp to life.

Bonding with friends, dancing as the sun sets, being silly all weekend long. It doesn’t get any better than that. Thanks to and for an amazing musical journey.

My friend Kelly Kidd is taking over the main stage at Hotel Café on Friday, April 19th! Kelly’s music weaves pop threads into a western musical rhinestone vibe all his own. He has appeared at STAGECOACH twice, fronting and touring country bands The Podunk Poets and tarzanaland. Don’t miss this show! Tickets at his linkinbio

This guy. We met at Elevation Utah four years ago and though we’ve hit a couple moguls along the black diamond runs through life we’ve taken, there’s no one I’d rather kiss in the snow, dance with til the dawn, cuddle in front of a movie (until he falls asleep 30 min later), explore the world, or wake up in the morning with. His heart is bigger than you can imagine.

3 of 5. At MAMMOTH, the big daddy of the Elevation events, y’all came out in force to 13 events over 5 days! The Rainbow Run, as always, was a joyful moment, with hundreds of snomos*xuals parading down the hill at high speed in rainbow glory.

The debut of DJ Joey with the Mustache did not disappoint. I told him that the Elevation events have some similarities with Burning Man in terms of the feeling of community and the vibe of friendliness and joy. For his first time at Elevation (and at a gay ski week), he lit up McCoy Station for the Après at 10k with joyful house and disco-inflected dance music for more than 1000 partiers as gentle snow fell as if on cue.

Riding down from the Après at 10k on the gondola as the sun was setting and the snowcats were grooming the hill was truly an iconic moment that reminded me how grateful I am to have the privilege of creating this experience for my community.

The music of Millennial (DJ Joe Pacheco B2B DJ J Warren) pounded the Gear Party in the way we all wanted to be pounded. ;)

As always, RPDR Season 13’s Joey Jay served up two amazing choreographed shows, at the Après at 10k and at Gear. Tina Burner cracked us up for Comedy Night, just being the ho**er she is.

Lo**ta Colby and Miami Knight gave us lewks and jaw dropping performances at the après ski events and at Sunday’s St Patrick’s Day Drag Brunch.

And three of the original Elevation Mammoth DJs (Josh Peace, Casey Alva and Dawna Montell) delivered unparalleled sets of fun, powerful, vocal house and dance music. (Soundcloud/websites/handles below if you want to hear more) Our newest Elevation DJ Litchfield got to feature his disco/retro/homos*xual/silly musical vibes (I mean all of that as a compliment.)

Canal life for a week in Amsterdam. #remotework #lifereset #solotravel

Lisbon has stolen a bit of my heart. It’s started my life reset and has lost me in its windy hilly cobblestone streets so many times that eventually I will find what I’m looking for. Great architecture, one of the oldest capitals in Europe, amazing food (though you better like seafood and meat.).
