**ATTN: nudity & sexuality is discussed in this episode. I would rate it PG13** No, we didn’t go to Burning Man, but the topic came up in our house & the only info we knew was from rumors. So we invited our experienced, artistic friend Travis Hammer to paint a picture of what it’s actually like! Soft Blue Shimmer perform their song Fruitcake available now on Spotify & iTunes.
