That's sounds like a great time. I'm on a greyhound right now to meet up with some burners I met over the summer for a couple concerts in Chicago. One called the freakeasy has me stoked. Put on by some Chicago burners, it's at a three stage venue and there's a ton of performance arts going on to. I'm seeing Kayla scintilla the night before too which will be fun. The burners I'm meeting up with are some of the most enjoyable people, we only spent a weekend together but they feel like family, I'm sure that vibe goes with most people part of the community.
Since seeing kalya scintilla (which is Merkaba btw) this summer at SUN I have been listening to his music all the time. It just happened that I took MDMA before his and kaya project's set. WOW, the music is fantastic!! Enjoy your time and don't hesitate to flow with the idea of gifting (without expecting anything in return). Anything can be a gift :)
