2009 Art Theme: "Evolution"

Nature never made a plan, nor does it seem to copy very well. No living thing is ever quite the same as others of its kind. Charles Darwin called this Natural Variation. There is a kind of subtle chaos, a supple element of chance and change, residing at the core of living things. Our theme this year prompts three related questions: What are we as human beings, where have we come from, and how may we adapt to meet an ever-changing world?

It's been six years since I have been back to the Playa. I remember going as a young wild and crazy 21 year old college student out to rule the world. I come back this year with different perspectives in life. I am now more focused saving up enough money for a mortgage, and working my way up the corporate food chain. But this trip back to the playa is the perfect thing I need to help me in my transition back into reality. I am ready to go back HOME! It's been awhile, but the love I have for BRC will never change. Mike.
