Chaim - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2016

Description

I was sleeping, exhausted from the crazy endless party from the morning before. Waking up and looking at the time I saw that I was 1am and I remembered that I was scheduled to play at 2am at Robot Heart! I quickly got dressed and jumped on my bike alongside Pao, my partner in crime. My Colombian girlfriend was confident she could see the bus in the distance, I was sure it wasn't Robot Heart, but as always I followed her insanity and we peddled for 20 minutes guided by her intuition (insanity)! Still hungover, and even more groggy from the rushed bike ride, we arrived at a red sign. The bus no where in sight. In a moment of despair, I almost gave up, almost turned around, almost rode home. At least I could be sure of my comfortable bed. Exhausted, exhausted further from more peddling, from arguing, from thinking of my excuse for why I didn't make it for my first Robot Heart set we suddenly came across the bus! I was sure we'd missed my set or at the very least that we were very late but we made it. With this being my first burn, finally finding and then climbing up on the bus was the most unique, magical experience for me. The experience of searching for the bus, finally playing and then struggling to find my way back to our bikes afterwards was a series of events that I'll never forget. The camp gifted me with a necklace fabricated from pieces of the original heart engraved with my name that I wear to this day!
