What first got you interested in Burning Man?

Hmmm, gosh thanks for asking Nicole! ^///^ This might be a long answer hehe! I think it was something that was bound to happen over the course of my life! It just seems to make sense to me, and it feels so natural. I've always been interested in alternative things since I was a teenager, for complete lack of a better descriptor word. I mean, I've always felt like I expressed myself a little differently than most people and didn't quite understand it for so long. But I guess there really is a chain of events that led to it. When I was 19, I went to Israel for the first time. Out there, I started going to weekend psytrance parties with my friends out in the mountains. This was kind of a gateway to experience how much I loved being in the middle of rural nature with a beautiful, raging electronic music party as the sun is rising! haha not quite burner spirited yet, but super fucking fun xD

When I got back to Philly, I started going to other parties with my best friend- specifically PEX parties. These parties were completely immersive, unlike any clubby party. Everyone was dressed to the T with their wildest forms of self expression. The visual and performance art pieces were incredible. It really was a wonderful thing to come into at that time. I also started learning to play with fire at this point! I don't do it much anymore, but it was so freaking cool. From friends we started making there, we learned about Burning Man and the smaller East coast regional events. That fall '07, we started going to Playa Del Fuego in Delaware which is a completely Burning Man spirited event, just much smaller and located somewhere else. There are lots of them across the country.

So, that's pretty much it! I fell in love with PDF and started going to other local festivals (both Burning Man spirited, as well as psytrance- which are pretty different). At my college, we didn't have a summer break longer than 1 week, so Burning Man wasn't at all feasible until I graduated. I bided my time for like 4-5 years dying to go to BM and waiting until I could xD Buuuut last year I made it happen, and even though it's changing so quickly (the event already was pretty different only 5 years ago- i'll just say pop culture kills everything) I'm super happy to have it in my life. <3 That's an understatement!
