Oh, The Places You'll Go!
Loving this retelling of Dr. Suess' classic Oh, The Places You'll Go! from Burning Man 2011. We already can't wait to get back to that wonderful, creative, and awe-inspiring Nevada desert.

Burn Burn Burn Like Fabulous Yellow Roman Candles... JK
After spending 6 nights in the high desert of Nevada with 63,000 other people for the 25th Anniversary of Burning Man, life will never be the same. Between the fascinating people I met, the superb creativity I witnessed, the other-worldly energy I encountered, touched and shared, and the many soulful conversations I had, I'm quite sure nothing compares to such a gathering and celebration of life, love and freedom.If I tried to put Burning Man in a simplified descriptive box, that box would melt.If I tried explaining the extent to which the artwork, workshops, people, celebrations and conversations were mind-bending in a way unrelated to foreign substances, my friends would think I'm off my rocker, which isn't a bad thing since my buddy Jack Kerouac and I go for the mad ones-"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'If I tried to pretend I dreamed it all, my body would instinctually shake me down with a brutal dose of truth and recall with absolute conviction that I did experience the human soul on fire, arguably the most powerful weapon on earth according to Ferdinand Foch, and I agree.
My appreciation and gratitude for touching and exploring and playing with the universal human soul has no end in sight. We are one-of-a-kind in terms of our extraordinary individiual and collective power to imagine, create, share and connect with others, and above all, that truth and real experience is what I have graciously returned with.We can do whatever we put our minds to. Period. And with a heightened sense of self, collective experience beyond imagination, and an even more tremendous fire now burning in our hearts, we are reinvigorated, reignited and supremely charged to continue forward on a level we only dreamed about.Come one, come all. It's gonna be a hell of a ride here on. :D
Best Month + Burning Man + Thank You
We are off to Burning Man this wkend with open minds, arms and hearts, and will be bringing with us this giant 10 ft. Manifesto recreation by #Agent99 that is inspiring us to stay on our A game, especially since this past month has been one of the best yet.
Our entire Holstee family finally got together for a looooong overdue celebration, we're happily expanding the family, and we're on one of the biggest forward kicks in terms of community growth and outreach, thanks to the collective efforts of our team and, in particular, Mr. Agent 99 himself- Ilya Spektor.
Now, we're off to Burning Man thru Sept. 5 with the intention of following our genuine intuition and continuing to spread our mission + values.
To all our fans near + far, old + new, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
Your amazing support + encouragement keeps our collective dream alive and adds fuel to the fire burning in our hearts for a more conscious lifestyle with all those we touch.
Best wishes + let's keep this RockNRollstee Holstee train movin' movin' + groovin'!
