Meet the Leads 👩🏽‍✈️

I got my playa name and my invitation to join Ashram during a highly-profitable, all-nighter blackjack session at the Grand Sierra Hotel in Reno.

Facts/ 2 truths and a lie: I am a junior Olympic all-American athlete , I have climbed Mont Blanc, I have skinny dipped in Lake Como 3 times.

Our power grid, like our people, requires enthusiastic consent. Ask before you plug anything in.

I like asking people for things, and love talking to strangers. I’m also v bossy and organized and have high standards for also loving to laugh and tell stories all the time. I have a story for any occasion.

If we aren’t having fun we are doing it wrong.

An avid craft beer lover who will gladly share a foamer with you from his special cooler of goodies if you ask nicely. Was arguably the least qualified to run the best bar on playa (let alone the universe) when he was selected for the task.

I like to pour champagne on guests from atop the bar.

I like to watch Mark do naked yoga at sunset

I know all the words to “Informer” …and WILL perform it on demand.

I got bitten by a Lion once

DJ NotYeti is my least ridiculous DJ name. Ask me about the time I went to the Fuel Depot wearing eyeliner, after the genny blew up

My first Burning Man was in 1999. My friend: “Hey do you want to go camping with some of my artist buddies?”

Uh, TALL

One of the best compliments I ever received was a homegirl telling a friend of mine:
“Arath is what I imagine an Angel would be like, if it was also a gangster”.
Her: What about the smile?
Me: I am smiling.

I am yet to be beaten in a beer pint sculling competition.

Kaela wont touch my spreadsheets…

This year will be my 20th burn!!

Prince Philip and I bonded over bacon (as you do), and I’ve been bringing the heat to the playa ever since. Here’s a tasty fact: bacon crisps at 400°F… but when The Man turns white, that’s the ultimate burn — full-spectrum fire blazing at a scorching 2,700°F.

I can change from flats to heels.

I can change a flat in heels!

Oh Mani Padme Hum

Human Shazam with 73% accuracy rate

We are the Music Makers, and we are the Dreamers of Dreams.

I have a real affinity for the US Postal Service, and encourage people to send mail if they are so inclined.

I am from… Fargo.

They said they’d send something soon… right after they finish building a shower.

Their fun fact is on playa time. Check back after the next dust storm.

Honeymooned at Burning Man (there’s no better city on the planet)

They promised to send us a fun fact right after their next playa nap.

I outlast Cood Dad at every party. Ask me about coming into my tent and riding my chair

This space reserved for future hilarity—once they remember what year it is.

I grew up in actual ashram downunder…not so fun without the Gilded Lily, but lots of naked yoga at sunset (sadly without Mark).
