This year it was a sold out event held at the J Lounge, with the theme of masked ball!  Entertainment from Vancouver Circus School, stand up comedy, improve group, as well as a spicy and halirious bachelor auction all in the name of fundraising for BC Cancer Foundation.  It was a wonderful summer evening, and many brilliantly decorated masks from local artists were auctioned off.  I met my good friend Deborah’s co-worker Aimee and her boyfriend there, and went for Chinese food afterwards, had a great chat about meditation and life.

Titter Totter of Horror - one must go topless to go on this ride

Sunday night’s Temple Burn

Black Rock City’s Sunset - breathtaking

www.burningman.com This festival is something beyond words can describe, it’s something one must experience for themselves. It was the best week of my life, and it really did change my life. I was expanded creatively, intellectually, spiritually, and socially by ideas, people, sights, sound, and survived a sand storm, in addition to having a mad love affair.

Witnessing my first gay wedding in the Westend, Vancouver!

Really wicked Singaporian/ Malaysian food, they have a weekend all you can eat brunch for $16.50 per person, highly recommend it, try the Roti bread…. so yummy with curry sauce.
