burning man is fabulous. it can renew my faith in humanity. and as a "ritual junkie" i'm so into the neo-pagan/cyber-shamanic aspect of the whole effigy burning in the desert thang.

Then another time I saw her at Joe's Pub and at one point in the show, her face morphed into someone else for about 2 seconds, I swear she conjures up demons or ghosts. She was totally possessed.
