Sorry guys . If you are not in the Culinary field CEC means Certified Executive Chef – SO DON’T MESS THIS UP LMAO- Love DB his wife and the whole temple-Rev. Billy crew, nobody tries harder to spread the good feelings of stop shopping and celebrate life as these guys.They are truly neoscholsastics who love what they are doing and care who they are working with.

As a part time member of the temple crew I have to complement both David and his Wife Maggie who I must say is a fantastic chef. She organises and cooks the best food on the playa. She is as tireless as David when it comes to taking care of the crew. It is said behind every good man is a great woman . I tip my hat to a lady that succeedes under most extream conditions.

The temple burning is always the perfect end to the Burning Man ritual.

Thank you, Tim.

Thank you, David.

If the Man is the heart of Burning man, then the Temple is surely the soul.

I missed this year’s burn. The temple became more important than The Man.

I didn’t make it to BRC this year, and not experiencing this beautiful temple in person is my biggest regret. I hope that others will step up to carry on in the spirit of David’s work.

David’s work has always been a highlight for me. Cathartic, community oriented, and beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye to hear him describe himself as a “customer” this year. It should be interesting to see how his vision is continued on by participants in the future. One of my fave memories is walking back from the temple after Bridget’s grandmother had died. David caught up with us in the middle of a white out and they got to rap for awhile about the catharsis that the temple allowed for releasing grief. Beautiful work, beautiful man.

You know i was at the first few Burning Man’s on Baker Beach…and honestly this temple is the first thing i have seen in recent years…besides the very appropriate eclipse burn of the man…that i feel is in the true grain of the originators ….it is truely beautiful….
