Wow. Just read Harley’s see ya letter to BMORG. Funny how modern the word broke out.
UPDATE- many months later. Harley is still there! I guess she got whatever she wanted. Good for her!
First, Danger Ranger twittered it, then the letter was posted to Tribe and naturally Scott Beale Twittered it, too. And surely all shit has broken loose on ePlaya. She has been there 17 long as years. This is a magnificent loss to those left holding the Burning bag. Harley is a friend, we do playdates together and all that, so of course I totally sympathize with her stated need to spend more time with her family. Totally get that. I sincerely hope and expect all the amazing, trail blazing experience she gained growing a human and city infrastructure around a world class art freak festival to result in the super fat job of her choosing. The girl should have major options available! Go Harley!
Dropping LLC members was only a matter of time. I wonder if they have groomed a “Tier Two”, as we used to call it. Joseph Pred, John “Nettie the Horse” Nettle, Absinthia, $teven Ra$pa, Yomsa, Hellga and a couple others of us who were very involved around ‘98-’99 used to talk about serving that role. The idea either did not go far or did not go over from what I can barely recall. Muscling into that inner circle is near impossible. But the job those folks do to keep Burning Man alive is an incredible one, and requires a TON of work, tenacity, and inner strength. Will be interesting to see who can dare fill Harley’s shoes.
PLAAAAAYAAAAA!!!!

UPDATE: So Harley actually did NOT end up leaving BMORG. Been meaning to correct that little story so here it is. Very interesting! As always……
