We're all gonna miss Emo this year, but most of all me. It'll be
my first Burn without him. Somehow though, Camp Stella must live on!
We have lots of new faces, Stella is in a new part of town, and Avalon
Village is going to be awesome (now with 100% more twinkly lights!). Looking forward to the "best
burn ever." |
