Jez

Jez died in her sleep last night.

We found out yesterday that she had intestinal lymphoma, and the only sane thing to do was to put her to sleep because treatment would've been too much for her.

We were hoping that she could hang on till I got back to town next week because I've been in Atlanta & Charlotte since Monday for work, but it didn't work out that way.

We never knew how old she really was, but I had her for 9 years.

A month after moving to NYC, we were walking out of Teddy's, a bar in our neighborhood in Brooklyn, and she walked out with us. No one in the bar had ever seen her or knew what she was doing there so I took her home and named her after the woman whose room I was getting because she was moving back to the UK.

Four years later, Jez and I moved to Hollywood.

Bye Lil' Jez

The Boys of Black Rock City

We love the Boys of Black Rock City.

Dusty & scruffy in their best desert-chic fashion, who can resist?

Go here for more of our favorites and be sure to check back for more photo updates from Burning Man 2004 including the Burn, our Friends & Neighbors and our unexpected wedding.

Oh yeah, if you see yourself or a friend in one of the photos and I don't have your name there...sorry, I forgot it, but be sure to email us the info and I'll update the caption.

Homo Erectus

Ok, before we get to Burning Man 2005, I thought I better start posting more pics from the 2004!

We got into town on Saturday and got to see them raise the Man.

The Burn, with Apologies

There are, I swear, loads of pictures coming soon to Phototopia from Burning Man 2004. This weekend you will see a whole slew of hot, dusty boys, our friends and neighbors, playa nuptials, cool camps, and dazzling lights.

Back from the Burn

We just got back from our what may be our best Burning Man in 6 years and have TONS of pics to sift through so stay tuned in the coming days and weeks for such stellar entries as THE BOYS OF BLACK ROCK CITY, MY SO CALLED BURN, and some very special double wedding pics.
