And so, on 01.01.00, life as it was known
changed. The himit (vs. hermit) took a year advance to prepare for
the start of the new millennium. See "How
the Wildwood Himitage Came to Be" for

Burning
Man
The Himit's first Burning Man was 1998 with
John Clay's The Lost Penguin Cafe. We cooked up a 1,000 hot dogs for
fellow burners. In 1999,
we formed another group to build a Maze and I provided music for our
E-Lounge. The Himit was in his year-long advance without human
contact in 2000 preparing for the coming millenium while the group
did an even larger maze. The basic group stayed together for one more
year in 2001
to build an even larger maze, some two-stories and 72' x 72'. I
continued that year as DJ. In 2002,
part of the group wanted to do another maze and part of it wanted to
do something simplier, so our group continued to do the Evening
Lounge and The Himit built a DJ booth with the intention to keep the
alkaline dust out of the equipment which worked pretty well. In
2003
we became the Dream Catchers as The Himit continued to DJ. In
2004,
we continued with the Dream Catchers and the DJing. In
2005
there was a three-way split. Our group became Deep Heaven with many
playshops and The Himit went to 24/7 music in the Lounge. The
elevated Heart became a beacon for so many to find their way home
from across the playa and our rotating heart mirror was a favorite.
In 2006,
Deep Heaven added a kaleidoscope
on the playa and the music continued. The Himit also created an
art
piece on the playa which won first
place. 2007
was a big transition year for The Himit. Wanting to spend more time
on the playa with less responsibilities, he turned the music over to
some very capable hands and created his own Himitage at 7:30 and
Jungle. 2008
he returned with The Himitage and took on the responsibility of
protecting the environment. He set up a barrier to protect to last
living, growing reminants of grass on the Playa. He expects to return
in 2009
with The Himitage and hopes to take the corner at 7:00 and
somewhere between B and G.

Thoreau became acquainted with the night, with
the sorrow of the woods and the melancholy of the snow; he found
depths and learned to trust them; he lived alone and liked the
company. - Robert Bly
