While this is being posted later, I happen to be writing at 3:42am. I have spent the last 2 weekends in a whirlwind of activity, and it finally has my brain in such a tizzy that I can't sleep.
Last weekend was Alchemy, a burn that takes place in the North Georgia mountains. For those of you unfamiliar, it's effectively a smaller scale Burning Man. Bunch of folks just camping in the woods, creating a temporary autonomous society based on self reliance and a hell of a good time. I had a blast. Turned off my phone, had a stash of granola and box wine, and proceeded to hang out with some of my dearest friends that I haven't been able to see in mooonths. Reconnecting with everyone was wonderful, even in the 30-40ºF nights, haha.
This weekend was Taste of Atlanta, one of my favorite responsibilities all year. One of the largest food festivals in the Southeast, I work for them every year in some capacity or another. This year, I was their VIP Experience manager, which meant I was in charge of organizing volunteers for that section, and once I was on site, making sure everything went as smoothly as possible. I have never been so busy and so exhausted in my life. My first year managing, and I learned a crapload! I had help from some fantastic volunteers, and I can't wait to do it again next year, but oh man. Every time I close my eyes, I am back at the festival site, assisting with the breakdown. I never thought I could ever get this tired from just a dream. Or is it a nightmare at this point?
