2023 was the year of the rain, the year of the mud, and the year the playa forced you to learn how to live in the present for your own sanity. It also reiterated the fact that you should never have any expectations in life, but gratitude for everything you are given.

Personally, it was one of the best burns ever for me. It was very special, introspective, but also outward-looking when it needed to be.

Here's the set I played on the Polaris art car on Thursday night before the rain. If you were there, you probably remember we were tuning the sound system as I was playing (of course), so I hope you enjoy this crystal clear dust and mud-free set.

On Playa, I also go by Pony Hunter, or Pedro, or whatever... it was the best burn ever!
