Huffington Post Celebrates UB Founders’ Burning Anniversary

The secret to our love? We try to make sure each kiss is just as awkward looking as the first.

The dust settles. In the distance, the hazy afternoon sun shines on a body, a man you might know. A man you must meet. Walk past the pink bar, the pink drinks, the pink go-go dancers, the pink streamers blowing in the wind, Burning Man’s Pink Mammoth camp takes its name seriously.

In the middle of the desert, across the dancefloor, a man wearing a bowtie and a cummerbund meets a man in a red bandana and a loincloth. “We spent the night walking a scale model of the solar system a few miles long. We stopped at every planet to sit and talk and have a drink. By the time we reached Pluto, the sun was almost up. It was an absolutely perfect first date,” that’s how Kevin Farrell describes meeting Nick Vivion at Burning Man.

The co-founders of Unicorn Booty both talk of their six-year affair with the Man and the yearning to go back year after year with the same energy it’d make the Energizer bunny jealous.

And they’re not alone. Before Milk, Dustin Lance Bass’s first film, On the Bus, was about his trip to Burning Man, and Adam Lambert got a revelation to audition for American Idol while on his own personal trip of self-discovery and ginger rejection.

The article goes over the Oral Sex River and through the Recreational Drug Use Woods, but ends on a lovely little note, if I do say so myself. You can read all about how Nicky V and I met at Burning Man by reading the article in full at Huffington Post.

Smooch.
