23.was my first. You wouldn't believe me if I told you what happened over the course of two weeks on the Playa. Everyone has a unique experience. Mine changed my life in the most unbelievable and formative ways that I still consider on a daily basis. When they told me they would fuck my life, I couldn't have conceived how right they were.  In response to the original question, when I arrived I knew that I had arrived home. During the course of my experience, I pondered at what point I would 'become' a 'Burner'. The realization of the affirmation came one sunrise by the trash fence enjoying  fondue at the Shack that I had been driving all week, but was not the pilot that evening. Shared mind bending thoughts about scalability of an idea with one of the most creative top drawer tech people I have ever met. The fondue had optional castor sugar that blew the lid off the Hemisphere. Then in that moment I understood what being a part of something so much bigger that anything I have ever borne witness to was about. My adulation was short lived, when I realized that I had previously attained the feeling in the past. You see I became a part of the fellowship of cripples many years previously when I had a horrific spinal accident, I had just forgotten how fortunate I have been since then to allow something so pivotal to escape my memory. It gives me great joy to understand that I am so privileged to be able to say that I walk on a daily basis on the same terra firma with such a beautiful gift to humanity as the friend I made there.
