…Also, there was another person there who came as well, and he actually lived here in north county with us. His name is Uncle Dave, and he teaches people how to soar on the flying trapeze. He even has one student in her eighties. So if you're in this…

…in this area, well, that may be something that you'd like to give a try. It was the first time that I'd met Uncle Dave, and when I learned that he taught trapeze, I asked if he new fellow saloner Darren, who was involved with the trapeze theme camp…

…saloner Darren, who was involved with the trapeze theme camp at Burning man. As it turns out, it was Darren who first told Dave about the salon. Now, last month I got together with Darren to hear some of the tales of this year's Burning man festival,…
