3rd Degree Burn(ers):
You've moved near the playa, will be staying til you die, and find it a life affirming place for your marginally psychotic lifestyle. You've been travelling from regional burn to burn and have lost contact with your 'real' family. You own more unikilts than shirts with buttons. You're considering changing your legal name to your playa name. You're working dpw for over a month and wishing it could be longer.
