We met on Tutu Tuesday at Burning Man, 2014 at 4:15 and Esplanade. That address is forever engraved on both of our matching coordinates bracelets. He introduced himself as Beardo and I introduced myself as Sliced Bread. Right away, there was an instant connection. We were both living in Los Angeles and coincidentally we were both born and raised in Florida. Pursuing our dreams, we were working in the entertainment industry. We instantly bonded over our love for punk ska music. I invited Beardo to have a breakfast burrito at my campsite. (He had only brought spaghetti-o's for the whole week). He borrowed one of my tutus to wear so he wouldn’t look like a Virgin (thats what we call someone who has never been to the Burn before). We hung out the whole week together at Burning Man...I had never laughed so much in my whole life. We felt an instant connection, a gravitational pull towards one another. We said goodbye at the end of the Burn. Back to LA and back to our "default world" obligations. Months later I was walking across a parking lot in Los Feliz, Los Angeles and an out-of-control, black Scion almost ran me over! I was about to yell out horrible things to the driver, but then I saw a long, flow-y beard and big blue eyes and I realized it was Beardo! Love literally (almost) ran me over! We made plans to get sushi together and right away we both realized how attracted we were to each other. Since our first official date at the 50% off sushi place on Santa Monica Blvd, we’ve been inseparable. Even when I moved back to Florida and Beardo still lived in LA...our hearts were linked forever.
