You are so lucky - a birthday weekend for a friend

Outside the city - not far, between the river and office parks, among trees and on the grounds of an 1800's mansion since converted to a school and now empty, left for a historic preservation group which funds preservation via these parties.

Its a hedonistic event, decorated, elaborate, designed for Instagram and for mind alteration. But also beautiful and a performance in many of its moment. It felt like most attendees were Consuming the event, rather than being in and of it.

Attending the three-day event was a birthday gift for a friend - from sunset to driving to hidden dinners to dancing to fire dancers.
