Florida Burning Man: Afterburn 2008

Heard about Florida's Afterburn? I hadn't, but asked CL'er Elke Lockert to report back: 

"About 24 of us arrived on Friday to a very special greeting at the Maddox Ranch gate near Lakeland, where they asked us to get out of our vehicle, explained what MOOP was and gave us a spanking. Ok, this is cool, we are all about this experience, so we were like, whatever. Costumes, wigs, whips, tricks, gifts, food, 200 jello shots, our camp gear and anything else you can think of for an adventure...oh, and did I mention alcohol?  Between all of us, we had every kind of it imaginable... we could have probably opened a bar and set up shop for the weekend. 

We quickly set up Camp Love, made a cocktail, got into a costume and made our way around the scene, easily changing from one to costume the other or one wig to the other. It was hard to actually keep everyone straight since no one really looked like themselves.  After making our way around and exploring different things, we came across a girl named Lizzy who had this really cool teepee-style tent... a good place to have an unplugged session. We quickly gathered up some of our peeps, sat on the floor and had a little J-love acoustic concert.
