I just wanted to say thanks

a few years ago, on summer solstice, there was a reunion gathering on Baker Beach – everyone from BM HQ was there, and Stephen Raspa, and Danger Ranger, etc. And I had heard a rumor that it was happening, so I ditched work and just showed up – I think I was the only party crasher, acually. And we sang “happy birthday” to a miniature Man and burned a birthday cake effigy, and drank champagne and had a nice time. And Larry was there, of course, and even though I’d been volunteering at HQ a couple times I think this was the first time I saw him in person. So I wanted to say something to him, you know, but I didn’t want to be obnoxious. So the words I found were simple: “Thanks for inviting us to your party.” And today, when I think of what I want to say to Larry Harvey as he departs, that still seems right. Thanks for inviting all of us to your party, it’s the fucking best.
