Flipside Thanks

This Flipside was one of the most personally difficult for me yet, but at the same time I am moved and amazed by what a powerful experience it was — one which in retrospect was incredibly positive; I think even the parts in which I was miserable will teach me a lot. And socially, communally, spiritually it was a powerful event, with an effigy (and Burn) the likes of which has not been seen since the days of our great departed Monkey God.

Some specific thanks:

Thanks to all the Rangers, Greeters, others who not only keep this
event from falling apart but made it so glorious.
Everyone who built the effigy — best since Hanuman!
The firemen for not just keeping us safe but putting on such a good
show at the same time
