Some people say Burning Man is hard to describe. "The Feed" is hard to describe.
Though the themes are similar: sharing, providing, building, long dusty roads in the Wild West, camping, celebration, all walks of life, and fire, there is an element of old tradition at The Feed that distinguishes it from other gatherings. An attempt if I may -- it is akin to taking a barn raising, a Lost Coast surf trip, a hometown potluck reunion, lumberjacks in tie dye and flannel, and late night jam sessions in the redwoods then folding them in to one another until the result is a perfectly smooth chocolate mousse of warm hearts, warm hands, warm souls, and full bellies.
