Hey there! So if you care enough to get this far, I guess I could tell you a bit more about me. I live in Pasadena, CA with my partner of 20+ years, Jerry. I am part owner of a company specializing in the staging of live events for broadcast TV and corporations. I moved away from my home near Palm Springs at 17 and went straight to work and have been at it ever since. I came out to most everyone when I was 21. I've been clean and sober for over 21 years. I love my work and have always sworn to myself that I will never do anything for a living that I don't enjoy. I have managed to be fairly true to that. ************************************************************ ********** It feels like my social life revolves mostly around my work. I have no real schedule and keep some very weird hours. Most of my good friends are people I work with, since I spend so much time with them. I don't really care much for living in Los Angeles, but it is where my career is based so I am rather stuck. I also own a place out in the desert near Joshua Tree National Park, where I spend as much of my time as possible. My intention is to build a larger house there and live there full time and eventually retire there. ************************************************************ *********** I put together whitewater rafting excursions every summer for my friends and we always have a great time. Usually these are 4 or 5 day adventure trips down some river, using a licensed outfitter to handle the details. Catered camping with adventure, I call it. ************************************************************ ********** The high point of my year these days is Burning Man. http://www.burningman.com I went in 2006 and had some of the most fun I've had in my entire life... sober! You don't have to be wasted to enjoy Burning Man, but if that's your thing you sure won't be alone! For 2007 we built a kickass theme camp and had an amazing time! It was a lot of work and planning putting it all together but it all worked out and came off great! We built a huge arcade style game for people to play and had a really chill lounge with a DJ and fire spinners and dancing and whatever else. Our fresh tea and lemonade rivaled any on the playa and we went thru hundreds of gallons of it! It rocked! ************************************************************ *********** If you want a glimpse of what we did you can still check out the website I made for the camp before we left. http://destinylounge.outtatheway.com/DestinyLounge You can also check out my Flickr page for some more photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/senovvadt/ We're already working on plans for 2008, so if you think you want in, drop me a note! We can always use more like minded souls! ************************************************************ ********** Other than all that, I spend way too much time on my computer, chatting with friends, looking at cute guys, and generally poking into odd corners of the internet. I love long driving trips thru National Parks and beautiful scenery. I have been to 48 of the 50 states in my life, traveled to Rome twice, Tokyo twice, Mexico and Canada a few times, and one amazing trip to Australia where I went scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef and hiked in a rainforest. Anyway... that's all for now. Guess it beats the one line I had in this space before. Thanks for stopping by!
