Five months later he had a second chance. Both attended the weeklong Burning Man art festival, which draws more than 30,000 people to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. [He] was sleeping in a geodesic tent, pitched near the site where [she] was staying in an RV with five other people.

Ah, that's where the name comes from! Thanks! Anyway, congratulations to Craig Maldonado and Vanessa Grigoriadis. We can't wait for New York's "Love on the playa" cover story.
