152 Steve Hermosillo: Burning Man & Running Ok Corral(a 19-Year Theme Camp)

Noble Warrior with CK Lin

My next guest is Steve Hermosillo. He leads a yearly pilgrimage of 60 revelers to Burning Man where their theme camp, I'm OK, You're OK Corral, erects a saloon that slings drinks, live music, guest DJs, and a bevy of shenanigans. It's their collective gift to the community and 2022's event marked the camp's 19th year bringing their camp to Black Rock City.
