David "DK" Katz

For those who may not know me (or know of me), I am David Katz, aka "DK" and other names that I can not proudly repeat in a public forum. Last year was my first year actually going to the great big burn in the dessert. I camped with KK, and loved every second of it. Last year I had the privilege of running costume acquisitions and running the dome on playa, and it was a blast. So much fun in fact that I just had to volunteer to run the entire camp this year! Yay KK!

If I had to be described as an animal, I would probably say that I am the monster living under your bed. Even when you can't see it, you know its there quietly doing its thing. And no matter what it does, you love it because its a part of your life that you can never give up. Yay monsters and beds!

I am relatively new to the Burning Man scene and to KK, with last year being my first burn. This is sad for me, as I truly wish I had made my way into your lives earlier. I was born to go to Burning Man and it is truly tragic that I did not come to accept this until recently. Burning Man is awesome. Costumes are awesome. Your life will be awesome if you are in a costume and at Burning Man.

While I am trapped in the default world between burns, I practice corporate law in NY. This is not as exciting as Kostume Kult, so there is no need to elaborate on what that means.

I am also a proud member of the TOAD crew (http://www.facebook.com/Itstoad) and have produced a number of events for KK this year and participated in the rest of them in some fashion. I recently began DJing, and look forward to doing so on playa including a Friday night set on the Nautilus art car (Pirate Night!) with Boris "Burning Elf" Connell which you all should come out for.

Looking forward to partying with each and every one of you on playa! Love you all!
