Coyote and the Book Built to Burn: Tony “Coyote” Perez has been building and striking Black Rock City since 1996, back when it had a tenth of the population and user-friendliness. Two long years later he became BRC's Superintendent, and still is to this day. He’s the “Bard of the Desert” and Burning Man’s first Storytelling Fellow. Stuart and Andie talk with him about his book “Built to Burn” and the sketchy days of early Burning Man, the widows of Gerlach, a territorial cattle rancher, and a helicopter Sheriff who loses his cool. WARNING: Contains descriptions of a graphic nature. Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. by Burning Man LIVE
