I first met Chris at my brothers 17th birthday (i was 13 at the time) where he made the comment "uh by the way isnt that my son's shirt your wearing?" i replyed with a bright red face some incomprehensible stuttering of "uhhh ummm i uhhh" which kiwi found rather amusing as he laughed and gave me a friendly pat on the back. It was then that i decided that he was the coolest dad i had ever met. it was a couple of years after this that he made the transition from "jasons dad" to chris/kiwi (or occasionally cinammon) both of which are always excellent company, whether it be dancing to some house music, drinkin some beers, or just having a good old fashioned rant. I will never forget how happy i was to see him at the gate when i entered my first kiwiburn, an event that without his help and hard work would not have been what it was, or will continue to be. Chris, i'm so glad i got to know you on a personal level and not just as sam and jason's dad, you are always a joy to be around, and never fail to put a smile on my face :)

Ahhh yes it was funny the day i started calling you Kiwi instead of Chris, ok not that i actually remember that day but whatever, its funny. Well Kiwi, he just gets shit done and makes things happen, never any bitching, ok i hear you bitching about Jason but that dosnt count. I love that atmosphere that you create where ever you are, the domes, the hostel, the paddock, its all so freaking cool. I love being around you and youve always cared for me you big sloppy sissy bitch cock sucking ass licking cunt donkey dick fucker! Your funny.

I think i would go as far as to say that this guy is my burning man daddy as well as me general surrogate daddy. In fact what the hell would i be doing right now i never knew you huh? Going to school or some crap like that. The world school you keep saying to me! haha.

I love ya buddy
