Hometown: New YorkJoyism
Joyism is a camp of some 50 people, whose major contribution is to provide coffee in the mornings between 8 and 11 AM. Several hundred people come by every day. It is clearly a very valuable commodity. We have to bring in a large quantity of water, and we have at least five urns simmering at any one time. People come from several blocks away. Joyism camp is also the informal home of the Joyism artcar, the temple of our new religion Joyism, and from which we serve up, live bands on the front, margaritas for participants of critical tits, and Playa weddings. We also have a climbing wall for users of all levels.
