> It?s been three weeks since we packed up the Tea House and said goodbye to the playa. What an amazing experience that was. We created a beautiful space that sheltered and served many hundreds of people seeking tea, conversation and place to rest. And we worked together with a wise and illuminated group of volunteers who carefully shaped the energy and kept the Tea House open day and night. What fun.

> Many thanks to everyone who set aside time out of their Burn to pour, wash cups, and hold space. Our collective efforts drew out our truest and most radiant selves. We had, by far, the most loving and together tea crew ever. 
> 
> A special thank you to our build crew for rolling onto the playa early with us to wrangle logistics. Twilight, Khrusty, Patricio, Stacy, Cheddar, Veeta, and Thor Cat made it happen with fearless good humor. A deep bow of gratitude also to our Tea Master Fritz, our tea blender Felix Thunderstorm, Senior Tea Advisors Gordie, Ash, Jeff, Oshan and Travis, Tea Mistress Virga, our Tea Magician Ra, and our playa family from Dust Hazard who helped shape and hold the Tea Vision en route to Black Rock City.

Swaroop Raju, Rishi, Ryan, Elderman, Fiona, Sky Bleu, Cameron, Irena, Mike Hack, Brittany Hack, Reed, FiFi, 88, Katy, Aria, Batz, Ratna, Kate, Eve, Thermo, Roz, EmilyBoo, Lake, Jan, Gab, Nick, Rober, Juice, Kersten, Daniel H., Nicole G, Xandra, Melanie, Virga, Deacon, Benjamin, Ana, Papillon, Andy, Atica, Naiya, Rosie, Cam, Daniel H., Felix, Xandra, Melanie, Adam, Doc, Ra, Lolly, FiFi, 88, Marta, Stewie, CoolKid, Scott, Roo, Fritz, Tank, Lauren, Seven, Mogwai, Mal, Pez, Kirk, Ruth, and Little Monkey. The Tea House was conceived as community performance art and you, fine crew,  brought it to another level. There are people who served whose names are not here. Please help us name and locate them so we can thank them properly.

> Those who remained behind to take down and pack up the Tea House were superheroes. Extra thanks to Tinker and Africa for being the soul of kindness, and Khrusty, Cheddar, Veeta, Twilight and Melanie for making sure that we left our site pristine. Striking camp was the most challenging part of this year?s experience and we carried each other through it. We even took the giant crystals from the Cavern to the Reno dump.
> 
> Special thanks to Twilight for founding ATL and taking on the burden of accounting, to Pez for careful publicity, Golden for skillful site management, Khrusty for stepping up to become the mayor of ATL, Thor Cat for his patient strength, Patricio for inspired engineering, Triva for catering build week, Cheddar for a near impossible packing job, Deacon for being the last tea bartender standing, Tango and DustBunny for being sublime officers of the day, Anonymouse and Allegra for their watchfulness, Roz for her competence and good stories, and Wilbur for creating the Evapatron without which we would have been overwhelmed by grey water. 
> 
> While we are all resting, integrating and reflecting on what we learned from this year?s Tea House, we are beginning to talk about what we want to do next year. Please let us know if you have suggestions for improvement ? or want to help bring the Tea House to Burning Man 2013 and other events. If you have Tea House photos, we would love to see them. If there is someone who should be added to this list, please let us know. We welcome all your ideas and your beautiful energy. Namaste friends. Until next time. We hold you in our hearts.
