Armadillo Puttanesca has participated in every Burning Man since her first in 2003, where she was present at the conception of an idea that helped become Transformus. She has attended each Transformus since the first one in 2004, except in 2005. Armadillo is the volunteer Burning Man Wedding Coordinator and one of four Washington D.C. Burning Man Regional Contacts. Besides Transformus, Armadillo has attended Playa del Fuego and Flipside and is looking forward to attending her first PreHeat. She is excited to be working with the amazing people who help make Transformus the fantastic event that it is.

Kitty Love has attended Transformus in ‘05, ‘07 and ‘09. She is a co-founder and former Director of Asheville’s Lexington Avenue Arts & Fun Festival (LAAFF), an event which was created to promote creative culture and essentially functions in such a way as to bring the principles of Transformus to the masses.

Kitty is a self-employed tattooist of 20 years, and Executive Director of the arts & social service based non-profit Arts 2 People, which produces LAAFF and the Asheville Mural Project as well as educational, outreach and performing arts programs.

Treat first came to Transformus in 2008 because it was only three hours away and not very-expensive far away like the big one in the desert (this'll be my 5th year in the desert camping with Lamplighters). I haven't been kicked out yet; so I'm back for my third year spending another steamy July weekend together with this indescribable crew of amazing people. This year I've really taken the plunge and I'm humbled to be serving on the planning committee. I'm new to this level of responsibility but one thing I'm sure of is that I'll be doing my level best to represent the community and the principles of a burn as we put together the best Transformus yet. You can contact me anytime: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  I know I miss you all the moment I leave the gates and look forward to next year. There's something magic at work here. I'm not exactly sure what, but I know it has something to do with love and respect. Look me up for a hug the next time we all get together.

Winter Sun is an '08 and ‘09 Transformus and Alchemy attendee who hopes to share his time and enthusiasm for burning with the community at large. Winter's academic background is in biology but he makes his living in Chattanooga TN as a self-styled artist/craftsman. Though a relative newbie to the burner scene, he is committed to serving the Transformus community with his time and talents, and eager to learn more about pulling off a safe, fun and successful burn.
