"To appreciate AYE for what it is you really have to be there. Reading about it just isn't the same. There's the desert setting with its blue skies, date palms, bright sunshine and spectacular sunsets. And there's the unconditional warmth and sincerity of the hosts and attendees that has eveything to do with spirit, and nothing to do with profit." - TimBacon
