My Man Steve

Dick's Man Steve, often referred to by Dick as "My Man" is Dick's friend and apprentice who Dick met and fell in love with at the Burning Man Festival in 2014.

Setup
Burning Man is an annual festival occurring approximately 100 miles northeast of Reno. The late summer event is described as an experiment in community and art. The event takes its name from its culmination, the symbolic ritual burning of a large wooden effigy "The Man" that traditionally occurs on the Saturday evening of the event.

Something's burning but it's not The Man
Dick and Steve united at the 2014 Burning Man when Steve intervened on Dick's hitch, informing him that a woman he hooked up with had chlamydia. Dick in-turn allowed Steve to move into his Hollywood home since Steve was in the midst of a nasty divorce that left him jobless and nearly homeless. Steve later moved out on good terms and found a home in Mendocino.

The Best Wedding in the Universe
Dick and Steve returned to Burning Man in 2016 with an art project of their own; an enormous 12-foot diameter analog clock that only displayed 12:00. Here too did Steve shotgun-marry The Duchess of Weed. Dick served as best man at the wedding, where Steve improvised his vows by the campfire with the giant clock ticking away behind them. The following day Dick and Steve recorded The Dick Show episode 14 which is available here for your listening pleasure.

Over-Sea Steve
Dick attended a going-away party for Steve at his Mendocino house wherein which Dick experienced the incredible misfortune of trying to travel through Sonoma County, California. The party was thrown over Steve's upcoming travel to the United Arab Emirates where he would teach theater for UCLA. The exact nature of this venture is yet unknown, however Steve made a safe return three months later much to Dick's relief - as Dick had made several voices of concern that Steve would end up breaking Sharia Law and get his hands cut off.
