Logistics can be a pain flying, and I imagine a driving-cross-country trip would be really awesome, as I've heard from many friends that it is. However, if time is a constraint, flying is certainly doable.

Lucid484: I fly into Reno and arrange rides with camp-mates or random strangers on the internet! This year I rode in with a veteran burner from Vancouver, BC, Canada who was driving a propane-fueled Winnebago. It was awesome. Other Boston folks do the same kind of thing but fly into San Francisco. D...

Whoops, I didn't use enough. My nosebleed count for 2008 was something like 7 or 8? I don't know, it was too many. I think I need a nasal spray alarm or something. Anyway, the rest of my Burn was fantastic, and I'm already thinking about next year!

I dunno, for me it's not so much the nose tater or their nose gremlin farmer overlords that bother me. It's the uh, um, nose shoggoths, er, which tend to slither down the back of my nasal passages after I've conquered a nosebleed. But yeah, I'll have plenty of nasal spray this year, as I did last ye...

I can't find a link now, but I recall a story in one of the BRC newspapers last year telling of how a man tried to get over the railroad tracks in his car, and got his car stuck *on* the tracks. Then a freight train came along, smashed the car, and scattered all the guy's supplies over a a square mi...

Hi all, I've started posting hither and thither on eplaya so I figured I'd chime in with an introduction too. I'm Ike. I'm based out of the Boston area, and most fortunate to know a good bunch of other burners to coordinate and camp with. I'm fixated on the color Blue, I love Disco music (but I danc...

I loved the Bootie party at AutoSub last year, and you can be sure I'll be back for the one this year. A camp-mate of mine didn't get the mash-up thing, and was very skeptical for several songs... but then suddenly we were hearing "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics mashed up with "Seven Nation Army" o...

Dear Sir RedMark Slackworthy the Blue,

Your Kingdom sounds like a wondrous land, and I look forward to visiting the Castle in some variety of fully-Blue finery for great cultural exchange and intense visual contrast.

Ike, who is rather Blue.

As seen elsewhere in the forum, looks like there's a whole Orange camp; maybe they're having an orange party too?

Hooray for radically expressive/inclusive monochromatic costuming and such!

I'm hosting a Blue Gathering (and it can be a party too, if you like!)

Thursday from 7PM until Dark 'o clock or later, at, where else, the 1:11 Sapphire Portal!

Looks like there's some fun stuff!

And then there's the post-modern breakdancing....

You might be able to get some of your funk/breaks fix at the Black Rock Roller Disco; that place might also be a good rallying spot for hip-hop people even though it's really Roller-Disco focused. Last year was my first burn and I didn't see much hip-hop either, and I also felt the lack of the house...
