back to burning man this year from the UK, but this time I've been all clever and given myself 20 days from the end of the festival until my flight. So i'm planning planning. I have just finished 4 weeks solo hiking in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hakpshire/Maine, and now I am thinking ...

It stunning huh?
I just got out after 4 weeks solo hiking. it was wonderful.
I was under the impression that the last possible ascent of Kathadin was Oct 15...... maybe i got that wrong. I met quite a few AT crew. They were cool guys.
LOVE THE WHITES

Isn't the Burning Pub still happening? I know that was a london event, but i thought Brighton had one too.... They meet once a week for drinks and to meet new people.

Spannk you

Hey people, I'm doing 3 weeks hiking in the White mountain national forest (NH). I would be interested to hear from burners in the area, especially if you would like to come along for a day or two or more.... Heading to nevada this august too!!! i would like to hear from community farmers, wild swim...

25k miles?
or 2.5k?
I reckon 25k will get you much further than Nevada.... In fact it might just get you right the way around and back to Alaska.
Sounds ace either way to be honest

I've been away for a year, but back this year with the added thrill of a cross continent train from Boston.... I am really looking forward to re-connecting with everyone from '09: That awesome guy, what was his name, yeah him, from the drum banging tent - we really got each other's rhythm. And there...

Hey! We were in your exact position two years ago. Happy to say we are going back this year.... So we stayed here http://www.sanremohotel.com/ Its like an old stage post or something. Its a cute place, prety ancient, nice vibe, nothing at all fancy, but definitely friendly. Plus it was like $60 a ni...

awite guv'nors, what's tricks? We are bringing a Cockney Knees up show to the Burn this year all the way from London. Music hall, pearly kings, cheap gags, drag etc. will all feature along with so much audience participation you too will be believe you were born within earshot of the Bow Bells!!! We...

I met these two and would love to find them to stay in touch. If anyone has any info please let met know.

Thanks

I object to the use of the word "Cell" as it is one normally reserved for spies and terrorists of whcih we (or at I) are neither. I am required to state that to the US immigration officials.

Yikes I'm leaving tomorrow!!!

I've got a hunch i know this group of VIXENS and they are nothing short of miraculous.......

thanks guys!!!
I think we might rent a house for a few days, although the couch surfing idea is amazing.
Do you have 3.5 couches??? We could probably make do with 3. Depends on the size of those US sofas!!!

We are 5 UK first time burners coming to SF for 3 days before heading to Reno. Does anyone have any recommendations for hotel suites/apartments/hostels/B&Bs etc. that could house us all. I guess we would like something fun and young, in a good neighbourhood that wont break the bank. Any suggestions ...

if I had the goose that laid the golden egg, we would all be going to Burning man courtesy of Me. As it is, the jars of specimins of which I speak, used to be human, but have undergone a transformation.

Well we want to get a game of playa cricket going, so hopefully you can be 3rd batsman....

Liz, were you touched by a druid as a child by any chance?

That was our inital plan, but I have had some conflicting messages from people that claim to know whats what. However, I really don't want to stress out about it. We were always going to bring everything we needed to survive the week anyway, so if we find a camp, great, if we build a camp with our n...

Greeting from the UK. I am collecting together a small sample of specimen creatures I have collected from various corners of this planet and bringing them to your desert. There are 5 of us in total, although we may be 6 soon. We are looking for a camp to get involved with, to offer our services to, ...

Yeah we kind of figured that we'd camp alone, but then I met someone the other day who said it is important to find a camp beforehand. However, it looks like we have left it too late. We are driving from sf in a transit van, so we should be able to get all the stuff we need to make our own camp, and...

Greetings! We are a group of 5 living thousands of miles apart who are converging on the playa for our first ever BM. We have boys, girls, vegetarians, carnivores, queers, straights, couples, singles, europeans, north americans, all of whom are pursuing very different lives bound together by a stron...

Reading this thread has put my mind at ease actually. We are 4 coming from UK 1 from Canada, and we were kind of freaking out about not having anywhere to camp. But what I now understand (correct me if I'm wrong) is that as long as we are prepared to be alone we will probably get on fine and may wel...

Greetings from the United Kingdom, and from a boy who is getting progressively more excited about his first burning man! As if things couldn't get any better 4 of my best friends on the planet are coming with me. We have a big favour to ask....... Can anyone put us up, or suggest someon who might re...

Guys I am not going to be recording stuff onto anything. Nor will i be bringing any electrical equipment, generator or speakers. I am coming from the UK, by plane! Haha. I certianly won't be spending 5k. Its just a bit of fun that I hope I will be able to incorporate into a camp or other project or ...

The media have taken over my ears!!! Another worry to add to the list.

Yikes.

Excuse my ignorance but does a hifi video deck play 78s? If so I have never heard of it. It is not so much that I want to stick to analog, I want to play my 78s. Anyway, I have inadvertently started the same thread in two different boards now, so i hope I don't get the sack from the eplaya. See you ...

Chap is a very liquid word in my parts.
Sorry fishy.

I totally agree with wedeliver: how these machines work is still a real mystery to me. How something as crude as a needle can interpret invisible grooves and transorm them into trumpets, string and even the human voice, is still beyond me, so don't even get me starter on CD or Mp3. The mind boggles....

Thanks everyone for your input. I think the overall message was YES to the music, but NO to the consequences. Well I have a secret, I own not one but 4 grammophones, and the one I plan to bring cost me £25 British Pounds. Its a real beauty, but if it gets damaged or irreprably broken, I will be ups...

Don't worry, i'm bringing one I found in an antique shop for £25.
The other ones are staying home.....

If you really do bring some records, be sure to let me know, and we'll meet somewhere in the dust.
