Hi guys, this will be my first time at burning man, and I'm worried about this whole "radical self reliance" because I'm handicapped. I walk with a limp and I'm in constant pain from my feet. I cannot walk very well or very far and I can't carry anything very heavy (like for example camping equipmen...

welcome Life:is:a:joke!

Piece of advice for hitchhiking, too. Never accept a ride unless you know that your drop-off point isn't a place where you'll get stuck, and trust me, there are a LOT of places in SoCal that aren't hitcher-friendly. For example: Orange County. Fuck that place. Not only will they refuse to give you ...

Welcome Homie, This will be my first burning man, so I really enjoyed your photos and videos, they gave me something to look forward too.

Good stuff.

Welcome chiz!

Dougly, thanks for the info! I actually like the city setting very much so being crowded is not a problem for me, so long as the city is well planned and managed. Big cities always have something fun to do. Are there any good hippie communities like Co-Op housing projects or things like that in SD? ...

Oh Dougly, do you live near SD? I'd love to hear about it. The main draw for me is that it's supposed to have the best weather in America.

SilverOrange, what an amazing coincidence! I live in Kalamazoo also, would you like to meet up and talk about life the Universe and everythin (also burning man) My favorite place in town is the Strutt, and I am extending an open invitation for you to come grab a drink on open mike night, Wednesday.

Da Mule,

Thanks and Thanks! I was wondering how to fix that box thing, and that event in SW Michigan looks SOOOOOOO amazing. I think it's less than 30 minutes drive from where I am now.

Welcome Lisa! I am a newb as well, it's godd to have company. :-)


"i think we all have the right to call ourselves goddesses - who the hell ever heard of one goddes?"

Can I be "Mr. Goddess then"? lol

[quote="oneeyeddick"]Welcome, Wanderman !!! Now that you are an educated, [i]professional[/i] hitch-hiker, does that mean that you will travel south in the winter and roam northward in the summertime, or would that make you just "one of the flock?".[/quote] haha, My current plan is to do a loop in t...

Ugly Dougly,

I've played the saxophone since 6th grade. I love it more than I will ever love a woman, lol.

I just learned the guitar this year, and I sing a little.

Do you play? We should jam in Nevada

Hi there guys! I'm coming to burning man for the first time. It's something I wanted to do for years. When I was 18, 19 and 20 I had some pretty good adventures, I hitch-hiked and couchsurfed across America a few times, and also Europe, I wrote and played the saxophone as I went. But then, sadly, I ...
