Everyone knows that there is nothing quite like your virgin year. The lights, the fire, the art, the music..... How did things change on your return to the playa? My virgin year was amazing, I had a very inclusive camp and i think i slept maybe 2 hours over the 4 days i was there, it was magical and...

ive seen a lot of the bigger camps trench their wires, i assume this is ok, but, havent seen anything on it, so i cant say for sure

i think its a personal choice. last year i was in a tent, and i vowed to never do it again! although, since i have been slacking (and took a job making far less money) im sure ill say the same thing again this year. having solid shelter can be a god send, but like many people have already said, you ...

sounds fun! its always nice to see (read:read) that someone is doing something different, and im really interested to hear the whole war of the worlds broadcast, especially in that setting, might once agin re-ignite my obsession with U.F.O.s

now wheres that first season of the x files....

punk rock camp?

count me in!

any need for someone on the sound end of things? thats my specialty, but i also seem to be good at lifting and moving things as well
