Thank you for all the get well wishes! They all help- it's weird I had never really been sick before, never have had to visit a hospital for an illness and then wham. All in all the experience has taught me a lot, but trust me I can't wait 'till it's over! I never thought I'd want to go to work agai...

Nah- me not replying had nothing to do with shame or anything related. The past 4-5 days have been some of the most painful in my life, had an emergency operation to remove an infection that just about killed me and have been just snapping out of my morphine/pain induced deliriousness just yesterday...

Thank you for your response delinquent- I appreciate it a ton as it was probably one of the only supportive response I got. Honestly I don't see why so many people took such a negative attitude to my question. I was just curious and wanted to figure out my situation and not get berated by a ton of p...

There's only so much you can know about a person based on corresponding via e-mail. I doubt that many people who join a camp are in constant contact with their camp leaders throughout the year (and for some it's simply a last minute decision- while other's I'm sure are really involved- I reckon it's...

Thanks for the advice!!

Well I'm not sure if the entire village is out of room, but the camp they're in is (Snow Koan). I've been messaging some of the other camps that make up the village, but I haven't heard back from them. I'm hoping somehow I can be squeezed into one of the Nectar Village camps- maybe I'm being too imp...

Well - your comment was a bit snarky- nor am I looking for a mother- but honestly for a camp where I'd be paying 300+ bucks for I certainly hope they'd provide the basics and a little more, no? Ideally I'd like to pay to have to have those basics covered so that I don't have to lug that myself, but ...

No they had applied first early on and got in and then tried to get me in, but there was no space :( I admit I started my quest to find a camp a little too late (I fell into old habits and procrastinated)- so either it will work out some how and I will find something or .....well who knows what'll h...

I've been trying to get a hold of some camps, but I haven't gotten any responses as of yet and am getting worried since there are only 3 weeks or so left 'till our gathering. 2 of my friends got into Snow Koan camp, but unfortunately there was no space for me- so now it'll just be me. Snow Koan camp...

Thanks for the positive feedback- I'll look into the stagger camps. I'm so excited.... all I've been doing as of late is figuring out what kind of BM get up I can create. What do you guys generally wear>?

Thank you for the warm welcome! Heh, you're right- if my friends aren't on board maybe it's just not the time for them to be coming. If I've traveled the world by myself- I think I can tackle BM. It's fun to even think how I'm going to make it out there- such adventure... just what I've been yearnin...

Hey guys! Your camp idea sounds really welcoming and piqued my curiosity. This will be my first year attending and I'm still figuring out the logistics of everything- I would be bringing a tent, food and as much water as I can bring while ridesharing out to BM. I was curious as to what the camp fee ...

Hey thanks for the links and guidance- I feel better knowing I can tackle it alone :)

I'm planning on attending BM for the first time these year and would love to find other burners in my area. I'm a pretty chill, open minded, energetic, fun person to have in a group. I can cook, clean, be responsible or not- I'm as adaptable as they come. Even if you're not from the area- I would li...

It's held in Santa Fe around Sep every year. It's definitely more family-themed/oriented event. I actually just moved to NM last Fall and attended my first Zozobra- it's pretty cool for what it is, but I imagine it's nothing compared to burning man (I'll be going to Burning Man for the first time th...

Hey everybody! My name is Patrick/23 yrs old and I think the time is right to make this journey out to the desert to experience Wonderland and meet like-minded travelers. Unfortunately I might have to make this journey alone as nobody I know is on board with the idea. I'm spontaneous enough to go at...
