If you look even remotely close to your early 20', carry an ID. You just may get carded to get a drink. If you get carded & don't have an ID, move on. Don't throw a fit. Bring that ID or expect to be refused a drink at many fine playa establishments.
Don't try to gift the bartender cheap mass-produced schwag. They have plenty, trust me. Treat them well- their not your "server", they're fellow Burners serving 80 proof love.[/quote]
I got away underage via catch 22 my first and 2nd year, sorry, nobody asked, but they should be now. I'll be carrying that ID. and I was once tending a small bar, best 2 gifts given to the bar was a bottle of imported absinthe, and raspberry schnapps. whoever those two random people who gifted alcohol to random bar camps, I envy thee.

after dark, head down your radial street to the Esplanade, continue out into open playa. At 500 yards, turn around and search out tall, lit things to use as beacons to guide you home each night...
Learn the layout system, and get that one thing to help at night. I don't know what I'd have done without Spanky's.

A friend of mine did once follow a laser for an hour or so before realizing she couldn't get any closer to it 'cause it was moving. 
Here's a good tip for Newbs: use baby wipes in a re-sealing container (zip-lock style) press the air out & make sure it's truly sealed when you're done. Pop-up wipes dry out faster, even when the lid is down. (Not like you couldn't attempt to rehydrate your wipes, especially from a spigot/bottle that hasn't had a mouth on it.)
I've had success with the press-to-close ziplock closure on the giant fragrance-free Huggies, but I might repackage mine in a 1.25 gallon slider ziploc bag (or two) this year. A slider closure is easier to be sure of.
