ANNOUNCING: New GREEK regional group!!!

Post by AtomicHeat » Thu Jan 09, 2014 7:13 pm

Hello lovely people! :D

My name is Prema and I am the new Greek regional contact for BM!
There's already a (small yet) community of burners and burn-interested people in Greece and we are planning on organizing a Greek burn!
This is very new so we can't be sure if we'll make it this year with a proper week-long burn event, but there will at least be a burner gathering of some sort, maybe 2-3 days long, sometime this summer.

I'm announcing this because we will need all the burners we can get! Greeks are very new to this and most of them are going to be virgins! So if you are interested in participating in a burn event in Greece and gifting us with your unique awesomeness, and your playa expertise, you'll be helping with spreading the burn in an extraordinary new place, making the playa ever wider, and you are more than welcome!

The ways to get informed and be in contact with the Greek burn community and event are the following:
- Email [email protected] to get in touch with the regional contact (that's me :P)
- Join the Greek Burners facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups/greekburners/ where news about any event will be posted
- Go to http://www.greekburn.org the official site of the Greek Burn (but give that one some time since it's JUST now been built. Should be up properly sometime in February.)

I'm SO excited to announce this!
A Burn. In Greece. You know. Endless blue, emerald beaches, sunny skies, awesome islands, amazing nature, etc, etc... Something awesome is bound to come out of combining these two things. :)

Have an awesome day people and I'm looking forward to meeting you under some bonfire in some part of the world. <3

Fraternities, oh laud, it better not become that.

This thread is about Greeks, whether they live in Greece, or are Greek. Greek speakers preferred :D , but it doesn't matter, as being Greek you can't hid from it... you're already crazy :lol: .
Embrace the crazy.

So totally true.
Being Greek means being crazy. There's something definitely bonkers about this people.

Though here's small correction: This thread is NOT about just Greeks, or Greek burners, this thread is basically about ANYONE interested in a burn in Greece.

Bring it on! :mrgreen:


PS. For the record, I never understood why fraternities are named with greek letters. We don't even have them in Greece! (The fraternities, not the the letters)

Please, call it GreaseFire; please, call it GreaseFire; please, call it GreaseFire...


Actually, call it what you want, it's your regional. And you certainly shouldn't kowtow to english puns.
