Looking forward to getting out there and finally saying HI and hugs all round.

Funny thing about tickets being sold out i got an email yesterday (or the day before) telling me i have a staff ticket waiting for me ($160) at will call, as i'm fire safety for the english firedancers. any suggestions anyone? I've already got my own ticket -also at will call but i changed the name once already
also as this is the pm lounge and its easier than pming around anyone able to offer me some fire safety tips on the playa?

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Oh no! This thread died off again (and I totally didn't notice :oops: ). Just wanna say that even though I'm not a super poster on eplaya, I really do enjoy creeping the threads on this forum during my down time, while occasionally throwing a post in here or there. I'd probably post more if I'd met some of you face - to - face (penpals after the burn anyone?), otherwise I still can't wrap my head around an online conversation when my frame of reference is an avatar pic. Example: jella is a goat.... wha? I really hope to meet a few of you peeps at Meet n Greet or some other time during the burn. :wink:

Fufa, I find that people don't gel for me 100% until I meet them in person, too. Then it's like the last piece of the puzzle snaps into place, and reality goes from black and white to color. Or from 2 shades of khaki and orange to color. :)

The best part is, in my experience, people are always much more fun in person.

I cannot say this for myself, mind you (I might be quieter and more awkward in person, especially at first, or with introverts) but anyone else I already like seems like a goddamned rock star in the flesh.

Burning Man isn't about the stuff you see when you get there ....it's about the people that brought that stuff there

Thanks for that link Jella. That picture of FIGJAM is priceless and made me laugh myself to tears!
Suck it.

That's what's funny. Only because I laugh when I'm creeped out.

I hate to disagree with you but you are a super poster. I enjoy reading your posts. Fewer posts make each one even better!
A penpal is a wonderful thing. I have dozens of postcards to bring to which I have attached an address label and a stamp. All that is needed are words and a jog to the mailbox!

Penpals by postcard is a super sweet way to go. It takes the pressure off both parties, is light hearted, and it provides many beautiful pictures for your wall, fridge, or album!

YOU are a rockstar! Thank you dear for putting my thoughts into words.


And Figgy, thanks for the laughs. You're a rockstar too!

Aww thanks foxfur! You're a sweetie pie. Postcard penpals is such a cool idea. I buy postcards as souvenirs when I go on trips and keep them in a photo album with ticket stubs and whatnot from the same trip included. It makes for cheap, easy, and effective storage of memories and odds and ends! The Mister has a thick pad of Gumby stationary that when you fold the paper in half it becomes an envelope. I keep bugging him to send me random prose in the mail, but I haven't gotten anything yet. I think he forgot :roll:
