I missed this before (I faded off eplaya during my 5 year playa absence) so thanks for bumping it!
I used to be WAY more snarky but in more recent years I've turned closer to the way you put it. Or at least I try to.

I missed this too, the first time around. (those couple of weeks before the burn are really hard to witness in here if you can't go that year)

Matters not. These are timelessly appropriate words we could all do well to read from time to time. Can't say I saw them too late.

Love you, Yiggy.

I missed this post last year, too... probably too busy getting it all together.

be open.
curious.

stay hydrated.
and happy......you'll be blown away what you'll see and do, if you just drop all expectation, go in as a new person in a new world, and soak it up!!
Spot on!

Well except, I think maybe inside Pershing County Jail is not the correct way to Burn. :wink:

Refreshing post, cause, as a newb here, I gotta say, the exchange of ideas is a bit less... I dunno... unmolested than I figured it would be. Of course, I should know better at my age that the jaded and the dismissive and the judgmental are just a part of life. 8)
