planning my 2nd year

looks like i will be returning to BRC this year. it will only be my second year and looks like my planner for last year isn't coming with me so i was trying to figure out where i am camping and all that. last year ludo was kind enough to help us out so that may be an option this year as well. I will be bringing some first timers with me and would like to have a game plan. I can put together the supplies since i have been before but other than that i dont really know where to start. if it would be easier i was wondering if we could join a camp and share resources.. as i may be in need of a shade structure if i can't find one before then. anyone have any advice or ideas for a second timer.

Did you really name yourself the Beacon...you know it's a newpaper out there....right ?

( at least you didn't name yourself "honeybucket" )

yeah.. it's been my myspace address for a long time and i made this before i really knew anything about bman last year so i could try to figure things out.. and now i just dont have the option to change it.. i suppose i could always make a new email address just for taht.. which i may end up doing.. cause it does seem a little ridiculous.. ha

Well, if your Ludo is the Ludo, there's some good will you can cash in on.

Many theme camps repeat year after year, so check the burningman.com list of 08 camps for one that matches your philosophy and/or geography, and then the 09 when it updates...

Or with enough of you, just camp together as an unregistered mini-theme (or themeless) camp.

Some packing lists are available at http://burningmanchicago.ning.com/page/ ... d-survival and with a group, you can divy up the common tools, and chip in together on a shade structure...
