Jimmy likes Elaine. Jimmy thinks Elaine is hot.

Jimmy's got some new moves! Check Jimmy out!

I just moved to Jacksonville from the Sacramento area. Are there any burners in north Florida?

There are burners all through FL and GA. Check out some of the regionals:

Afterburn in Lakeland, FL: http://www.floridaafterburn.info/

Alchemy in GA: http://www.alchemyfestival.com/

Thanks!!

I've checked out the Lakeland one already (only 3.5 hours from me) and would love to have some North FL peeps to attend it with. It's always more fun (and environmentally friendly) to travel in a group.

I'm also hoping there are some local burners that can welcome me to the default world of north Florida. . . it's very conservative here. I have yet to find a place that will recycle my cardboard boxes, let alone people who think outside the box.

I think I might start a meetup.com group for Jax Burners. If you see this and are in N Florida, please look for it on meetup.org.

I'll do it some time next week (can't do it today).

AGREED.. FL is a very difficult place for us to handle socially. As beautiful as it is here, the people are my only complaint. You really have to work to find the outlets and snippets of beautiful/out of the box people, as they are few and far between. I handle it by finding my own fun and enjoying all of the other things that living in FL has to offer.. like water, beaches, boating, springs, etc etc etc and just tune into that and try to tune out the racist redneck BS or plastic fantastic douchebaggery. It can be done, but is going to take some serious adjustment coming from CA..

Hi I'm Pat the Fire Cat, and this will be my first Afterburn this November, and 2011 will be my first BRC
but I have been fortunate to have been part of Flipside's Pyropolis since 2oo1~

Just keep in mind, that these Afterburn/Decompressions are not the playa, but a great way to meet other burners.

I'm back -- I've been down for the count with migraines & then a bad cold. I plan to start that meetup.com group later today for North Florida burners.

Here's the link:

I paid the monthly dues for 1 month ($19). If no one responds in 2 months, I'll take down the site.

I am a new burner from Jacksonville, Fl. I will sign up for your site. I would like to hear from all florida burners to see how many are going to 2011 Burning Man.

I didn't realize they would sell out so fast!! I missed my chance, too. no regional burn for me, either....BOOOOO!!

Looks like you're stuck with a DIY regional meet up instead.... better than nothing!

If you are interested in doing a meet up and you are in North Flrodia check this site out on meetup.com.

I'm close to the airport (MCO)...funny how Orlando is so large while also incredibly small.

Hello fellow Floridians! I'm also attending 2011 as a virgin and I'm in the Jacksonville area. Our plan is to rent a small rv if we can get the money together.

Jess Luz · Post by **Jess Luz** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:59 pm

yet another jacksonville first time burner here...super stoked to see that other jax peeps are headed to BRC as well. we're flying into vegas and are being picked up by a friend going to BM from new mexico so i can't be of assistance to those looking for rides and whatnot, BUT, it would be nice to have some local burners to hang with on the playa, and perhaps even when we're in jax.

LorenRose · Post by **LorenRose** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 9:40 pm

heyy florida burners!! I'm a virg as well. I don't think I'll be going this year. I just moved to FL. firefro you're from jville? pm me!!! ahh I'm so excited to see ways to get to BRC from here.

LorenRose · Post by **LorenRose** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 9:42 pm

I have been wanting to go to Burning Man for 2 years and I decided that 2011 is the year for me. I have read up on a lot of the material provided by the site but I am here to ask the veterans for any newby advice not illustrated on the website. Especially for someone who is travelling from Florida.

Thanks in advance and I can not wait to see you all in 2011.

Firefro

Hello Firefro!

I'm also from Florida (Citrus). Always happy to meet other others who will be attending Burning Man. This will be my second burn! I can't wait... I just check on-line and I should have my tickets either today or tomorrow!
