Hello from Boise

[Archivirex]

Hi everyone! I am a native Idahoan born and raised in Boise. I am learning about this awesome community. Here locally we have a small festival called the Konnecxion festival, but I've not been to it yet.

I recently started making music in 2020 after graduating BSU in accounting and finance, and started an accounting career. Before, that I became a banker and my buddy was a regular festival goer. He got me hooked on edm and here we are!

Please tell me about yourselves! What kinds of things are you involved in? What are some guidelines and how do you connect and get involved? Are there any musicians here? Artists? What are some cool places near Idaho you know of? I am hyped to go to Burning Man I'm pretty old though 40 now haha. Is that too old to go and have fun?

Welcome to ePlaya. We have a lot of experienced burners here on playa logistics and burner culture. You will be fine and have fun.

First, for app prospective burners there is a worldwide network https://regionals.burningman.org/. If you follow the links you will find websites, social media groups, happy hours, and regional mini-burning man campouts. You may find a local art project or a camp to help with, and make more burner friends.

Many Boise dance parties have a lot of burners, and many Idaho camp out dance parties have a lot of burners.

Some burners like costumes and outfits, but not from a Halloween store. So if you want to add that to your preparation, meet some other burners and collaborate.

There are a good 2 dozen outdoor dance festivals between BC, WA, OR & ID, most with a younger vibe, but none do art on the scale of Black Rock City.

If you are curious about Black Rock City there is a lot in the Census https://burningman.org/about/history/br ... nsus-data/

I'm a local Boise guy. Been going to the event on and off since 2009. My first advice would be to check into the Xanadu project in Boise. It's a local collective of Burners doing art and great community things. That's what that thing in the desert is really about.

Dig around. If you have questions remaining after copious reading: we love original questions, because we receive so very few, truly new questions in the first place.

Google your question, plus the word eplaya, and we usually already have the answer for you.

Burners like people who study, and people who try.

I am hyped to go to Burning Man I'm pretty old though 40 now haha. Is that too old to go and have fun?

No. Christ Almighty. Burning Man started more than a generation ago. Attendees range from early 20's to . . . pretty advanced at this point. I know Burners in their 70's.

So.
