Hey everyone! I'm Frosty from the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. area but, originally from Ohio. I've been aware of Burning Man for awhile however, after a rather rough summer, I decided I really need to make some changes in my life and BM seemed like a good place to begin that process. A few months ago I started doing some research and since then I have been....well obsessed I guess would be the best word. I have spent literally entire days doing research, coming up with ideas, and making plans for BM. I honestly have no idea why I want to go to BM so bad, I just know I HAVE to go (does that sound weird?).
Ever since I was young I have been fascinated with fire. It's amazing I never hurt myself actually. I love to play with LEDs and lights and I have a degree in electronics so even better (I'm a wizard with Parallax's micro controllers). What I'm really looking forward to is a chance to be myself in a environment that not only allows it but expects it. I've never really had a chance to do that.
Don't worry. I don't expect BM to be the answer to all my problems. I guess I'm not suppose to expect anything. I've spent most of my time and energy making plans to get there and survive and let what ever happens, happen. Unfortunately, all my money is going into a down payment for a house so I don't think I can make it to 2009

but come 2010 and beyond. I'M FUCKING THERE! I know, I know. I should go to a regional and find some people to tag along with but I'm kinda shy...painfully so when I first meet someone. I have a really hard time just walking up to people and starting a conversation. It's one of the things I want to work on at Burning Man.
I have a whole bunch of ideas I would like to run by you guys but that can wait for other posts.
