Only 499 days to go

Post by engineer2012 » Fri Apr 15, 2011 11:37 pm

Yes!!!!! In 499 days (August 27, 2012) I shall enter BRC. Then, finally, I will be able to really feel the connection of what I think it is the most magical and liberating place on earth. Greetings and love for you all

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Welcome Engineer2012. If you would consider changing your name by just one digit, you can cut your wait to get to the playa substantially!
Imagine being being able to say, "only 140 days to go"?

Yes, I would like to, the only thing is, I am from the Netherlands and it takes quite some time to prepair and arrange things like saving days off, and saving money to make it happen. My family (wife and two kids) will not be joining me in 2012 and family vacation will have to go on as well. But next year, I promise you, I will be there, together with my brother. Meanwhile, I read and learn from you all, here on e-playa. Greetings

Welcome!

Sounds like you'll have a well planned burn.

You can stay extra days and help strike camp(s) and to help MOOP, Monday and Tuesday, without special permission. It might be something to consider, two bonus days! If you can swing the extra time off.

@Moonrise
This is actually a great idea. I planned to fly home on wednesday already. Do I have to apply on forehand for helping with the MOOP or a camp breakdown? Or during the event? Where? I will read some more!! Thanks for the tip.

If you leave on Wednesday, you'll be alright.

Welkom op de bijna woestijn!

Oh, I see. You're going to kill the wife and sell the kids into slavery to raise money? Economically, it's an excellent idea.
