On my way

Post by Jstrat » Sun May 15, 2011 1:30 am

Hi all,

I'm heading out to BRC after talking about it for ten years. I'm reading everything I can, though despite all the reading and all the photos out there I'm not sure what to expect. But I'm really excited. :)

Going solo as it stands currently. Would be interested in a theater/performing arts crowd, if anyone might tell me where to start looking. I'm so glad I'm going. When I finally got my ticket, a sort of euphoria washed over me.

I would like to volunteer afterwards, too. I'm sure there's something posted about how to do that, but I have not come across it yet. If someone can point me that way, I'd be grateful.

Thank you!

Jeff

You might start looking in the Art and Performance forum for 2011. It might give you some people ot contact and places to dig...

And while you're there, walk and bike to new places every night/day. You can look in the what/where/when guide, but there's some kind of time-space slippage and on your way to a particular event you will pass twenty others that are just so interesting that you won't reach your intended destination. Stop and introduce yourself, jump in and jam if appropriate. There are a lot of places for both scheduled and spontaneous performances. Enjoy your explorations.
