It has been my dream to go to burning man since I first heard about the event in 2005 (I was 18, am now 24). In 2009 and 2010 I successfully applied for and received a scholarship ticket for BM, but by the time the event was looming each year I was too broke to finance my way even with the discounted ticket and had to give my ticket up (so as to be responsible and let some other hopeful make use of this awesome opportunity) Yeah, it freakin sucked. This year, I just graduated with my BA and had planned on going traveling overseas during the time when BM was set to happen, so I didnt apply for a scholarship ticket. A tragedy in my family had sadly left me unable to do this either and I find myself in a really weird situation - that is, in the States, able to theoreticcaly afford to go, but not knowing what to do ior where to begin and starting to plan really late. Coupled with that, tickets are going to sell out pretty soon so decisions need to be made quickly. I want so badly to go to Burning Man, but I have no one to go with, no camp to join, and very limited funding to do it. So Im in a quandary: recent events in my life have highlighted the fact that life is fucking short, and that you should seize the moment. On the other hand I am quite broke and would only be able to afford to go if I proverbially hitched my wagon to someone else who has been before and can, you know, guide me in the ways of self-reliant playa living.
Im a singer, a guitarist, I hoop, and I did it once on fire.
any advice?? anything? I appreciate it.
