first time burner from san diego :)

Burning Man has been on my mind a lot these past couple of years.... I decided that it is just a beautiful reality i will never be able to experience.

I recently moved to San Diego and started to reach out in order to meet new people. I met someone in particular, who shared their own personal experience at the burn with me...I was so deeply moved by listening to his story, i could just picture myself at the playa, dancing, in the mist of the white dust. I could almost feel the burn of the raging fire on my face. Listening to his story literally put me there, and awoke my soul that night.

Burning Man is my calling this year...I had to stop making excuses and start planning. Now that I have officially got time off from work, everything is starting happen and its so exciting :)

I have several groups of friends going. Some have been before and some this year will be there first time.
I know i have a lot to learn and probably wont get it all the first time, but at least my mind is set...I am going this year, and i will lose myself in Black Rock City

Welcome eplaya, dAnCeS 4 tHe SuN and IamJP.

San Diego has a fairly active burner community, including a weekly meet-up and frequent get-togethers. Get yourselves in the loop here: http://regionals.burningman.com/regiona ... san-diego/

When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
That is a beautiful occupation.
