My first time at Burning Man, I'm ecstatic!

Post by LadyLeopard » Tue Aug 12, 2014 8:58 pm

I have been wanting to be a part of Burning Man for years. Originally I'm from New Jersey, then moved to Boston, MA for quite some time, and now I've been living just North of Los Angeles, CA working in the music industry. Because of my work, which is usually 7 days a week 24/7 type of thing, Burning Man seems like the best thing possible for myself to just step away to live and create.

I have always known I would make it, but I just never knew when. Until about 2 or 3 weeks ago and a good friend in the Boston area had an extra ticket and a couple people that dropped out of his camp, so I was in.

I didn't even have to think about it, I decided right then that 2014 is my year.


Not only do I get to go but I have a camp I can contribute to AND I will be arriving early to help them as well as any others that need a helping hand! I will be arriving as early as I can Friday August 22nd and will be there until at least September 2nd.

See you all on the playa!!!!!!!

Also if you are a veteran burner I would love to hear your experiences about your first burn! (I love stories)

*If you need a ride from the LA area on Friday August 22nd let me know, I have an extra seat!*

:coffee: Cheers :D

I know you want to hear stories, but I think you'll enjoy it more if you experience the playa without hearing what other people think about it or their experiences. Expectations suck at Burning Man.

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

Now that you're here, don't forget the Meet-n-Greet on Wednesday!

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