Greetings from yet another new burner

Post by JohnB » Sat Jun 27, 2015 8:34 am

Hi all,

I'm JohnB (for now anyhow haha) and I am new to the burning experience as of this year (2015).
I am from Grand Rapids, MI and am excited to learn all I can to better help me to absorb all that I can at the burns.
So far I have attended 2 burns this year, BEquinox and Lakes O'Fire and am looking forward to my first Burning Man experience.
Thank you for having me,
Best,
JohnB

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Welcome

JohnB! Welcome and please just jump on in. Contrary to popular opinion we don't bite too hard and love newbies. Feel free to ask questions, provided you've made some attempt at research lol, but really we are nice and new people are fun to watch.
