Determined to Burn in 2016

Post by TRigger12 » Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:41 am

Morning, peeps. I missed out on tix in the main sale, but am determined to burn this year. The playa has been calling for some time and this is my year. I'm pretty sure the universe is orchestrating this adventure in just the way I need. I'm a crazy planner by nature--I've read and re-read the first time burner guide so so many times and I've already had the time off work approved--so I'm pretty sure I'll find my ticket just a few weeks prior to the burn. I'm looking forward to this wild ride.

Welcome TRigger12. That's the spirit. Prep like a madman. Search like a hunting dog. Smile like a one year old and never say never. See you in the dust.

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

Good luck!!!! You're definitely on your way towards preparedness and make me realize that I too need to just start stockpiling stuff and assume I am going rather than hope ;-) Love your spirit.

Welcome, TRigger12!

You've got the right spirit . . . try to avoid non-refundable plane tickets (if applicable), but otherwise, conduct yourself as if you're going, meet local Burners (who would sooner sell to you than a complete stranger) and tell EVERYONE you're looking.
