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

Fellow birgin here as well.

1) Read,...a lot. There is a ton of information at the burning man site. Here is a good place to start: http://burningman.org/event/preparation ... ers-guide/

2) Once you have read all you can read. Ask questions. Just be prepared as most of your questions will have already been asked. At times the questions will seem rather silly and you will be reminded of that by any number of the experts here. :) Take it in and own it. Because no matter what, they were never as silly as you (poke, poke...) :D.

Seriously though, there are a lot of good people here willing to help you out. Just make the effort to learn what you can before you dive in with a million questions and that will go a long way in showing you really are self-reliant.

And welcome!

Welcome, BunnyBoy! :D

Making your packing list will help you focus on what to read up on.

. . . For your sake, I hope the Billion Bunny March will happen again this year . . .



Last year they met on Thursday evening of the event and took over the BMIR radio station.
