Hi from Ireland!

Post by adamkeni » Wed Jun 15, 2016 3:43 pm

Hi all!

First time Burner... Getting very excited now! :)

Thought I'd make sure to sign up here as I've heard nothing but great things in terms of researching preparation etc.

I'm traveling solo from Dublin, Ireland. Flying into Chicago for a long layover, then onto Reno for a couple of nights where I'll be meeting up with my camp (Camp Magic School Bus), should be about 50 of us.

Have most of my prep done in terms of stuff to buy and get ready already... :D Just need to figure out my 'gift' to the playa! I'm a DJ/producer so may look into filling a few slots for camps looking for someone for the graveyard shifts :D

Looking forward to the journey and the randomness :coffee:

Welcome.
Savannah: I don't know what it is, but no thread here escapes alive. You'll get 1 or 2 real answers at minimum, occasionally 10 or 12, and then we flog it until it's unrecognizable and you can't get your deposit back.

Double welcome! I was in Ireland this time last year for Body and Soul. Your biggest shock will be our "Leave No Trace" ethic. Let me know if you need any help.

Ha, brilliant. This is my first year not doing Body & Soul (because of costs for burning man), so jealous of everyone heading down to it today...

Yeah, the leave no trace thing will be interesting to say the least, but I've read up on it and I think the key is prep... Like I'm gonna buy a load of ziplock bags and containers to bring my snacks/food so I don't bring any rubbish with me.

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!
Elderberry

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

That is a lot but so much more. You will be shocked by a lot. Please send me PM's and I will be glad to help. This is our 18th year on playa so we are a lot jaded, but happy to help with what will be a big transition for you. We made a lot of new friends at B&S last year and are really happy to return the favor.
