Broken down old lady burner

Howdy!

Looking to go to the Playa in a few years. Life has been getting in the way this year, and next year I'll be out of the US, so it looks like 2018. My friend and I will be attending our first burn, and we are both glad we've finally made a commitment!

Welcome to eplaya

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

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

Sporkster, (note my camps name), Welcome to ePlaya. We absolutely LOVE old ladies. Well, you and your friend have 2 years to prepare. Ya all will probably be the best prepared out of 68,000. Hang out here. Read a lot. Get to know us. I like you already. Dusty hugs in 2018

Radical preparation is preparing for 2018!

The pinned preparation post to start.

Regionals. Meet locals in person.

Look up the age of the founders. They are old.

Got some wisdom to contribute? Participating to energize yourself?

Thanks, all!

Broken Down Old Lady Central is a joke amongst several of my friends, so it just seemed to be a good start! I'm hoping to recruit a few others to come with us and set up a camp with the rest of us wizened crones!

Remember: It's not the years, it's the mileage...and these miles were not highway miles!
