Faces To Go With Names, 2014 Edition

[^Rhino!]

Ah... Tom Servo, the Iowegian. Are you also trying to tell us that you sell Fischer Price toys, the new "Sit ' n Spin'?

BTW, buddy, will you make INTERFUSE this year, or do I have to go to the Iowa burn?

[MyDearFriend]

if I recall correctly My Dear Friend did the but prints at 2012 M&G.

Hahahahaaha, YES!! That was the year and the day of the Blue Moon Over Black Rock City, so... I saw a lot of nice butts that night.

[sadie]

Here I am... Playing instead of working...

[Savannah]

What beautiful eyes you have!

[sadie]

Thanks Savannah... You are kind...

[Savannah]

I just speak the truth.

[Dr Helix]

Okay, here I be:

[theCryptofishist]

Thanks Savannah... You are kind...

Savannah is a class act, she's not lying.

[sadie]

Thanks Fishy. I feel that the majority of the frequent flyers on this board are genuine and trustworthy. I have always been a really private person, and have been hesitant to join in conversations, or interact with "strangers" online. But after reading and following along on these threads, and receiving the friendly encouragement and advice, I decided it was time to jump on in. So putting my face out there was sort of a big step, but a liberating one... No regrets!

I'm Gatt from the Green Hour. See you on the playa!

[^Rhino!]

BIG playa-size ( that BEATS McD's 'supersize' by at least a factor of a hundred) welcome to Sadie, and gatt, and Dr. Helix. Good photos, too,btw....full of the hope and charm that a trip to the playa will only fill with more hope and charm. You folks are going to be irresistible when you get back to the default.

And Savannah knows what she's talking about, Sadie. You have very nice blue eyes.

As the Amish guy would say, "She speaketh the truth."

And as the Amish gangster would say, "I shit thee not."

[sadie]

Thanks Rhino.! You are on my list of people to look for on the playa. Maybe we will run into each other at the M&G..

I am honored. With luck, perhaps we shall meet. AND greet. And that's great.

This is adorable Rhino - Zaphod & the good Doctor have been Burning (and on ePlaya) at least as long as you!
And Sadie, just remember you're going on vacation, and leave the expectations there. Some people love it, some hate it, and you never know where you're going to fall on that spectrum. Just be open to new experiences and you should have a great time!

(yes, I am one of the elusive idealistic cynical realists)

[^Rhino!]

"Adorable?"

**Rhino blushes beet red***

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

The community loves you too, Eric.

The community loves you too, Eric.

Aw shucks...

[sadie]

Thanks Eric. I am going in with eyes wide open. The only thing I expect is adventure. Well, and some dust. Oh, and heat, and cold, and wind.... (You are also on my list of people I hope to meet)! I have no doubt that this thing isn't for everyone, but I have a good (and honestly a little anxious) feeling about the experience that awaits... I won't know till I try. I think a tiny bit of trepidation will keep me on my toes and make me damn sure my ducks are all lined up.

[BoyScoutGirl]

sadie, if you find yourself wandering by Center Camp in the mid-afternoon, do swing by Lamplighters. I'll pour you a drink and if you want, we'll put you in a funny robe and put you to work

That's the spirit!

The dust is unavoidable. Drink lots of water before, during, and after the event to stay hydrated. Clothing choices can handle the heat and cold. The wind in your hair will be a turn-on. Have no expectations, and you'll be rewarded beyond your wildest imagination.

On the way there, too...stop and smell the roses. I did for a couple of days the previous two years, both before and after the event. I went up to Denio Junction and Virgin Valley and actually found some precious opals. I'm rapidly becoming acquainted with the history and lore and tall tales of the area, and it's all new, exciting, and ultra-enjoyable not knowing what new and different adventures await around the next bend in the road.

Bon voyage!

[sadie]

Thanks BoyScoutGirl.! I will keep that in mind. And now I know who to look for!! Lamplighting had caught my attention, and the easy sign up per day was intriguing... Hope to see you there!

I would love to explore that part of the country. I am looking at a loooong drive from a to b, and don't know how much time to spare I will have. In a perfect world, I can make the 1500 mile trip in two days, but I am traveling alone and the van didn't come with auto pilot...so three days may be more realistic. I'll have a plan, but I know enough to stay flexible when the unexpected arises. Getting there in one piece is the goal, and whatever happens next is yet to be seen.

Indeed three days is more realistic. I travel 1791 miles by vehicle one way to get to BRC. I've only made it out of Nebraska ONCE on the first day heading towards BRC. When your eyes start to bug out and your body is crying out for sleep... that's when I give in.

[Meat Hunter]

I am driving solo from central Mississippi (2,000+ miles) and I am planning on a conservative four day drive most days.

My last day may be a bit longish via overnighting in Las Vegas or a bit shorter via overnighting in Tonapah.

Quiet, shy introvert coming from Ottawa, Canada. Over the years I lost the fun loving person I was in my youth. Looking to crawl out of my shell and redefine myself . . . Go ahead... corrupt me

Go ahead... corrupt me

Darlin, you're just one meet-n-greet away from a cure!

Love the Asian-flavored coats. I'm jealous & I want one. *pout*

[Eric]

I rarely post in this thread since I use my face as my avatar, but I've just updated my avatar to go along with my current face. Yea.
