Any Burners from Florida?
Hi to all fantastic burners! My name is Pamela and I have always thought of attending the burning man festival and never made it (yet). Would like to meet other burners to connect and hopefully make it to next year's burn - I live in S. Florida
Am interested in all things connected to nature, shamanism, crystal energy, magic, music, art, dance - and anything else that translates to the "out of the box mentality". Have watched this year's live stream burn and some youtube videos on various prior burns and feel a longing to get away from the "corporate life" - into the magical realm of "burning man"
Thank you!

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

Re: Any Burners from Florida?
Welcome! Read as much as you can on here and the official burning man site. It helped me a lot. I'm from Georgia so we have about the same distance to travel. I drove across country and it was a great experience. I'm returning next year!

Re: Any Burners from Florida?
I'm from NW Florida in Pensacola and am looking forward to hopefully going to my FIRST burn next year. I'm also looking for information on theme camps and possibly sharing my ride. I'm doing the cross country bit too.
Re: Any Burners from Florida?
Howdy!
I'm a BM virgin from Orlando fl, I'm looking to experience my first burn next year (hopefully) but maybe ill be better prepared for 2016. I'll possibly be doing the cross country journey as well. I plan on attending the Orlando Regional burn sometime in November. (The AfterBurn) Maybe i'll see you there!?!?!

Awww... I put the ear in the testicle bucket.
Re: Any Burners from Florida?
On the trip across country I gave myself 2 days in each direction. A good tip is to figure how far you will travel and reserve a hotel or camp ground in advance. (i did both) I did tent camping and did just fine. Decide how you will camp (tent, other structure, rv) and read as much as you can on that.shamanlady+54 wrote:Thanks Elderberry and Schroom for your welcome!

Re: Any Burners from Florida?
Howdy shamanlady. I'm from central Florida. If you want to connect with more Florida burners a good place to start is our regional Facebook page. Search for The Florida Burns ** )'( ** PreHeat & Afterburn on Facebook. Another good place for information is www.burntorangesevents.com... that is where everything for the Florida regional burns is organized... well most of it... well some of it... that's where they sell the invites anyways.

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.
