Hello Burners!
After years of dealing with my social anxiety, I have finally gotten myself to a good place and I want to enjoy it. I am planning on coming to my first Burning Man in 2015. My wife will be on her 10th burn and she has been getting me prepared. I can't wait to participate and get involved! Here's to diving head first into the community!

New to Burning Man
Two cannibals are eating a clown, one turns to the other and asks: "This taste funny to 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: New to Burning Man
Hey! I had terrible social anxiety at one time in my life. It can still rear it's head from time to time. I've learned just to accept that. I hope to make my return to the playa in 2015 after a lengthy absence (temporary insanity or not enough insanity I'm not sure which). Anyway, welcome to the fray, I'm glad you're here. 
Don't believe everything you think.

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.

Re: New to Burning Man
Manictabor, Welcome. If my husband decided to come with me I would despair. Best to keep your options open. I want you to bring a small pup tent and air mattress. You can set it up in our little camp of 3. When your lovely has a meltdown because she can't adjust to you being there, move in with us. (This is a sincere offer. No joke.) On the other hand maybe she will love having you there. Anyway. You have months to prepare and we are here to help. (And of course to feed off of, and live vicariously through your excitement.) Welcome!!
Those aren't buttermilk biscuits I'm lying on Savannah
