Chicago Burners

Post by ARISE1 » Mon Nov 10, 2014 2:54 pm

This thread is intended for any Burners from Chicago to meet, share ideas, and collaborate:

I am a first time burner interested in joining a camp/brainstorm camp ideas.

Please post any resources, questions, comments, concerns... Let's help each other plan our BM 2015 experience together!

Hola and hello,,,

camps will start looking for new mates after the first of the year but you might want to look on last years theme camps threads to get an idea of what the different camps have to offer and what camp might fit you best.

Youre gonna love it
Oh my god, it's HUGE!

If you want to propose and plan a meet-up, you can use the regionals sub-forum of this board.

Welcome to the site! I'm giving this a nudge over to the Regionals & Events board, since that's a better fit. You may also want to check out the regionals page (linked at the top of this forum) to reach out and connect with the regional group in your area. Good luck!

Is it just me, or would a good name for a Chicago Burners camp be called "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow"?

It's not only you. I was going to post something like that myself a couple of days ago, but--of course--no one will believe me now.

HI there! I am also from Chicago and looking to make 2015 my first burn (ticket gods willing). My thought at the moment is that I will not try join up with a theme camp and will camp solo, but of course everything is open to change. I've never been to the playa but I am an experienced backcountry camper so I do have some skills and knowledge which I hope will come in handy getting me there and back in one piece. Anyway, welcome to the board and thanks for starting this thread. A theme camp based around Ms O'Learys Cow is a great idea :D

A plywood cow with a mechanical kicking leg would be a nice touch...
