Frenchies on the playa

Post by Ragnar63 » Wed Feb 25, 2015 2:53 pm

Hello, my wife and i went to Burning Man last year for the first time. We discovered it in a documentary on french TV and we knew immediatly that we had to participate to it! It was an amazing experience and we met fantastic people during the week. It is wonderful to speak with people from US, New Zealand, Ireland in the same place! And most of all, have a ride with a Art Car by night... Unforgetable.

For this year we have tickets but no vehicle pass, we hope to get one soon, it's more complicated to plan travel to Burning Man where you leave in another continent.

We hope to see you on the Playa!

Welcome to ePlaya! But how did a Frenchman wind up with such a Viking name?

Oh, I learned that in school, and I considered mentioning it, but I was afraid of offending Ragnar. :lol:

So anyway, Ragnar, if your very-great-grand-father was a Viking, there are now three Vikings on this thread.

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

Well, to be honest, i was desperatly looking for a user name, and at this moment i was watching the new season of the TV Show "Vikings", so i choose Ragnar... but 63 is a part of my french ZipCode :D We have no fjord in my region, only volcanoes !

I want to say hello to Temple Flying spaghetti Monster (Tinker & Dee), Camp D.O.A (great wine) and i forgot the name but a great place with irish people and especially Evan from Cork !
