Hi! First time burner 2015

Post by epiazza » Thu Jul 23, 2015 12:47 pm

Hi!

My name is Lizzie, and I just got tickets to Burning Man for 2015. This is my first time going and I'm really really excited!! :lol:

I've read the Survival and First timer's guide and am scrambling around trying to prepare everything for a great week.

About me: Turning 25 right before the trip, living in NYC, into computers, love being outside, am kind of a fitness freak, and the beach has always been a huge part of my life. I geek out about math and technology and science on occasion. I definitely drink too much coffee, and I read almost anything that comes my way.

I'm going to be crawling all over these boards for the next month and am up to meet anyone for a drink/coffee around NYC - can't wait to see everyone and what Burning Man is all about! :D :D

Welcome! Yes, read, read, read. Come by the Wanderers camp at 3:15 and F this year for Toxic Tonic and hot dogs every day from 4:00-6:00. We offer them for all weary playa wanderers.

Welcome...you're first, my 11th...and it's like my first, except the anxiety of wondering if I'm adequately prepared has long passed. Shelter from the sun, water, food, and pacing are your priorities. You got questions...search first, ask questions later. Usually Googling eplaya and your subject item will yield better results.

Have a blast!
Don't bore your friends with all your troubles. Tell your enemies instead, for they will delight in hearing about them.

Welcome. I envy you, as a virgin. My first burn was so amazing. They all are, but nothing compares to that first one (for me).

Research and read. Shade, Water, Warm clothes, Cool clothes. A hat. Lip balm. All the things!!! :) You will have a blast!

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.

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
