My first time & I'm so excited!

Post by jered9777 » Sun Apr 17, 2016 12:38 am

Hi.
I want to get my tickets so badly so I know I will be attending. I have always wanted to go but all let so many things get in the way or just like most, work to much.
But not this time!!! I'm coming. I have read, listened and watch many videos. I will bring my car and a tent and of course all supplies.
I want costumes, a bike, anything that glows and mostly meet new people that will keep me growing as a person. I want the experience!!!!
Thank you. Any advise is appreciated. Jered

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

Hi Jered!

Meet Burners near you to get tied into the event socially.
http://regionals.burningman.org

Here are some completely random tips:

1) Bring artificial tears, not redness remover.
2) Use snowboarder or military goggles or other serious goggles. If you can get a clear lense and a dark lense for day, even better.
3) Don't forget a small backpack and a large canteen (or camelbak) for your wanderings.
4) Suspend your expectations of the "best time ever" and anticipate merely an adventure.
5) It can be cold as hell at night; bring one very warm coat and something lighter, like a hoodie or two.
