Sacramento Projects?

[Hey Daisy]

Hi everyone,

2017 will be my second year on the playa and I'd really like to get involved in a local project.

Are there any projects going on in the Sacramento, CA area that need another set of hands? My Burning Man resolution this year is to work on that whole participation thing.

Please let me know if you are involved in any groups that would like a little help!

Though I won't be there this month (the Barbie Death Village semi-annual state of the Village meeting is that night in Loomis) the Sacramento Meet-Up is this Thursday, April 6 at Bennie's Bar and Grille, 20th and Q street beginning around 7 p.m. There will be probably 50 burners there and they may well be looking for help.

I have heard of the Bennie's meet-up but I'm a bit *ahem* shy. So I haven't mustered up the courage to show up to that yet lol

Yup, it's always like that. After a few visits you'll soon be a regular though.

You're probably right, I'm just a wimp lol. Even posting this made my blood pressure jump a bit.

Go re-read your first post... it's your resolution, isn't it? Getting involved largely means showing up. If it helps, remember that when you go to something like that, even though that very first time you don't know anyone... you're far from alone. You're in pretty much the exact spot all of the people at the meetup were in at some point. That and by virtue of being burners you've also got that crazy thing in the desert in common. Breaking the ice is easier than you think

[Hey Daisy]

That's very true!

I just need to suck it up and give it a try.

We are bringing a mural and a teeny tiny theme camp this year.
and could definitely use a handy hand.

[Hey Daisy]

I'll PM you!

Hay Daisy,

If'n you are still into it, I could still use a hand on this massive painting project.

The Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro pre-playa-party is at my home on Saturday, August 19. It'll go from noon to about 6 p.m. Swimming, BBQ, beer, all funded by the best damn theme camp on the playa. We'll have swag for everyone. This is open to all burners in the general Sacramento-Placer-Nevada-El Dorado County region, not just Barbiebarians. If you'd like to meet some of your fellow burners from many different camps, this is your chance. Would love to see you there. PM me and I'll give you the address. (We also would like you to RSVP in any event so we know how many kegs to buy.)

I was born in North Highlands, Sactown( 95660 ), ...moved to Amador County for 28 years, then to Roseburg, Oregon! I wish I could have been more involved with Sacramento 'Burners', ...but I will try to connect with other like-minded people here in Roseburg, Oregon!

I miss Sactown( especially the 'Underground' scene in the 90's / 'Ooga Booga' Watt Ave, for example )...

Hi, I'm in Sacramento area as well and I too have anxiety issues. This will also be my second burn and I too am looking to get involved for 2018. I plan on volunteering at center camp and if like to meet with other local burners to possibly assist in any projects that my time allows. If you are feeling shy and want a buddy to go with you to the local meetings please feel free to send me a message. Take care
