Sort of a virgin :-S

Post by melvi » Thu Apr 02, 2009 5:34 am

Hi,

My names Chris from Scotland. Im hoping to come over to BM this year, I was there in 2006 and had the time of my life. Although i dont think i took full advantage of the experience, thats why im kind of a virgin, but hopefully coming over on my own this year i can reclaim the experience.

Im hoping to go to some kind of 'international camp', does anyone know if this is still running? (Or anything similar?).

Thanks everyone,

Chris!

welcome!

The international hostel is no longer running, I think, but there are several other camps which are similar. Search the eplaya for camps.

2006? Beautiful year.

I have nothin to compare 2006 to but it was without a doubt one of te most amazing experiences. I never thought something like BM existed. Even though i know no one going this year, im still determined to fly over from Scotland just to go.

How do i search for camps on ePlaya?

Welcome to the madness melvi. I'm a true virgin - this year will be my first burn. I'm one of those Americans with Scottish ancestors. I'll be wearing my kilt this coming Monday for Tartan Day.

Chris.
Just look for threads to start popping up. Also look at the main BM site under theme camps. Many have their own websites so you can look there. Also look in tribe.

search in eplaya for stag camp also

What about the ticket tiers? If i have a ticket for a certain tier and a camp says they will put me up but is in a certain tier, does that effect anything at all? Last time i went i had it all bought and arranged for me, so im not really sure.

Thanks everybody ! Chris.

The ticket tiers have nothing to do with anything on the playa. That's just early pricing to get people to but them now, not later.
