Greetings from the orange curtain! My name is Sahil

2008 was my first year at burning man (and from what I understand, the worst year to have gone). None the less, I had an amazing experience and cannot wait to return in 2009. I will be in the same theme camp with a group of friends. Once again, this is Sahil from Camp Pleasure Island (E-3 in 2008). I can't wait to be home in 2009!

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

By all accounts, 2009 will be worse than 2008.

Winston Churchill wrote:From Main Street USA in the Disneyland to San Clemente by the Pacific an orange curtain has descended across the State. Behind that line lie all the ... ancient cities of Spanish and Mexican California. Ontario, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Huntington Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Lake Forest famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the John Birch sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to John Birch Society influence but to a very high and, in some cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow, Idaho.

The famous "orange curtain" speech.

in reality my friend, any year that you DONT go will be your worst...

I recall with great sadness the year 2003, as i had to hold my own personal regional on my roof with popcicle stick man and a can of lighter fluid.

Here here!

Hear hear?

Okay, I'm off to go do some research. Now that I think about it, "Here here" doesn't make very much sense.

Almost didn't go last year, but my friend and I changed our mind the Friday before the Burn and somehow managed to procure a ride/tickets/supplies through a series of bizarre coincidences involving Las Vegas hookers, motor oil, and a boy scout troupe.

Man, those kids earned their badges.
