Do I hear a Grasshopper chirping? Who left the barn door open, the whippersnappers are flocking.

Hello. I am 52 years old and am attending this year for the first time with my husband and friends. We are mostly all between the ages of 45-60. They tell me that this is the average age range excluding those stinkers who are in their 30's! Can't Wait. I feel like a kid waiting for this trip! Magenta(my playa name). Eventually if not sooner someone will come up with an appropriate name for you while you live on the playa!
Looking Forward

For some reason I'm flashing on the memory of the "Honeymooners", Ralph and Alice, and their neighbors. What was the names of the guy in the hat and t-shirt and his misses? I'll remember later...Nortin and ?

I'm old enough to be an older brother or uncle. Whippersnappers.

I was 48 my first burn. 52 for my fifth in 2009. I was an un-fun tight-ass before B Man--even in my 20s. I love seeing all ages out there. For her 50th birthday, I'm bringing my sister to her first burn this year. Wasn't it Tom Robbins who said, You're never too old to have a happy childhood?

That's right, I'm 35 and I look 45. Hard life jet-skiing in the south of France and all, I prefer 25 year-olds of course....
