Hello there. Talk to me, its my first year man!

Post by bobotinks » Thu Jan 14, 2010 7:28 pm

[size=18][/size][color=orange][/color]Hello there darlings! My names b0 and I`m from London, UK. This will be my first time coming to Burning Man and of course I`m really really excited! I also happen to be pretty nervous aswell.. I`ve read all the F.A.Q stuff and seen a few videos on youtube, but I don`t feel I`m getting the real sense of what it is really like. I suspect BM is a bit like "The Matrix", It can`t be explained to you, you have to see it for yourself. Am I right?
I shared a few E-Mails with a Man/Woman called Edge and he/she really helped me with a few bit and bobs. But I`d like to hear back from a few of you so I can maybe hear some stories, maybe some "Dos and Don`ts" or maybe you`d just like to say hello.. You know, maybe make some friends.

I`ll start off. As you already know my name is b0, or bobotinks. Its not my real name of course, my Dad used to call me bobotinks when I was a little`n and it just sort of stuck. Sadly he passsed away last year so Its quite centermental!
You also know I`m from London. So what else is there to tell I hear you ask! Well I`ll tell you my sugar coated little Cherrubs!
I`m a very active person, it has nothing what so ever to so with my ADHD, that just a label someone has given me to put me in a certain box.
I really like being silly, theres nothing like turning a bad situation into a silly one. I think it helps to make the world go round and around and around... Getting dizzy..!I LOVE the cereal "Lucky Charms" but unfortunately you can`t get them in England anymore.
I love meeting new people. I know it sounds like a cliche but I really do. I hate going into a Pub (Bar) and knowing everyone in there, its just not what life about!
I also love being naked, especially with Talcum Powder. I adore the stuff! The way it makes you feel really smooth, mmm Lovely!

Well I`ve been talking for ages now and I wanna watch "Boogie Nights"

So you all be good, and I`m sure our paths will cross sooner or later.

Lots of Lovely London Love,

b0 xx

great.....just what we need....more pasty faced Brits with bad teeth who think they're johnny fucking depp in willy wonkaville.

buck up Limey, and no sissy stuff....Burning Man is NOT like some cheap french whore you can just saunter up to and get a blow job from, oh no, you gotta EARN it.

and do NOT, i repeat DO NOT say a word about how much better your music scene is from ours because we will beat you with 120 bpm into yorkshire pudding.

ok...now be a good brit and go find some place to get paddled.

Is it wrong that I laugh?

Or good that I appreciate such the eclectic group that runs amok through BM.. which is reason # 573,385,296 that I'm going this year?

Hi Simon, nice to meet you. ..

Bobo... meet Simon! :P

I'm going to stage a coup that will establish Simon as head of Greeters. It should help keep the event small.

...very small.

Hey there Eve! Go ahead and make your own thread so that Simon can ridicule you directly. ;)
