2010 is the year of new experiences and BM is going to be an amazing part of it!
I feel a little intimidated as I am currently going alone, but know i will meet a lot of cool ppl before and after the even!
I live in the Bay Area and am hoping to meet some locals who are going as well. :D

welcome to the eplaya, hippiekitten. if black rock city is anything, it is certainly a great place for new experiences.

I'm sure it's on the main site with a little poking around. Go to the upper left corner of your screen and press where it says "Burning Man." You don't want to get a reputation of being one of those too lazy to do his own homework spectators, do you?

Takes out your fun, maybe.

Some of us have nothing better to do with our time but complain about how "unburnly" lazy folks are.

Read your Jack Rabbit and you will know all.

NEWS FLASH: Burnal Equinox is not necessarily Precompression. I think Precomp is usually in the summer.

Welcome to ePlaya hippiekitten817 :D ! This year our camp is looking at doubling in size (from 4 last year to 6-8 2010). One year, though, I would like to trek out by myself just to have that experience. An idea/suggestion: camp in the middle of the block. That way, you have buddies/neighbors on all sides of you--e n j o y :wink:
