Yeah. Don't know what to write. so, here goes.

I'm Matthew. Santa Barbara Cali calling. First year comin up, pretty stoked for it though. After trying four years in a row to get it going im finally in.

Anyone from SB or surrounding counties that's going im currently solo, looking to make some connextions, maybe a group, maybe a theme. I'm open for pretty much anything.

I would like to say im excited to be introduced to this community you all have going. Ive been watching with my nose pressed against the glass for a long time and im ready to jump in head first.

[insert wide grinning smiley here]
talk to/see you/ hear from you soon.

Welcome Home Matt! I'm in Santa Barbara too. I'm an old fart but most of my camp are college - agers. Let me know if we can give you any help. We can't accept any more campmates this year but you are welcome to come hang out, imbibe and play.

thank you!

it's great to see really positive energy and vibrations from pretty much everyone here. makes my adrenaline levels peak a lil higher each time i think of it!

i'll admit, i'm looking to either join a theme camp or find a good crew to mob it out there with. dont' know that i want to commit to a camp or anything just yet though, so i just want to make some connections beforehand so that i know at least ONE friendly face headed in.

and any musicians artists actors that want to collaborate, im going to be bringing some desert friendly instruments with me to rcok out with. i thought a roving band of misfits with guitars and drums and ukeleles strapped to their backs could be fun.... am i just naive in that?

DO IT!

There is just one thing really wrong with Black Rock City. There is a severe shortage of strolling minstrels!

This was the same story for my first Burn. It was worth every second of the four year wait.

Welcome and yes... bring instruments. You are not being naive.

Enjoy the planning!

--after you go, the only regret you may have is that you didn't get to ride the rides sooner the other years

Rock on n' see ya in the dust!

Yep - I hope you come and find us. Our camp has several professional actors, and a few musicians who are always up for acoustic jams. 5:45 and "F" street, look for the palm trees. We also have a small group of UCSBers.

I have a couple friends who are hopefully coming up from Ventura, when I receive confirmation of them going maybe if you're interested I can put you in touch.

By the way, you ever hit up Freebirds? I miss their nachos sooooo much.

haha!

don't hit up IV too much, or try not to. i'm partial to super cucas on the westside myself. i lived over there and the super burrito is my personal fav. the tortas are great too.

someone told me about the quesarito?... or the burritodilla? a quesadilla and a burrito.... thats freebirds for ya.

if you'd pass along my info or their name if they're on the eplaya that would be great actually!

Old time I.V. res... many many moons ago. I miss Serranito's flautas and Grandma Gertie's sandwiches, oh and Borsodi's.
