Aloha!!!

Post by yoyomokomo » Mon Feb 14, 2011 11:07 pm

Aloha!

I'm going to Burning Man this year!

For my first time...

Flying in from Maui to spread the Aloha!

You'd better be prepared.

Because you know I'll be!

Soooo Excited.

6ish Months 2 go.

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I'm getting way too excited.

What's the best way to deal with BM anticipation?

Any Tips?

Has anyone gone kite boarding at Burning man yet?

Just wondering...

Breathe into a paper bag.
Kidding.
-Look into the preparation information at the Burning Man webpage.
-Design a theme camp (interactive and theme-oriented).
-Keep yourself busy.

You could . . .

* Surf the Q&A forum until you know so much no one will believe you're a virgin.

* Plot which stores you're going to shop in when you fly in, in whatever town. Get their business hours. Call their phone numbers to make sure the info is current. (Maybe check the info again in early August). Print a map or buy one if need be.

* Make a packing list with "to do" and "to buy" sections.

* Work on a costume . . . maybe something lightweight, 'cause you're flying in.

* Measure your suitcases. :)

* Read this, if you haven't. It's really sweet.

I started with the paper bag.

And it worked for about 10 minutes.

Ive been looking into preparation for a while.

I feel its a bit soon to make to do list's and to buy lists.

Already have my costume planned.

Now i'm designing a theme camp.

Theres about 80 people in my group and I am an architecture student.

Planning on building something big.

Does anyone know if there are limitations for my shade structure?

It wont be taller than the man.

But it might be quite large...

And loud.

And Bright at night!

Oh yeah...

Does anyone know where I can pick up some scaffolding in Reno?

Howdy and aloha.

There are rules about kite boarding on the main site, under mutant vehicles. Some of the larger types are not allowed, and of course, you're have to go out to the open playa, as the city is too crowded.

Never too early. We start planning the next year the moment we get through the gates.

Don't wear a flower behind your ear all the time, people might confuse you as Risky.
We have an obligation to make space for everyone, we have no obligation to make that space pleasant.
