If you want quotes and stuff to work go to your profile and click "yes" to
"Always allow BBCode:"

Fuck your day.

Fuck your day.

Haha! And HEY, your BBCode works!

There are actually people on this board who have been more than twice as many times as I have, or who are survival ninjas (that's a technical term) or mechanical gods & goddesses. I'm just enthusiastic.

It's hard to know what advice you need without knowing how well-read you are on the subject, where you're coming from, how you're getting there. I trust you have been to the following, but if not:

http://www.burningman.com/first_timers/
http://www.burningman.com/preparation/event_survival/

The Event Survival Guide is essential. If you buy a ticket online I believe the guide is mailed to you by early summer, but that's last year's (and a lot of it will remain the same with timely updates.) It can be downloaded as a pdf or plain text, & should be studied intently. If all that stuff is old hat to you by now, the Q&A Tips and Tricks forum is your friend. (You'll note a difference in reception between virgins who do no research at all before asking really easy questions, & the ones who have tried. Admittedly, the search function--top center--is not easy to use here, but you can sort by forum & play with the keywords you use.)

Good choice. Nothing's sexier than having two eyes on the same side of your head.
