Wanted to go last year, didn't work out so here I am ready to embark on this craziness that's about to come in less that 2 months.

Awesome. See you there!

Don't forget to memorize everything on the website and have a good time.

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

Have questions? Read this first: http://www.burningman.com/first_timers/
Everybody on eplaya is always excited to help first timers; but in sympathy for some of us old timers, please get your required reading out of the way before posting. As hard as it is to rein in the the excitement and enthusiasm, and as unbelievable as it might seem, most of your questions have already been asked and answered, if you just take a moment to read.

Now, let the adventure begin!

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

There is a small collective of us that tend to read every introductory post, SO YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!!!! :wink:

I'm with you on the transportation side of things. I can't really even start to plan costumes and gifts tell I know that I will be able to safely get me and my camp to and from the Playa with out major inconveniences.
My prorities tend to be
1) Transportation, Water, Food.
2) Water, Food, Transportation
3) Food, Transportation, Water
these three kinda have to be figured out at the same time, godda be able to carry your water and food, so you need to know how much to bring.
4) Booze
5) Costumes/fun clothes
6) Gifts
7) Volunteer shifts
