Hey yall!!
Super psyched about burning this year, but a little trepidatious. I really wanna find the right camp (or any camp, really), but am having a bit of trouble in my hometown of New York. My other game plan is to find one in Colorado, as I plan on flying out there to see friends a few weeks prior to burning man. Anybody have any advice?
Thanks,
Jonah

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

Start there, and try and find a regional group in your area. Most of the regional groups also have a facebook presence. Show up for some of their events and get to know people.
Read the First Timers Guide and read heavily in the QandA section of this board. It is possible to camp solo, you don't have to be part of a theme camp!

Hey Johahman
welcome to eplaya!
Tell us more about your self!
We currently don't have any extra seats. Plans have changed 100 times for us.
Though, people aren't gonna jump out of the wood work and say "hey camp with us" unless you tell them a bit about your self.
