No money. No work.
Crippled hands. Can't work.

Not going again this year. Too broke, and working for UW Housing (or, at least, I hope I am still employed-- I've been away from work due to depression, as it turns out, for about 3 weeks)-- and Housing doesn't allow time off during the end of August, due to students moving in. I need a career change, which might help with the depression, too.

D.A. isn't going to file charges...but unless I hit the lottery...Not going. At least I'm getting out of this damned town. Anyways, all this down time has given me the opportunity to come up with new projects. :D

Nope.


Reasons in order

My money and time is pretty much spoken for this year and maybe even next year.

Even if I did want to go tickets are already sold out(I'm not blaming anyone, just stating a fact).

I want to go to some regional stuff on the east coast first as my tastes may have changed since I went to my first burn.
If Neil deGrasse Tyson pulled me off the street to tell me about astronomy that would be awesome. If I was in Amsterdam when this happened and could convince him to tell me about it at a coffeeshop it would be ideal. Just sayin'.

I will be buying a house this year and I can't be throwing my money around.

Besides, I feel that going to the beach for whatever burn happens there, or making one happen by myself - would be more of an authentic Burning Man experience than buying a BM ticket.

Going. I arrive on the Playa Sunday the 14th. After 23 nights I'll definitely be one with the Playa :lol:

I'm not going this year, but am planning for 2012. My first burn was last year and it was great! I live in Georgia and taking enough time off of work and college to drive across country is hard to do. But, I will be living vicariously through those of you going this year. :)
