Bakersfield Burner Looking For A Ride!

Post by moesgurlie » Thu Aug 04, 2011 2:10 pm

hi my name is sharon. i am a fellow BRC resident years 2007, 2008, 2009.
here's the deal. as much as i wanted to go to BRC last year, i felt i needed to spend my vacation time with my mother (she was 82 then). i am so glad i did because she passed away 2 weeks ago
. This past 6 months has been hell. I wasnt going to go again this year..but i think about it daily!!!! i really need to go, anyone thats been knows what i mean. it's what my soul and heart and sanity needs. i need to go home. still working out ticket details, but that's a post for the tickets board ;)
living in bakersfield sucks as far as BM goes. like i think i am the only burner from here. today at work i was thinking hey i'm going to hang a poster off the overpass telling all the burners from south to have a great burn. then i thought hey i live 1 block off the freeway if there was a camp willing to pick me up and be part of their camp i would be the happiest person and a great addition to your camp.

please read my posts i have posted since first attending and it will give you an idea of the type of person i am.

my first burn i went with a sales rep that comes in my work and 6 of his buddies from LA, it was the best. That added to the whoke thing...meeting a new family of friends. Unfortunatly they are in the movie industry and not attending this year.
i get so pumped up just thinking there may be a chance i can go. i am a burner true and true. please think about it and if anyone out there has the room, and i insist on paying my portion as far as gas goes, and paying for food or bringing food. im pretty good at knowing good stuff to bring.

im only 5 min off the freeway. i really hope someone reads this post. thanks you guys!!!

oh oh oh i forgot i will be bringing a small baggie of my mom. ash form!! she would of been a great burner, and would expect nothing less of me.

Hi Sharon!

Ticket first. Here's a thread about how to find tickets.
http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic. ... 90&t=42348

Staying off eBay will save your sanity. It's not representative of most Burners anyway. Better: refresh the ePlaya ticket page, refresh Craigslist, tell all your friends you're looking, never pay with wire transfers or Greendot for these . . . read up in the 2011 Tickets forum how not to be scammed.

Only if you have a ticket should you even consider a rideshare, because no wise rideshare will take an unticketed person. You could cause the whole car to have to turn back around and drop you in Reno. Needless to say, this may make them fairly cranky.

But if you can find a ticket, rideshares are here:

Good luck . . .

that goes without saying-i would never attemp to go without a ticket, that was never the slighest thought. it works both ways as far as putting my feelers out there. you said get your ticket first and then try to find ride. well my thought was if some one answered me and was nice enough for me to join their camp i would surely let them know ahead of time if i indeed did find a ticket ..so it's a go i would also contact them that i didnt find a ticket..but thank you anyway. but...if i did it your way find a ticket first ..then try to find a ride i may end up at home ,without a ride, and a useless ticket. but thanks for the input and for taking the time to read the post. hope to see you and everyone there

Frankly, if I found out I held space in my vehicle for a person that didn't have a ticket, I'd be pissed off. Especially if I was counting on the extra gas money. It only shows how selfish you are, reserving ride space without a ticket, fuck the person that offered me a ride if I don't get the ticket. Which is what you'd be doing by having the person hold space, when he could have found a person that really was going.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Hi Sharon,

We are picking up an RV in Bakersfield on Monday morning (possibly Sunday) and can provide a lift. Sorry about the ticket situation, unfortunately I have a lot of friends without, but wish you luck! Let us know if you get a tik and need a ride still.
