Can someone please tell the playa to stop calling??

Post by trystanthegypsy » Sat Aug 13, 2011 11:55 am

I really can't go this year, I have buckets of debt, a new job, and I'm looking for a place to live...

yet I have been offered THREE tickets after sell-out, at very reasonable prices, and my job has been delayed!! (though I don't think until after the burn... I think until just before... which is even more of a kick in the pants.) And I haven't found a house. So I have september's rent sitting in my pocket.

AGGGGGHHHH Can someone please tell the playa to stop calling me home??? how do you guys deal with it?? I guess other than going every year!!! haha.

(1) Collect dust in big, sealable bucket on playa

(2) Bring bucket home

(3) Stick head in bucket

(4) Breathe deeply

(5) Repeat as necessary.

That always gets me through the rough times when I can't go!

Make your own mini-regional for Burn night.

Ugly Dougly is gathering people in SF to go to the beach & having a bonfire; is there a place along the river or a nearby lake where you could do the same? Gather friends, post it on fb, then on Burn Night you have your own little party & it won't be so rough. Even if you can't do the fire, maybe lots of candles & blinkies and just a celebration.
