Travel* Odyssey from Sweden

Post by melvinhonda » Mon Aug 15, 2011 4:30 pm

Hey peeps!

No virgin writing here. First time was in 2008, the American Dream theme. Basically it was a last minute trip as my friend convinced me when I was staying in San Jose for a couple of weeks. Basically BM changed my life even though I wasn't prepared for anything as my friend had arranged all logistics.

Now I'm back this year and this time I'm absorbing as much info as I can about the theme camps and stuff. But my trip is far from straight-forward to get to BM. I live in Stockholm, Sweden. My first destination is Madrid where I'm gonna hook up with a friend, which BTW is a BM virgin, warm up a couple of days and then fly to LA to pick up another friend. Pre-party over there for another couple of days, then drive to Sunnyvale to join more friends to finally drive to BRC.

Hope you all have a god damn blast!!

Cheers
Melvin Honda

We have three newbies from Sweden staying in Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro. If not before, be sure to come by during the Meet & Greet (Thursday evening, 6 p.m. on the corner of 3:30 and Engagement) and introduce yourself to them. They'd be thrilled I'm sure.

That would be awesome! I'll definitely be there :-)

Thanks Dr. Pyro!

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

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

I don't owe anyone anything, but if I'm not too cranky, I'll think about it. :mrgreen:

Hey peeps! I need some guidance. I wanted to bring with me some Absinth to the playa. I'm buying it in Madrid prior to my depart to LAX.

Is it completely illegal to carry Absinth in California/Nevada?

Thanks!

Trust me, absinthe is perfectly legal to bring into the United States, even the People's Republic of Kalifornia. I bought two bottles at the Rome airport and they were fine. Only one still exists, but that' another story for another day.
