[engineer2012]

Hi katiebaby25
Mery Christmas.
Sound good, I'll be your first taster of your pannekoeken!!
I love it when someone abroad did have a taste from the Netherlands.
For me however, I really like to taste, feel and experience Burning Man. Hope to meet you there and so we can discuss Amsterdam, and maybe share a vew stories of past years.

I would love that! We'll make it happen

Yeah. Sounds good. Don't forget the stroop!!!!!

[engineer2012]

Hi all.
More than one year ago I said I would go and now I really can say:
I am going in 2012. Ticket conformation mail in the pocket!!!!! Already a vew days ago.

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!
Thats awesome that you were able to get a ticket this year!

And having to wait an extra year just makes your first year that much better!!!
Engineer 2012, welcome to eplaya!!!

Here in Colorado, I'm a drafter and Low Voltage Communications system designer. Similar but different to engineering.
As another person that knows a bit about structural engineering I can tell you that you will see some structures/art in BRC that will blow your mind. And make you leave BRC thinking "ya know, the rest of the world could learn a few things from this place"

There's a site for that too

Indeed thanks for the link, again. Amazing, really

[AntiM]

Dang it, I had to buy the book!

Oh man, thanks for that. I know now for sure that I am going to love and be amazed of the structures in BRC.

Well, once you've been amazed, come stop by my camp and I'll give you a cold beer and we can discuss the amazingness.

Dang it, I had to buy the book!

I'm pretty tempted too!
But alas, xmas has emptied my pockets!

[AntiM]

He has a picture of me posted, I'm assuming I'm in the book, so I feel obligated. A bit odd though, he probably did ask if he could take my picture, but I surely did not sign a release or anything. I'm holding my coffee cup still in my nightie. I could have been half-awake. I don't mind, but I'm burning with curiosity.

Cool beans, though!

Hey, enough thread hijack! Back to you....

Nope not quite enough, just yet.
Thats sweet you're on his web site! I hope you're in book, that awesome!

I think you're obligated to get a free copy not have to buy a copy.

Where on the page were you?
I must have over looked it, or not recognized you.

[Savannah]

I couldn't find it either, and it's admittedly awkward to ask someone for a picture of herself drinking coffee in her nightie.

It's there.

Of course!

Speaking of stroop... if you brought me some stroopwafels from Amsterdam I would love you forever!!! We can get them here but they just aren't the same!!

[Katiebaby25]

Dang it, I had to buy the book!

I bought it too! Just got it in the mail yesterday! So beautiful

[Savannah]

You're right!

God, I love looking at those pictures. In most instances, I think: Goddamn . . . I didn't see any of this. Was I really there?

Which is both great, and slightly frightening. There's never enough time to see everything. (Or to see it how someone else will see it . . . and then show you how you could have seen it if only you had their eyes, their patience, or their luck.)

[illy dilly]

Holly SHIT!
So is the Gnome Dome!!!!!!
http://thisisblackrockcity.blogspot.com ... results=50

Its near the bottome, Red dome with White spots.
It says "Fences Instantly Settle the Camp"

[Savannah]

Okay, so I did see the Gnome Dome. Just not from that angle. I came from the opposite direction, and then was very close to it, so the white on the dome much stood out more.

[theCryptofishist]

So, it's supposed to be a mushroom, right?

[engineer2012]

Of course!

Speaking of stroop... if you brought me some stroopwafels from Amsterdam I would love you forever!!! We can get them here but they just aren't the same!!

You got yourself a deal. I'll bring them with me to the meet and greet, thursday 6-9 pm @ BDC&WB.
I was thinking what to bring, now I know. Thanx

I really would like that. Thanks for the invitation.

[engineer2012]

Should be I think. From the tale of the gnoom (kaboutertjes), living in the mushroom, red with white dots. Famous story

[theCryptofishist]

Oh, those mushrooms are kinda famous all over central europe, as far as I can tell. And hedgehogs! Always with the hedgehogs...

[ygmir]

ok, I'll leave the hedgehog analogy joke alone........

yeah, peel the white dots off the mushrooms (arsenic, IIRC) and they're supposed to be wonderfully hallucinogenic.
Just ask Alice.....

[theCryptofishist]

...just as Alice what?

(No, I'm not a grammer nazi! I just have to twit ygmir. There's a difference you know!)

fixed..........

actually, it would be "spelling Nazi", in this case.

April 25 2010 I first heard about Burning Man
April 26 Visited the Burning Man site
And ever since there is not a day that Burning Man is on my mind.
I am from the Netherlands and will be joining you in the desert in 2012 (saving money already). Meanwhile I'll be learning from you all on eplaya and the site.
greatings from Amsterdam

I love the Dutch! Hope to see you in the dust my friend.

Have a swank new year

Yep, exactly! Supposed to be a muchroom!
And the Gnomes living in mushrooms is spot on! But, I don't know that its necessarily from that book, wasn't my idea, I just went with it.

Okay, so I did see the Gnome Dome. Just not from that angle. I came from the opposite direction, and then was very close to it, so the white on the dome much stood out more.

Yeah, we weren't aware that we would have a corner location tell we showed up, so our camp layout had to change on the fly. If you approached walking down 3:30 out from the man towards H, it had a totally different look.

Also, I finally found AntiM!
And I must say that the caption was very delightful!

[Katiebaby25]

Awesome! My mouth is watering just thinking about it

Thanks SEB. Hope to see you too and have a beer together!

[engineer2012]

Love to read your stories. Makes me even more wondering. 7,5 months to go.
Thanks all, and have a wonderfull 2012!

[knowmad]

Did some one say gnomes?
seeing as we have totaly hijaked your thread... lol

[illy dilly]

O man!
We're gonna have to make one of those for our camp!
let folks come by and get "Gnomes Out" or some sorta cheezy name like that.

[SquirrelHead]

I love that I am not the only virgin going to the burn!! I loved my visits to Amsterdam; it is such a beautiful and fun place.

Thanx. It is.
I think lots of virgins are going every year. Maybe over 15% of the population of BRC.
