hello to all,
i have been posting on eplaya for a couple of weeks and thought i should make an introduction. today is my 50th birthday and Burning Man my present to myself. i hope to meet people who will challenge my perception of me, leave a pile of baggage behind and come back to my family dusty.
i will be traveling with a long time greeter and most likely will help out there. i am also looking forward to visiting the kink camps and yoga/meditation camps, so if you have a suggestion or two please point me in their direction.
cheers from Toronto- susan

Re: sage_ is burning!
What a great 50th Birthday present to give yourself! 
Welcome, Susan! I'm glad you're friends with a habitual Greeter: you will have lots of reminders about 1-ply and MOOP, and less cause to doubt that you are welcome in Black Rock City at any given time. Lots of virgins are nervous about being welcome . . . but welcome you are.
Especially if you're nice to the potties and the environment.
The 9 o'clock side of the city is considered the "Red Light District" (generally from 7 o'clock to 9'o'clock-ish) but the whole city is pretty relaxed about things (I really didn't know there was a difference for a long time, but Kidsville is on the other side of the city, so there IS a bit of a difference, I guess).
You will find lots of camps that suit your interests; I might suggest Retrofrolic and Suspended Animation camp--amid the many. (Google them, or google their names with the keyword eplaya added). These--and many others of interest to you--will also be listed in the What/When/Where guide you receive at Greeters, and will probably have a listing under "Theme Camps" on the main site and in the 2012 Theme Camps forum in a few months. Stick around and you'll see . . . there are new camps every year, too.
And Yoga will be, well . . . everywhere!

And welcome to eplaya!
I'd recommend hitting up the 2012 Theme Camps section of eplaya, and looking for a camp called Retro Frolic. Run by some great people!

Please do shoot me a message if you're ever going to be in the Quebec City area. It's always nice to meet like-minded folks in old defaultia.

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
