Amie, "page 2" refers to a custom we have here. We tend to be cynical with new-comers who display a lack of self-reliance, or other snark-worthy characteristics. We expect people to invest some time reading this board -- which contains a cornucopia of information going back many years -- and reading the main web site, before posting.
We are notorious for snark. But we also feel an obligation to give all questions at least one legitimate answer. So our basic rule is to hold the snark until the question has been answered. This could of course take only one reply, but we have come into the habit of calling it "page 2" -- when it is "fire at will" with the snark cannons.
Of course, I snarked a little on page 1. Gotta be me.
Now.... Welcome!
It is surprising to me that anyone should decide to go to Burning Man without knowing hardly anything about it. The few cases I know of have been disasters -- "tourists", "spectators", detriments to the event. Myself, I built up extensive knowledge and understanding of the event from friends who had been going for years, and from reading every word on the BM web site. After several years of this, I found I "needed" to go. I was ready.
But your way works fine too! What matters is whether the person "is right for" the event ... make that whether the event is right for the person. Burning Man is definitely not for everyone!
So please carry on with your research, which can include participation here on the board. In 2006 I dove in with with my best artistic contributions on the "home threads" of two theme camps, and wound up invited to join them.
Just be aware that we do have some weird habits -- insider slang and such. You will catch on.
As for your tits, we need you to post a picture of them right away.
Seriously, we tend to call them boobies, with due respect.
Again, welcome. Now resume reading.
