Discouraged from participating...

Foxfur - tinker till you tinkle baybee! Virginitis is a beautiful gift that you only get once. Enjoy it.

If you want to participate on-playa, I'd be more than happy to hire you for Poop Patrol (see: All about participating in the pottie-project thread). You seem like an energetic lad, and this would give you a front seat view of how this glorious art festival really works.

Good luck,

Looks like I'm a free agent!
The friend who invited me (not the same as mentioned above)
and her hubby are most likely not going

.
I'm still going.
They are, however, more than likely going to 4th o' Juplaya.
I'm highly likely to go as well.
Bring a few (dozen) guns, 45lbs of tannerite, flame toys, cases of fireworks, etc.
Tannerite would GREAT for gifting!

I'm still going to the real burn.
A bummer it is that buddygal isn't but there's next year.
In another way it's going to pretty neat going solo w/ no
set plans for a camp but stocked for anything.
On arrival I can cruise (@5mph) around and look for interesting real estate,
talk to odd folks (norms are weird), and maybe even run across someone I know.
It may take a special sort of neighbor to put up with the poofs.
But hey, if anything breaks, I'll be right there to help.

I can't wait!

poofers make great neieghbors!

I'm building the poofers, solar still, and hello bad kitty stuff
on my own time & dime , no problems there.

It feels to me like they're concerned but unable to
express it in a way that does not come off as
condescending. Their first burn was somewhat of a catastrophe,
which really is a bummer and I'm sorry that they had to go through
that experience. But you know what? They've had a blast in all
the successive years in which they've attended.
That's a wonderful thing.

It won't ruin my burn, no worries there.
Either they'll understand or they won't and that's out of my control.
We'll get on fine I'm sure. They've been an important part
of my life for so long. Old couples will have their crotchety days.

I am bringing no expectations.
I expect disasters of unknown magnitude and unpredictable significance.
I know without a doubt that I will have left at least
one needed item at home.
I look forward to and relish the adversities that are to come.
That's how we grow.

Thank you to every one of you who've responded.
You've given me the sanity check I needed.
"Participation" simply means different things to different people.
Imagine that
I will tinker with joyous abandon!

Ff

Frankly, stop thinking. Just do. You are what the Burn is all about. Enjoy!

C'mon by and tell me to be careful.

Be careful about buying fireworks on indian reservation land, then transporting elsewhere. Some of the wonderful things available on the res are not legal off the res. Transport may require a CDL with hazmat endorsement (federal law) and state permits/licenses to posess and shoot.

Not intending to rain on the ritual, but folks up here in the northwet do get pulled over by LEO coming from the res f/w stands.

I wish I'd taken a picture of the fireworks stand I drove by near the Muckleshoot casino... it had a hand lettered sign that said, "artillery rounds."

Gasoline is still legal and easy to transport.
Play it safe. Avoid fireworks, embrace liquid hydrocarbons.

Um, I cant remember who's Signature line this is but it pretty much sums it up.

Self-determination is a prerequisite for Self-reliance. and you'll d just fine.
See ya in the dust. oh and you should come to the Meet-n-greet.

Thanks Knowmad. Oh yeah, the meet n greet will be the highlight of my experience.
It's the one and only must-do event on my list. Everything else is optional.

I've recieved an offer of assylum in Terminal City.
I wonder if the inviter(s) woke up this morning and thought,
"Oh hell no! What was I thinking??"

See you there.

Call me odd but I have trouble pointing guns at people.
That one has the long barrel kit.
We've a few markers laying around solely for
correcting the deer when they forget it's not nice to eat the flowers.
I'd play if there were a course or field setup like
office cubicles and the managers were zombies, yahoo.

Damn EspressoDude, I don't even know what to say.
I guess we're not going to see you at 4th of Juplaya.
Unless you really overdo the lift charges

This natural reluctance can be overcome.

You just don't know the right people.

The big fireworks places are both in tennessee.
One is in at least one flm.

I figured you'd be recruited fairly heavily with all your mad skills and gear.
We don't vote for a rookie of the year, but I put you in the top ten for this season on eplaya. It's early yet, we had a few bright flares last year.

I should qualify that...
In combat? Yes. I would have done so without hesitation.
Fortunately I never had to.
In self defense, same.
In paintball, not that I can't, just saying I always have the safety aspects in mind from a lifetime of drill, "do not point a weapon at anything you are not prepared to destroy"... So it causes that internal alarm to go off
