Hey there folks, how is everyone doing? My name is Chw, or Chwdog... which ever floats your boat. I help run the Dirty Southern Burners down here in the South. I hold monthly meet n greets here in the Atlanta area, usually for about half the year - outside of festival season. I am one of the founding members of Transformus, the SouthEast Regional Burn. In 04 my we did our first event and it was my first burn ever! Talk about an experience. Anyway, dove straight into the regional scene at that point and started organizing MnG's as well as SantaCon's and such in various cities in the SE. I still do event organizing and try to keep the MnG's going here in Atlanta to keep the community building and staying in touch and meeting new people!
This is my first year at Burning Man. I have worked on 2 projects that I was supposed to join out on the Playa but I never seemed to be able working out getting out there. Its quite a distance away from NV!!! I have attended almost all the East coast burns, but have yet to make it out past this coast yet. So really looking forward to the experience and I have been learning and reading getting ready for years for this. We are actually doin a few virgin MnG's between now and then to bring in some vets to show us some camping tricks and such on getting setup. I am camping w/ A.S.S Camp. Its Charlie Smith's camp for support artists working with us on the Fire Birds of the Fifth Direction, C.O.R.E. Project. I am excited to be a part of this amazing project and help build it myself along w/ our community. Charlie Smith holds community workshops to help teach those interested metalworking skills, its pretty cool. Check out the project at www.howhowhow.com .
Thats my intro, my fb page is www.facebook.com/chwdog and all other avenues to find me are below. ROCK ON! And I look forward to seein yall crazy asses on the Playa!

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!
Have questions? Read this first: http://www.burningman.com/first_timers/
Everybody on eplaya is always excited to help first timers; but in sympathy for some of us old timers, please get your required reading out of the way before posting. As hard as it is to rein in the the excitement and enthusiasm, and as unbelievable as it might seem, most of your questions have already been asked and answered, if you just take a moment to read.
Now, let the adventure begin!

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

. . . Not enough info!
Hi Chw. I love it that you're so active in the Regionals. If you're so fond of organizing the other events this one will really light your tail on fire! . . . (Or perhaps you will simply let yourself go?) Impossible to know. Welcome to the board.

Hey Chw!
I'm glad you'll finally be able to make it the burn!
Sounds like the playa has been missing you for too long!
