Hello fellow humanoids

[agent13]

Hi. I'm John (playa name also John. Agent 13 is simply random, for your need to know right now anyway). I just went back to work today, following my 3rd consecutive burn. Boy does work suck! I could only handle two hours and had to leave. The usual post playa funk is still with me hard, even after decompressing luxuriously (and winning $ !) in Reno for a few days before heading home to the beautiful Central Coast of California. Anywho, just introducing myself and this is the place to do it. I've used the tips and wisdom of the awesome people of this board for three years and figured it's about time I start to contribute in whatever ways I can and quit lurking about as my good friend/neighbor/fellow burner and soon-to-be-brother-in-law describes it. I'm on my 6th load of laundry and just cleaned my car, sort of. You can never really remove all the playa from your car, and that's ok. Unlike past years, this year I want to do my "homework" before next year, mainly to increase my comfort. I have all the survival stuff down, and always come home with unused stuff, making notes and bringing less each year, but I'll be looking on here for ideas mostly on getting more and better sleep. I keep camping in a tent and not getting enough sleep due to sunshine and heat not working with my vampire party schedule. Nature's a bitch and won't be changing her ways any time soon so I'm choosing to learn to work with her so I sleep better on the playa. I'm interested in building a multi-room monkey hut structure, probably going to build a solar powered ice maker because I don't do ice runs (thanks camp mates and you're welcome for the lame sandwiches and cheddar dogs in return) and I had enough showers this year in different showers - all cold - that I'm probably going to want to rig up a luxurious (by playa standards) hot shower. I'll never roll into Black Rock glamming it up on a private bus, but I have no objections to having my creature comforts available, so long as I design them myself and they look like they came from Fred Sanford's junkyard in true Burner style. I won't ask stupid questions because I know some people don't like that. As for me, I have the patience and heart of a saint, so anybody can ask me anything and I'll do my best to help you out. Without making you feel stupid. Burn on my lovelies, and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Okay. I'm afraid to say anything, because you already know I have an unfortunate sense of humor.


Of course, I'm a fish, not a humanoid, so maybe I'm trespassing in this thread.

Welcome John.
