A burning hello from Holland

Post by gerard_marcel68 » Sun Feb 24, 2019 4:38 am

Hi Burners!
Here's Gerard from The Netherlands. Me and my BF are planning to join Burning Man this year. I feel like it is quite a challenge and a life-changing event to be part of the community in the desert. We are both openminded positive guys. I love playing music and enteraining a crowd of people with an obscure Eurotrash-quality-kind of music and i can be a part of a kitchen/survival crew. Have very much experience in preparing meals for a lot of people. My BF Jaco is a handy man, creative, hands on and a technical allrounder. We are preparing our trip to Reno and the journey starts here. I would like to get in touch with veterans and virgins to learn more about Burning Man and to build up experiences that we can use in the dusty desert.
Hope to get on touch with new friends!

Welcome Gerard and Jaco. I admire you for undertaking the long distance. Have you subscribed to the Jack Rabbit Speaks? (BM newsletter). Read everything you can find on the BM site. There's lots of info for the first time participant. You can also search eplaya using google with 'eplaya' in your search. Hang out and get to know the folks here. We have 1,000s of years burner experience.

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

Hi! Thanks! I see that your camp is in the gayborhood, we would like to join a camp in that neighborhood.

Hi,
you can join the Burnerpup in Amsterdam, every second Thursday of the Month. It is held in Radion, starts at 19:00 hr. Great way to meet Dutch Burners. And join the JRS.

Everyone is so politically fucked up that they're segregating themselves in the name of equal rights and liberation.
