Burning Man 2009
    #10092777 - 04/02/09 08:01 AM (15 years, 15 minutes ago)

As the burn grows closer I have been becoming more and more excited about this year. As of right now I will be going alone. Which is frightening, but at the same time I'm excited to make the journey alone. Thinking about my own preparations to be made its looking more and more realistic to make it through the burn alone.

At the burn I am going to volunteer and participate as much as possible, though my camp will be minimalistic.

Have quite a few minor ideas for costumes this year (feel free to share any ideas).
Going to try to find an old white 3 piece suit to wear :lol:.
I believe with the theme Evolution there will be many tribal style outfits this year, so I'm gonna stock up on the face paint!

Any fellow burners out there? Are you as excited for Burning Man 09 as I am?



See you at the burn!

No apologies necessary. If I'm going to play in the sand and sun, I prefer an ocean nearby.:shrug: That place looks way too hot for me . . . :peace:

I will be doing everything in my power to get there this year. Im in school until August 14th - so burningman will be my summer vacation condensed.

I am trying to volunteer with the DPW + ill get a free ticket and food and stuff for 2/3 weeks volunteer work.

I want to volunteer in hopes to meeting cool people from far away places and learning new skills. Somebodies gotta do it, right? Im totally down for helping... It will be a perverse form of fun.

I figure its 1500kms each way, and beyond gas i wont have many expenses. So im going to save $1000 of my student loan and hope for the best... Cant go wrong with a road trip down the Oregon coast.

MerryIguana - have you been before?

I think that is a strech, it really is hotter than hell on the playa. and its is mad uninhabitable, sandstorms and rain, and your tent getting blown away if you suck at setting it up :wink:. PDU you are going to have a blast and meet mad people and learn alot about yourself and others regardless of whether you volunteer  or not. It is alot of fun though.

yeah i went for 2008 with a pair of burners from 2007 who probably won't make it this year.

definitely awesome.
i know for a fact that in order to be a Black Rock Ranger you have to have been a burner before. its like the police force of black rock city (aka burning man).

the  cool thing about it is that the police are burners. the more black rock rangers there are the less actual police they need.

out of 49,599 people (who bought tickets, some people sneak in) there was only something like 136 arrests last year. most of which were violence related. you know people get rowdy when they're drunk :shrug:
